The key is independents. The electorate is split roughly 33% Republican, 33% democrat and 33% Independents. The party faithful will vote for their own even if they have to hold their noses doing it.
The independents determine the outcome of most (honest) elections. The polls I am seeing show independents going for Republicans.
