The R’s are milk toast RINOs, but the poll is suspect. It is of Registered voters. It also shows neither incumbent getting over 50% or even 50% of the vote.
We will see what happens in September and November when the idiots start to pay attention.
I think those are dismal numbers for an incumbent. But what do I know?
He’s not the incumbent. The incumbent, Carl Levin, is retiring.
Yeah, Gary Peters isn’t exactly Mr Excitement and the race has been pretty quiet lately and neither one faces a primary challenger.
Its kind of a holding pattern race right now.
LOL see, what do I know!
Still he’s a Democrat running for a Democratic seat, so I’d expect his numbers to be much higher.
Then they'll lose. Look what happened in OH. The economy was dismal, and people wanted a change. They voted in state legislators who vote for the conservative issues a majority want.
Voted for by the state are Senator Portman and Gov Kasich, chosen by RINO ptb to run. The state tried to vote more conservative, and instead got these two. And Boehner from his district. What good is it to have RINOs such as these when they undo as much of the Republican agenda as dems would?
JMHO, Kasich has a chance of losing. All of his compromising and supporting business interests but not conservative issues has him coming across as a nice guy but not having guiding principles, except for throwing money around to people who need it the least.
“Still hes a Democrat running for a Democratic seat, so Id expect his numbers to be much higher.”
That’s true.
The Dems. will be counting the votes and “finding” enough votes to “win.” The fix is in. The electoral process is useless.
NBC/Marxist poll
Registered voter polls, always leaning Dem, and always useless.
That the other side is worrying about these two states speaks to how strong is our position this year. We need to net six seats to take outright control of the Senate. (* indicates open seat)
MT*, SD*, WV* - our candidates have strong leads
AR, LA and NC - toss-up or our candidate has a small lead
AK - uncertain
ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE RED STATES
CO, IA*, MI* - toss-up or their candidate has a small lead
MN, NH, OR, VA - their candidates have strong leads
ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE PURPLE STATES
Our seats that are at risk (both of which are Red States):
GA*, KY
I think the odds are that we pick up 7 to 10 seats. If it is 10 or so, Angus King of ME and/or Joe Mancin of WV may join our caucus.
In addition to expanding our caucus, we want to improve our caucus. We have won a few internal fights this year. Mississippi might still be a possibility. Of the toss-up states, Iowa is particularly important given who are candidate is.
All polls are suspect. There are no polls or ‘official facts’ that have any purpose save to demoralize the electorate and make Democrat dominance appear to be preordained by god.
these are outlier polls designed to skew realclearpolitics averages.
They are the push polls.
He also was seen as a kid who job hopper. He went from state congress to the State Treasury and within a year was running for U.S. Senate. He was a little to much of an opportunist running against a dynastic name in a 50/50 state that had big Democrat turnout and the Obama fraud machine working Overtime.
As for Kasich. He will win by a landslide. He will take Ohio 57% (r)- 52% (d) - 1% (Nutter. He holds a 15% lead in a low turn out year against a job hopper from Cuyahoga County who was named Public Official #14 in one of the largest political corruption cases in the history of the country and certainly in the history of Ohio.
Also’ as much as I dislike some of what Kasich has done, including Medicare expansion. He has lowered taxes. Turned a multi-billion$ deficit into an $800 million surplus. added lots of jobs and opened the way for fracking and oil and gas exploration. The state is in a much better way than it was under Strickland and Fitzgerald is a nobody with no message.
Towns are struggling. A formula that improved the balance would I'd expect mean less money being thrown away and more money going to those voters who actually support Kasich.
Marist polls exhibit a Democrat bias.
I;m in Ohio and don’t think Kasich is going to lose in 2014. He is running against a nobody from Cleveland - the guy has no name recognition and his campaign is very low key. most don’t know or won’t know who he is until they go to the polls in November. I could be wrong, though.
Colorado is a shame. A beautiful state that has slid into the obis of hell called Dimocrat party faithful.
