Levin isn’t running for reelection in Michigan either and the Republican candidate is fairly strong.
Don't be silly, Mitch already said he would restore the rules if he becomes Senate Majority Leader.
Here are a few polls, click the next page for older results.
My guess things will begin to pick up now we are past Labor Day.

McConnell has already promised to undo those rules if he winds up majority leader. He said it himself.

LOLOL! You wish. Bohner got rid of conservative chairmen in the house because they were... well... conservative.
Mitch won't let a conservative on any important chairmanship.
And since McConnell provided Reid with the critical cloture votes that Harry needed to advance his agenda, what makes you think he wouldn't advance Reid's agenda some more?
Pretending you can 'hold their feet to the fire' is wishful thinking.

this is what would change.
in the Senate,
Harry Reid, as minority leader,
would have to actively oppose budget bills
from the GOP.
right now, Harry can just let the bill sit on his desk
because he decides what the Senate votes on.
Give it time. Stuart Smalley is polling at 44 percent favorability, Baraq is at 43 percent here, Smalley has cast 159 out of 161 votes with the Caliph and McFadden hasn't even hit Weird Al on his record yet. We're hoping for a warm fall here.
Mitch is on the Ten List.
The ONLY GOP Senator on the list.
By the time January rolls around, he would have already been hired
at Trent Lott’s DC Lobbying firm,
‘As Rush pointed out, has anyone noticed there are no polls being done?’
Thanks for mentioning this. I had been wondering about the dearth of new senate race polls. Rush’s theory is probably right. Certainly if the Dems were doing better than expected, we would be seeing new polling results much more frequently, or so it seems.
For one thing, get rid of Harry Reid who has 300 House Bills he refuses to let come up for a vote.
Oh and there is that little issue of nominating a Supreme Court judge should a vacancy become open.....
I remember when Jimmy Carter was getting waxed, the media told us the race was too close to call. They told us Michael Dukakis’ “I’m on your side message” repeated two dozen times had made the race a dead heat.
So when they told us Bill Clinton was winning I didnt believe them, and they reported the 1994 and 2010 GOP landslides as they are reporting today.
Given the current climate, if the GOP ran dead dogs and slimy lizards they could win, if nothing else as as a protest vote.
There should be no reason for our candidates to lack $$$. We should all contribute.
Seeing some folks on this board reflexively get upset that the Republicans could win cracks me up.
Do you really think a Republican majority Senate would block a Supreme Court appointment by the first Black President?
I worked hard for several here in Texas, and worked hard to get rid of one liberal republican.
I'm conservative. I'm not republican.
I despise liberals.
The current Speaker of the House, and Minority leader of the Senate are liberals.

I gave $50 to Scott Brown. Guess who had held the seat for 50 years? Hint: think Chappaquiddik.
Especially if the nominee is black, female or Hispanic.
These gutless bastards were too scared to even put Hillary under oath
when she testified in the House.
Reid would not be able to sit on 0ver 300 bills that passed the house.
Every Brown commercial ends “Secure the border - enforce the law”.
I presume he will win the primary next week. If so, I’m in.
