I think that's the consensus, but I also think that the chance of the dems taking the senate is a bit higher than winning the presidency, and that we need to treat both races with equal concern. Sometimes, especially in a presidential election year, the legislative races get shifted to a back seat.

Re: 2020 Senate polls and projections
The only poll in the one-week window is by Morning Consult, whose model has a Republican lean, and has Graham ahead 48-42 All other recent polls have been much narrower.

Last I saw they were tied.
Much as I can’t wait to hear the words ‘former President’, I also long to see Mitch and Lindsey on K Street.

Re: 2020 Senate polls and projections
They’ve been saying that James has a better chance in the state (Michigan) than Trump and the senate race is tight. (God I hope not). While i’d Love to have Peters out on his ass (he is to much a much a insider politician) the country can’t afford another two years of Mitch Rule.
Right now the only Republican i’m Considering voting for is Candice Miller for public works commissioner. Even though she positioned herself as a Trump supporter during her second term in the US House it says a lot that she gave up a relatively safe seat in the house for a managerial county level seat. She has always seemed to be a person more interested in running an office well than partisan matters. The Secretary of State ran about as good is it ever had under her watch

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Steve Bullock was ahead 2 points in a poll that came out today, but when averaged with earlier polls he is still trailing a bit.

Re: 2020 Senate polls and projections
I will be surprised if he pulls it out, but pleasantly of course (just because Montana is very backward).
Steve Bullock is a great guy, he was my boss once as AG, did a great job there and has been a great governor in both good and terrible times. He would be an excellent Senator or in the alternative, a fabulous interior Secretary (or other cabinet position).

Re: 2020 Senate polls and projections
Three new polls with one- or two-point leads in either direction combine to make Iowa a tie. A PPP poll has Barbara Bollier pulling into a tie with Roger Marshall. Did anyone think that Kansas would be in play after Republicans were smart enough to reject Kris Kobach in the primary?

Looking at some other polling aggregators in the home stretch:
The Real Clear Politics Senate No Toss Ups map projects the same 51D-49R split.
270 To Win's Senate map shows 49D. 47R and 4 toss ups (Montana, Iowa, North Carolina and Georgia).

Ok, that's completely weird. The other Georgia races should be showing as a dark red, not as a light blue. It displays correctly on the website, not sure what is happening here.
(eta - it turns out the map was correct and the tally was wrong - has now been corrected to reflect that Democrat Raphael Warnock is ahead of Republican Kelly Loeffler in the Georgia special senate election)

Re: 2020 Senate polls and projections
Would not rule out SC, KS or AK as Dem pick-ups. I think SC and AK are going to be too close to call until very late on election night or even days after.
GAH!
