This poll published today has the Iowa Democrat Greenfield up 42% to 40% (19% undecided) against Republican Joni Ernst. And among that 19%, Greenfield has a slight edge in whom they lean towards.

I don't recall seeing Data for Progress ever used by Electoral-vote.com. The above results are from a Monmouth poll completed on August 3. Both polls show what other recent polls have shown, that this is a seat very much in play, when it wasn't on anyone's radar as a potential switch a few months ago.

Lindsey Graham can now start officially crapping in his pants, because South Carolina is once again a tie. Seeing him lose would be a fitting consolation now that it appears that Mitch McConnell remains safe in Kentucky. But Martha McSally and Susan Collins are definitely going to be sent packing. Too bad, so sad.

A new poll in Georgia put Perdue two points ahead of Ossoff. It's going to be a tight (and very expensive) race.

Hopefully this will stay because if Trump wins (and I am afraid he may), I'd bet he'd try to pack the court now that he's learned he might be able to. With the Senate behind him, who knows what could happen.

I think most analysts believe that taking the Senate will be unlikely for Democrats if Trump manages to hold onto the presidency.

And Georgia flips back to Perdue by two points. But four polls, only one with a lead of less than five points, suggest that Cal Cunningham's sex scandal has not hurt him in North Carolina.

Would like to see a new poll in KY following the McConnell-McGrath debate. And I suspect SC is not as pink as shown.
GAH!
