It's a tough one because 50% don't pay anything and are better off under the Obama tax plan. It's a very polarizing issue. It depends on how many working people are motivated to come out the woods and vote again.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

So Far

Manchin +6.0
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... enate/West Virginia/west_virginia_senate_morrisey_vs_manchin-6258.html

McCaskill +1.0
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -6280.html

Sinema +7.4
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -6328.html

Now what do you think is going to happen when Americans see their healthcare premium cost go up this fall?


It is very good to see Sinema up in the polls, but as I mentioned in another thread here that race is likely going to tighten. Link

Health premiums?..i think most Americans will still remember that Obamacare as that reason.
and I currently still think the lay of the land favors the #BlueWave .

Bill Nelson seems to be in significant trouble in Florida. I find Rick Scott's success to be more baffling that Trump's. I understand that Florida has moved more red because of old people, but Rick Scott?

They elected Jerry Brown in CA and re-elected Marion Barry...voters are entertaining en masse. The Polling/Survey business has got be high-stress these days.

Most recent poll shows Bredesen (in Tenn.) winning by six percentage points. It is political suicide for Republicans to nominate a woman. There is a significant number of Evangelicals that really follow sexists Biblical verses.

That could be a big reason why McCain got just 74% of the Evangelical vote with Sarah Palin on the ticket with him. LDS Romney got a higher percentage of the Evangelical vote than McCain. Romney got about 78% of the Evangelical vote.

Your post is ignorant:
just ask,
Susana Martinez, Mary Fallin, Kay Ivey, Kim Reynolds, and even Nikki Haley.
Of the 6 incumbent female Governors, 4 of them are Republicans...and if Nikki weren't ambassador it would be 5 of 7.

Okay I exaggerated, but there is still a significant number of evangelical voters that don't believe women should be leaders. I know one in person, and she is a woman.
