Survey USA took the summer off, but comes back with some fascinating new polling numbers:
Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell sinks from an approve-disapprove of 57-37 in May to 44-47 in August , a negative 23-point swing against McConnell. (May was a very favorable outlier for McConnell.)

By carrying Indiana, Obama would put an emphatic stamp on a convincing victory over John McCain. What’s more, it would also show that many Hoosiers split their tickets, considering Republican Mitch Daniels (who received the Indiana Chamber’s first-ever gubernatorial endorsement) was re-elected with nearly 60% of the vote.

Former Vice President Al Gore has sent out a mass e-mail asking for supporters’ contributions to help Democrats win the three undecided U.S. Senate races and attain a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority.
“On Election Day, we won six new seats, giving us a total of 57 Democratic senators,” Gore wrote in the e-mail sent on Friday. “Now we have a chance to get even closer to a filibuster-proof majority."

It’s March of 2008 and, in addition to a historic Presidential race, there are numerous high-profile and competitive Senate races. So, of course, it’s too early to take a look at 2010’s Senate races, right?

Over a year ago, I took a first glance at the 2010 races , which feature 19 Republican-held seats up compared with 15 Democratic seats. Among those up for re-election are 8 Republican Senators who will be at least 70 years old on Election Day 20... more
Texas : The Dallas Morning News highlights an interesting statistic : Democratic State Representative and Lieutenant Colonel Rick Noriega pulled in more than 111,000 more votes in his four-way primary than Bush-rubber-stamp John Cornyn received in his two-way primary against a fringe opponent. Doesn’t seem like Cornyn’s base is too fired up.
