Not a lot of surprises here -- Reid is tanking, and Rasmussen picked the best possible time to show how damaged he is. The Minnesota Governor's race is tilted in the direction of the ex-Senators, but I find it hard to imagine Dayton proving to be a formidable candidate after the DFL convention.
I'm almost mildly surprised that Rasmussen isn't showing a better result for insurgent candidates Lamontagne and Binnie in the New Hampshire Senate race, but I suppose that neither of of those guys have established themselves in the public consciousness to a great degree yet. What I'm really interested in seeing is how Ayotte holds up in a GOP primary. |
