A couple of new ones by PPP, a Democrat polling firm.
In Wisconsin, Ron Johnson is up over Democrat incumbent Russ Feingold by 11 points. Since the last few polls ( including the far more reliable Rasmussen) have shown Johnson leading, this could be another case where a common-sense conservative wipes out a Leftist incumbent.
Now that the primary is over, GOP support is coalescing behind Ron Johnson and I have a feeling it won't be long before Wisconsin slips into the GOP pickup column.
Even better is the news from the race in West Virginia for Robert Byrd's old seat, which shows Republican challenger John Raese ahead of Democrat Governor Joe Manchin 46-43%.
The only reason it's that close is that Manchin is generally popular within the state.Meanwhile, Obama has horrible ratings here in this solid Red State and Raese has been pushing the narrative that Manchin will just be another vote for Obama's agenda. If the tend continues, the GOP might just collect Senator Kleagle's seat as a trophy of the midterms.
And finally, as I predicted,in Alaska Murkowski's followers are deserting her in droves after her announcement of a write in campaign, Republican and Tea Party fave Joe Miller is leading both Murkowski and Democrat Scott McAdamas by double digits, according to Rasmussen.
