Even Faux News Polls Show That The Race For The Senate Is Moving Towards Democrats

A new batch of polls from Faux News show that the momentum is definitely moving towards Democrats keeping the Senate, as repugican incumbent Pat Roberts in Kansas is in danger of losing his seat.

The Faux News poll of North Carolina shows Democratic incumbent Sen. Kay Hagan leading Thom Tillis 41%-36% with 6% supporting Libertarian Sean Hough. In Iowa, Democrat Bruce Braley and repugican Jodi Ernst are tied at 41%. The bad news for Democrats comes in Louisiana where Sen. Mary Landrieu is trailing repugican Bill Cassidy 35%-31% in the four-way general election contest and 51%-38% in the potential runoff.

The bombshell race is in Kansas, when repugican incumbent Pat Roberts is in danger of losing his seat. Since Democrat Chad Taylor withdrew from the race, Independent Greg Orman has continued to surge. With Taylor’s name still on the ballot, Roberts leads Orman 40%-38% with Taylor getting 11%. If Taylor’s name is not on the ballot, Orman leads Roberts 48%-42%. The Kansas State Supreme Court heard the case relating to Taylor’s name appearing on the ballot on Tuesday, and a decision is expected shortly.

When even the Faux News polls are showing serious signs of Democratic momentum, repugicans have a big problem on their hands. Coming into 2014, Mitch McConnell thought that by late September he could start planning his agenda as Majority Leader, but things have not gone the repugican cabal’s way. If Orman beats Roberts, Democrats will likely keep control of the Senate. Democratic incumbents in Arkansas and North Carolina continue to hold small leads. The Iowa Senate polls are over the map, but the average of all polls shows the Democrat with a small edge.

Despite putting most of their resources into the Senate contests, repugicans have not been able to expand the map. The momentum has shifted back to Democrats, with only the usual repugican leaning polls showing a rosy scenario for the repugican cabal. While the mainstream media and pundits continue to insist that Democratic control of the Senate is doomed, the polling data is telling a different story.

The media and pundits claimed that Mitt Romney was in a position to win, when polling data was revealing the potential for Obama blowout in 2012. The media were wrong then, and they are going down the same path again. Democrats are a lock to keep the Senate, the needle is moving in their direction.
