SENATE POLLS
Here is our latest Senate forecast. It remains unchanged in the final outlook, as there will be 53 Dems and 47 Rethugs if the election were held today.
ARIZONA–Anzalone-Liszt for the Carmona campaign: Jeff Flake (R) 44, Richard Carmona (D) 43, Marc Victor (L) 3—Slim GOP
ARIZONA–Rasmussen: Jeff Flake (R) 47, Richard Carmona (D) 41—Lean GOP
I have to take the average of the multiple polls in one race when I get more than two showing different results on the same day. When I do that here, it is Flake 45.5, Carmona 42, or Slim GOP.
CONNECTICUT–PPP: Chris Murphy (D) 48, Linda McMahon (R) 42—Lean Dem
FLORIDA–Quinnipiac for CBS/NYT: Sen. Bill Nelson (D) 53, Connie Mack IV (R) 39—Strong Dem
