1. 28 yes, 4 leaning yes, 11 undecided. Have I got that right?

2. yes, 2 clearly leaning yes, 2 more hesitant yes

Additionally, I expect Cardin, Heitkamp, Murray and Cantwell to come off the fence in favor of it.

I expect Rand Wyden, Coons, and Corey "Leave Bain Alone" Booker to come out against it.

7. I understand that it may be less

AIPAC's influence for Menendez and more that he opposes Prez O's Cuba policy, so this is a way of showing his displeasure generally. He's like a petulant GOPer - or is that redundant?

He's a crook anyway. Hope that he soon is ousted one way or another.
