Holy cow! 538's Senate polls plus is running away to the Democrats



The map is far worse if one looks at polls only or the now cast.

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/senate/

* Catherine Cortez-Masto is running away with it from Joe Heck in NV.
* Roy Blunt's seat is slipping away Jason Kander in MO.
* Maggie Hansen has Kelly Ayotte on the ropes in NH.
* Evan Bayh is crushing Todd Young in IN.
* And now Deborah Ross is over 51% odds on Richard Burr in NC.
* Ron Johnson is dead to Russ Fiengold in WI.
* Same for Mark Kirk in IL, losing badly to Tammy Duckworth.
* Katie McGinty is destroying Pat Toomey in PA.

For those scoring at home, that's 5 Republican incumbents losing right now.

Keep the pedal to the metal Democrats!

Very disappointed in Ohio! Strickland has been attacked relentlessly by the NRA and others, though.

Nevertheless, it's great news overall!

He ran an ad in which he assembled a machine gun blindfolded, and he's hammering Blunt because everyone in his family are lobbyists. Those themes are playing well in red Missouri.

Most people don't split their ballots, yet Hillary is beating Trump badly in FL and has been since the 2nd debate. However, Rubio has bigger numbers than Hillary in his contest.

WTF indeed.
