A look at the latest Senate polling shows just how bad things are for the Republicans. Mark Warner of Virginia has a 31 point lead, Tom Udall of New Mexico has a 28 point lead, Carl Levin of Michigan has a 22 point lead, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire has a 14 point lead, and Mark Udall of Colorado and Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey have 9 point leads. Non-partisan polling shows Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky clinging to a four point lead and Norm Coleman of Minnesota clinging to a three point lead. Ted Stevens of Alaska and Roger Wicker of Mississippi are in deadheats, and Pat Roberts of Kansas, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, and Gordon Smith are polling under 50 percent.
It’s probably a good time to capitulate to Republicans in the Senate so they don’t take advantage of these current strengths.
