News from the Votemaster

I have been away recently and there has been little news lately. Summers tend to be full of BBQs and hot dogs rather rather than polls. When the second quarter financial reports are published, I'll put them here. I have been updating the Senate page regularly when there is news on that front.

Here are the primary polls. An interesting development is the rise of Mitt Romney in Iowa and New Hampshire and the decline of John McCain in multiple states. In the most recent Iowa poll, Romney is polling at 25% and McCain is polling at a miserable 6%. In New Hampshire, a Suffolk University poll puts Romney at 26% and McCain at 13%. Romney victories in these states would not guarantee him the nomination, but coming in at 13% and worse in these key states would certainly finish off McCain, who is already very unpopular with the Republican base for his support of the immgration bill, which was defeated for a second time today. If and when Fred Thompson enters the race, we will start adding him to the polls too. He could shake things up enormously.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton is edging up on John Edwards in Iowa, but otherwise nothing much has changed.

A potentially significant development in the Senate is a poll from ARG about the New Hampshire Senate race. If former governor Jeanne Shaheen (D) were to enter the race against incumbent Sen. John Sununu (R), she would crush him, 57% to 29% according to an ARG poll released today. Coming after the Democrats sweep of virtually everything in 2006 in New Hampshire (governor, both House seats, and both houses of the state legislature), this poll has to be keeping Sununu up nights. DSCC chairman Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been lobbying Shaheen mightily to get her to run.

Rumors that Sen. John Warner (R-VA) is going to retire rather than run again are getting stronger. This has to be worrisome to NRSC chairman Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) because while Warner is a shoo-in for reelection if he runs, the seat has to be rated a tossup if he retires, and if former Virginia governor Mark Warner (D) (no relation) runs, he is probably the favorite, in part because Mark Warner has already demonstrated that he can win statewide office in Virginia and in part because Democrats have won the most recent statewide races there (Jim Webb to the Senate in 2006 and Tim Kaine to the governorship in 2005). If the Republicans lose the open seat in Colorado, an open seat in Virginia, and Sununu goes down to defeat in New Hampshire, the Republicans have virtually no chance of retaking the Senate because only two Democrats are in danger, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD).
