From Rasmussen:
Republican John Raese has now opened up a seven-point lead over West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin in perhaps the most improbably close U.S. Senate contest in the country. It’s Raese’s biggest lead yet.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely West Virginia Voters finds Raese with 50% support to Manchin’s 43%. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate in the race, and five percent (5%) are undecided…
Can’t but envy West Virginians – seems that Manchin has been a pretty good governor, so West Virginians will get to keep the man they want in West Virginia while sending the man they need to DC to block Obama.
Still a very high hill to climb for the GOP to win a Senate majority (and in a lot of ways, having 50 or 49 GOPers would be best, anyway), but if we take West Virginia it becomes a definite possibility.
