Latest 2010 election polls on senate races don’t look good for Evan Bayh or Harry Reid
February 12th, 2010
From Examiner.com:
Democratic Senators Evan Bayh (IN) and Harry Reid (NV) could be in trouble according to recent polls on RealClearPolitics.com. The recent election of Scott Brown to the senate has struck fear in the heart of many democrats. That fear may be justified.

Dirty Harry
Harry Reid, the senate minority leader, may also be in deep trouble. A poll by the very liberal Daily Kos shows Reid trailing two potential opponents by 6 and 9 points. In 2004 Reid won by 26% points.
The Bottom Line
Americans are angry. The independents and moderate republican voters who put Obama in office having buyer’s remorse. Consider these other polls:
- Generic Congressional Ballot– Republicans win by 2.5%.
- Congressional Job Approval – 66% disapprove.
- 56.8% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction.
- Obama’s approval numbers are at 49%.
- Between 55% and 58% of Americans oppose Obamacare.
If the democrats try to really understand the problem maybe they can turn things around. The more likely option is that they will treat America like a foreclosed house – tear out all the piping, rip off the doors and kick holes in the walls – all to make sure the next guy has a harder time.
