Zogby, never noted for favoring Republicans, continues to track the November elections less favorably for Dems than do other sources.
The Wall Street Journal's handy interactive map for tracking current polling data, strangely similar to the NY Times's, shows a net gain of one Senate seat for the Democrats, leaving the GOP with a comfortable 55-45 majority.
Further, Zogby puts Brown's lead over DeWine in Ohio within the margin of error. If DeWine pulls off a squeaker, then the Senate, minus Rick Santorum but plus Tom Kean, Jr. from New Jersey, stands pat.
Meanwhile, the pathetic, inept campaign of Ken Blackwell can take hope in the Zogby report that he still trails empty suit Ted Strickland by only ten points. We think there's still time for Blackwell to make a run by telling his story and touting his moderate, appealing proposals, not the ridiculous character assassination on which he's been relying. The problem with character assassination in a race like this is that no one is voting for Strickland because of his character to begin with. They're just voting against the Republicans, and negative campaigning gives one more reason to do that.
Plan a nice buffet of snacks for the evening of November 7, because it looks like you'll still be munching in the early morning of November 8.
