Daily Kos Elections Weekend Digest

MT-Sen: Tester still locked in a dead heat, says PPP

On the horserace front, it is a pretty quiet data week, probably the first of several, as we head into summer. There are more presidential approval polls to be had (the results are...well...basically what they have been for weeks), and the guy with the flattop to the right has new numbers that reinforce what we have long known: he has going to have to go all out to keep his seat in the U.S. Senate. Jon Tester looks like he is facing his second straight coin flip race in Montana.

We also have new presidential numbers in Oregon, while SUSA provides the first decent polling news for Tim Pawlenty since, quite possibly, his gubernatorial run in 2006.

And that's not all! Here are some other headlines to peruse as we put a shiny bow on the week that was in U.S. electoral politics:

  • You may well not believe a poll out this week that has President Obama picking off eleven electoral votes absolutely no one projected in his column. But, then again, there may be good reason not to be believe that poll.
  • Another House Democrat retires, though any "Dems in disarray!" story on this particular exit would be ridiculously incorrect.
  • Are Democrats potentially competitive in a deep-red state's U.S. Senate seat? Why, yes. Yes, they are. Find out where, and with whom, a potentially unthinkable pickup appears to be possible.

All that and...well, you get the idea...with the weekend edition of the Daily Kos Elections Digest.
