Several GOP seats in the Senate are up for grabs, according to a new poll commissioned by Roll Call and conducted by automated polling firm SurveyUSA. The survey finds presumptive Democratic nominees beating Republican rivals by large margins in Virginia and New Hampshire.
“In the likely general election race in Virginia between former Gov. Mark Warner (D) and his predecessor, ex-Gov. Jim Gilmore (R), Warner was preferred by 57 percent of those surveyed compared with 35 percent for Gilmore,” writes Roll Call’s Josh Kurtz.
“Things also look bleak for the GOP in New Hampshire, as the state’s former governor, Jeanne Shaheen, maintains an 11 point lead over Sen. John Sununu (R), who previously defeated her for the seat in 2002,” Raw Story reports.
Political insiders say that other states, including Colorado and Minnesota, are currently leaning Democratic.
