ELECTIONS

  • Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Primary: Specter 51%, Sestak 36%

    Incumbent Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter remains barely over 50% but still holds a 15-point lead over his Democratic Primary challenger, Congressman Joe Sestak.

  • Ohio Governor: Kasich 47%, Strickland 41%

    The story’s the same again this month in the Ohio gubernatorial contest, with Republican challenger John Kasich holding a modest lead over incumbent Democrat Ted Strickland.

  • Colorado Governor: Hickenlooper 49%, McInnis 45%

    With incumbent Governor Bill Ritter out of the way, it's a different ballgame for Colorado Democrats. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper has now moved ahead of his likeliest Republican opponent, Scott McInnis, in Colorado's race for governor.

  • Nevada Governor: Reid Trails Sandoval, Beats Other GOP Hopefuls

    The first Rasmussen Reports look at this year’s election for governor of Nevada finds Democrat Rory Reid, son of Senator Harry Reid, trailing Republican frontrunner Brian Sandoval by 12 points, 45% to 33%, among likely voters in the state.

  • Ohio Senate: GOP’s Portman Still Holds Slim Lead

    Republican Rob Portman still has narrow leads over his two chief Democratic opponents for the seat being vacated by GOP Senator George Voinovich in Ohio.

  • Nevada Senate: Reid Runs Second To Four GOP Opponents

    Harry Reid may soon have one more Republican opponent in Nevada’s race for the U.S. Senate, and his numbers remain in troublesome territory for an incumbent. Reid, like a number of Democratic Senate incumbents, appears to be suffering from voter unhappiness over the national health care plan and the continuing bad state of the economy.

  • Colorado Senate: GOP’s Norton Still The Front-Runner

    Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton now posts a 14-point lead over incumbent Democrat Michael Bennett, but her lead over Bennet’s intraparty challenger, Andrew Romanoff, is not as big in the race for the U.S. Senate in Colorado.

  • Connecticut Governor: Democrats' Lamont First Among Equals

    The man who unsuccessfully challenged Joe Lieberman for the U.S. Senate in 2006 is the Democrat who runs best for now against the two top Republican hopefuls in the race for governor in Connecticut - but just barely. Given the closeness of the potential matchups and the high number of undecided voters, the contest at this stage appears to be wide open.

  • Kentucky Senate: GOP Hopefuls Remain Out Front

    Rand Paul, who picked up Sarah Palin’s endorsement on Monday, and fellow Republican Trey Grayson continue to lead their two chief Democratic rivals in Kentucky’s contest for the U.S. Senate.

  • Illinois Senate: Kirk 46%, Giannoulias 40%

    Republican Mark Kirk holds a modest 46% to 40% lead over Democrat Alexi Giannoulias in the race for the Illinois Senate following Tuesday’s party primaries.
