Senate Balance of Power September 6, 2006
Based upon our latest poll in New Jersey Rasmussen Reports is shifting the Garden State Senate race from “Leans Democrat” to “Toss-Up.” This reduces the number of states in the Democrat or Leans Democrat categories to 45. Fifty Senate seats are favored to remain in GOP hands while 5 are now in the Toss-Up category. (see State-by-State Summary).
This is the sixth change in our Senate Balance of Power summary. All six changes have pointed to a tighter race in October and five of the six have reduced the Democrats’ advantage in a state (Virginia is the sole exception).
