Daily Kos Elections Morning Digest: Amid flurry of new polls, Senate outlook stays positive for Dems

[DonViejo]

Leading Off:
• A ton of Senate polling came out late Wednesday and throughout the day on Thursday. Marist and Quinnipiac led the way to declare that the sky hasn't quite fallen—but if you prefer to hedge, you can add the words "not yet" and "not entirely" to the end of that sentence:

• CA-Sen (SurveyUSA): Dianne Feinstein (D-inc): 54 (55), Elizabeth Emken (R): 35 (37); Obama 53-39 (57-35)
• FL-Sen (Marist): Bill Nelson (D-inc): 52 (52), Connie Mack (R): 39 (41); Obama 48-47 (47-46)

• MA-Sen (PPP): Elizabeth Warren (D): 50 (48), Scott Brown (R-inc): 44 (46); Obama 55-41 (57-39)

• MA-Sen (Rasmussen): Elizabeth Warren (D): 49 (48), Scott Brown (R-inc): 47 (48)

• MI-Sen (Glengariff): Debbie Stabenow (D-inc): 50 (50), Pete Hoekstra (R): 38 (34); Obama 49-42 (52-38)

• NM-Sen (Rasmussen): Martin Heinrich (D): 52 (52), Heather Wilson (R): 39 (39); Obama 54-43 (51-40)

• NV-Sen (PPP): Shelley Berkley (D): 44 (48), Dean Heller (R-inc): 47 (44); Obama 51-47 (52-43)

• NV-Sen (Suffolk): Shelley Berkley (D): 37, Dean Heller (R-inc): 40; Obama 47-45

• OH-Sen (Marist): Sherrod Brown (D-inc): 52 (50), Josh Mandel (R): 41 (41); Obama 51-45 (51-43)

• PA-Sen (Pulse Opinion for LFR): Bob Casey (D-inc): 44, Tom Smith (R): 41; Obama 47-45

• PA-Sen (McLaughlin for Smith): Bob Casey (D-inc): 46 (49), Tom Smith (R): 44 (41)

• PA-Sen (Rasmussen): Bob Casey (D-inc): 49 (49), Bob Smith (R): 45 (42); Obama 51-46 (51-39)

• VA-Sen (Marist): Tim Kaine (D): 47 (49), George Allen: 46 (44); Romney 48-47 (Obama 48-46)

• VA-Sen (Quinnipiac): Tim Kaine (D): 51 (51), George Allen: 44 (44); Obama 51-46 (50-46)

• VA-Sen (McLaughlin for Allen): Tim Kaine (D): 46, George Allen (R): 49; Romney 51-44

• VA-Sen (We Ask America): Tim Kaine (D): 41, George Allen (R): 46

• WI-Sen (Quinnipiac): Tammy Baldwin (D): 48 (47), Tommy Thompson (R): 46 (47); Obama 50-47 (51-45)

I should add that Quinnipiac also has Colorado data: Romney's now up 48-47, flipped from a 48-47 Obama lead last month. For analysis of all these numbers, check out my colleague Steve Singiser's nightly Polling Wrap.

1. And today is the point where we will start to see "The Romney Slump"

yesterday was step 1 in the One Two punch that Romney is being handed.
The number Two punch will hit him on Tuesday.
The knockout blow will be the following Monday.

Romney will have no chance of recovery and he will dig himself an even deeper hole
as he commits gaffe after gaffe in a desperate attempt to do something drastic
to change the trajectory.

What for it. It's coming.
