I hope the Democratic numbers aren't peaking too soon, because you are right that the Senate numbers have been VERY good over the past week, and Nate Silver has said the same thing.

Florida - Nelson way ahead of Mack

Massachusetts - Warren has now powered into a lead over Brown in 4 different polls

Wisconsin - Baldwin has finally moved up and Tied with Thompson

Virginia - Kaine ahead in most polls and may be breaking away

It would be great if the election were next week - the question is, will these numbers hold for another 6 weeks?
