Isn't Gravis a hack Gooper-friendly pollster? If so, then Donnelly is in very good shape. If not, he's still in good shape. He's the only allegedly "vulnerable" Dem I've been concerned about, well, along with McCaskill, but Hawley is self-destructing nicely.

Let's keep it up. Rokita is particularly deplorable (and corrupt apparently)

I think it is a fair assumption that the majority of undecided will go to the GOP.

It’ll be a good race, but I won’t be surprised at all if he holds his seat.

His best chance is to go against Rokita, who’s very much a far right Trump Republican. Messer is more of a moderate Republican and could siphon off moderates for him where Rokita can’t.

then its winnable election. Its a real possibility everywhere in america as voters flee the trump/republican circus. Donnelly is well thought of in Indiana.

GOP must be completely stretched out across the entire electoral map.

They're all competing with each other to say which licks Trump's spit more (in their ads).
One puts on a MAGA hat. I'm waiting for the others to put on even MORE hats.

I really don't think Trump is going to win them many votes. Let's hope the most extreme one wins the primary.
