Approval, incumbent US Senators up for election in 2016
#2
(05-17-2016, 05:53 PM)pbrower2a Wrote: Note: This assessment can change rapidly should the Republicans not play obstructionist games with the nomination of a Justice of the Supreme Court. Anyone with an approval rating below 40% is in extreme danger of defeat, no matter what State he represents. Many pols with such low approval ratings retire  or get defeated in a primary.

Of course, should Republicans act responsibly with an Obama appointment this assessment reverses.
Every Democrat running against an incumbent Senator should be hammering over and over again about how important the stake of shifting the Supreme Court is in their race.
Also, Murray and Wyden only "likely" Democratic wins?  They're long time incumbents and the GOP has condemned itself to irrelevancy west of the Cascades.
