U.S. Senate Polls & Projections Updated: GOP +7 – 9/30/10

The Senate Polls & Projections page has been updated tonight, and the GOP continues to be heading for a 7-seat gain in the U.S. Senate. Republicans have really solidified their lead in a number of races – Wisconsin, Kentucky, Florida, and North Carolina, among others.

The GOP is within 5.8-points in five other seats held by Democrats – Nevada, West Virginia, Washington, California, Connecticut. They need to pickup three of these five while hanging on in the seven pickup races where they are currently ahead.

We have added Alaska to the table of races that could change hands. Lisa Murkowski’s write-in bid is a longshot, but one poll has her only two points down to Joe Miller. Right now, Miller has an 8.5-point lead in the average of polls.
