The latest news from Nate Silver - the Democrats favorite pollster who famously called every state in the 2012 presidential election - should give those of us aiming for a GOP Senate majority reason to be optimistic. In an upgrade from what was once a pure toss-up, he writes: We think the Republicans are now slight favorites to win at least six seats and capture the chamber. He laid out the raw calculations on Sundays episode of This Week with George Stephanopoulos. The big reason? A great class of GOP candidates - and the sinking Senate Democrats, weighed down by President Obamas low approval rating. Four states - out of the six needed for a majority - are likely to be picked up by Republicans. Those seats are West Virginia, South Dakota, Montana, and Arkansas. And between toss-up races like North Carolina and Michigan, and recent map expansions (Colorado, New Hampshire) - theres a lot out there that could easily swing our way with the right work. Most importantly, Nate Silver also called out the national momentum shift of the nation. Fed up with years of bad results from Democrats, Americans are looking for new management.
