What Is The Public Thinking?

This week, what is the public thinking about the U.S. Senate races this November? Right now, the public believes there is a 68% chance that Democrats will win all four core Senate seats—up five points from last week. That kind of momentum is solid, it means our work is making a difference. But 68% is not a guarantee.
