Must Reads: It’s Not All Doom and Gloom for Senate Democrats (For Now)
by Evan McMurry | 9:45 am, April 23rd, 2014

....
The Upshot, the New York Times new data vertical, ran its second post in two days that should have Democrats breathing a tiny bit easier. Yesterday, the Times’ wonk team projected the Democrats had a razor-thin likelihood of retaining the Senate in the 2014 midterms, a fresh breeze after Nate Silver’s projection that they had a 60% chance of losing the upper chamber sent some folks into a tizzy.

Today, an Upshot/Kaiser poll found several contested Senate races to be closer than originally thought, with incumbent Mark Pryor (D-AK) holding on to a ten point lead over his GOP challenger, and embattled Democratic Senators like Mary Landrieu and Kay Hagan polling neck and neck with their opponents.

(Challenger Alison Grimes also polled even with Mitch McConnell.) Republicans need to win six seats to take back the Senate, so if Democrats can eke out victories in some of these races, that’ll go a long way toward retaining the upper chamber.
