As Mid-terms Start in Earnest

**In one of my favorite races,PPP released a poll on the South Dakota Senate race,which everyone has as a certain GOP pick-up. Rick Weiland,who did get noticed by Elizabeth Warren,has traveled to every berg in the state and vows to do it again by the time the election is over. Very heavily favored and funded Mike Rounds holds a 39 to 31 lead over Weiland. Larry Pressler, former very conservative Senator running as an independent, is at 13% and independent Howe is at 5%. But those who actually know who Weiland is favor him 42 to 33%. 

++Fox News has an anomaly--at least for them. Among registered voters Democrats are favored by 46 to 39 over Republicans. But among "interested" voters Republicans have a 45 to 44 lead.

++On favorability, Democrats have 47 favorable, 45 unfavorable. Republicans are 42% favorable to 50% unfavorable. 

++By the wild card is that both North Carolina and Wisconsin had their Voter ID laws approved by a judge for this election.
