As we now move past the halfway point in 2011, we get a surprisingly data-heavy week for the early summer months, especially in an off year. Multiple states get looked at this week, including some surprising presidential numbers in Texas and Alaska, two states that are classically considered to be "red states."
We also got our latest look at the recall effort in the Wisconsin state Senate, as Daily Kos asked our polling partners at PPP to take a look at where races stood in three recalls of Republican officeholders. The news, on balance, is pretty darned good.
And, as always, there is much, much more:
- Democrats have to be pleasantly surprised about where they stand in a trio of high-profile open-seat Senate races, and one equally important open-seat Gubernatorial race. Just for funsies, one decidedly low-profile House race gets polled, as well.
- Is Michele Bachmann really on the move? A couple of pollsters confirm it, at least to some extent.
- We get updates in the money chase for two 2011 races, and both provide good news for the Democrats.
All this (and more!) as we stock up on the burgers and the fireworks in this holiday weekend edition of the digest.
