Democrats Lead Insider Polls in Six of Eight Crucial Senate Races

"Democratic polling numbers are simply extraordinary. We need to win six Republican held seats to take back the Senate and we have a real chance to win as many as eight," wrote Sen. Chuck Schumer, Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee over this past weekend in an insider status report.
"We are leading in six of these races and within striking distance in two others. I can assure you that we will not let these Republicans up for air for even a second between now and November. "
With 22 days left to the crucial November 7 mid-term elections, current DSCC internal polling results for the 8 hotly contested Senate races referred to by Senator Schumer are:
Missouri: Claire McCaskill (D): 48%
Jim Talent (R): 43%
Rhode Island:Sheldon Whitehouse (D): 49%
Lincoln Chafee (R): 39%
Tennessee:Bob Corker (R): 45%
Harold Ford, Jr. (D): 50%
Ohio:Sherrod Brown (D): 49%
Mike DeWine (R): 41%
Virginia:Jim Webb (D): 45%
George Allen (R): 48%
Pennsylvania:Bob Casey (D): 48%
Rick Santorum (R): 36%
Montana:Jon Tester (D): 47%
Conrad Burns (R): 40%
Arizona:Jon Kyl (R): 40%
Jim Pederson (D): 34%
