With 100 days to go until the midterm election, unexpectedly strong bids by several Republican candidates and President
Barack Obama's
continued sagging approval ratings are boosting GOP chances of capturing a Senate majority.
A
battery of recent polling shows Republican candidates mounting
competitive bids for at least 10 Senate seats now held by Democrats,
including in Iowa and Colorado, states that have been leaning Democratic
in recent years. Many Republican candidates have narrowed their
opponents' fundraising advantage, according to the latest
campaign-finance reports. And a series of international crises has dealt
the president some of the lowest approval marks of his second term,
weighing on his party's candidates.
