I'm kind of baffled by this.

Its a close race, seems to me Buldoc (a warmongering RINO shill) is perfectly aligned with the can do attitude of Mitch McConnel.

My only thinking is that they are confident that the Gabbard nod and and Jerry Kaufman campaign will be enough to split the right-voting block.

RCP polling average has Hassan up by 5.4% and Republican internal polling may show a wider gap. So, the PAC is deploying these funds to places like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona…all of which are closer Senate races (according to polling) than NH.

I saw a poll this morning showing that the difference is 2% at 49% to 47%. I have to question spending huge amounts of ad money at this late stage anyways as you are generally just annoying people.

It was probably the AARP poll which is only people over 50 and isn’t realty super beneficial.

RCP has her up 5.4 and gaining

It's a B/C poll. 600 Likely Voters, by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates so I'd take it with a grain of salt but it's the only really recent poll. It was also sponsored by Buldoc.

YeaaH. Seems a bit outlandish he closed the gap that much in a short period of time haha

polls can be made to say whatever we want - and in recent years they've been used strategically to try and push fence-sitters and the cynical into either not voting or switching.

2016 showed that in spades.

Yea, there's a reason they flag polls as being sponsored by a candidate. You'd want to keep your sponsor happy by giving them good numbers, and by giving them something they can toss to the media and say "Look, we're not losing too badly!"

Interesting, everything I read had it a bit narrower or at least framed it as narrower.

I also for some reason read that as RCMP and was like "the fuck canada got to do with this"

You only think it's a close race because of the media. Last time was a close race. Candidates do matter.
