According to
Pollster.com, in order to gain control of the Senate, the Democrats must win two of the three “toss-up” states:
Missouri,
Virginia and
Tennessee.
The
Missouri race, between Republican Senator Jim Talent and Democrat Claire McCaskill, is interesting because the results of the
Missouri polls cited in the
Election Scorecard are affected by the St. Louis Cardinals’ participation in the World Series.
While hype in
Missouri surrounding the World Series may decrease poll participation, the polls may also be affected by a
televsion commercial aired during the World Series featuring Michael J. Fox promoting stem cell research which has drawn fire from conservatives such as
Rush Limbaugh and spawned response commercials.
