Suddenly, Nearly Anything Is Possible in the Senate Races

Perhaps the presidential debate on Thursday night might make a difference, but if swing voters have hit the mute switch or at least turned down the volume on President Trump, as I think they did after the previous debate, the event is likely to make little difference on the presidential outcome. There was a synchronized drop for many GOP candidates in the days immediately after that debate, suggesting that some of Trump's problems, particularly in the suburbs, have metastasized to other candidates--especially those who are close to their polarizing party leader.
