Excerpt:
A new rating from the Cook Political Report has shifted the Senate race in battleground Wisconsin from “lean Democrat” to a “toss up,” as incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D.) loses ground to her Republican challenger.
The shift towards the right comes after recent polling from the nonpartisan election forecaster indicated Republican candidate Eric Hovde is gaining on Baldwin. After maintaining a 7-percentage-point lead over her challenger in Cook’s August survey, new polling found Baldwin now only has a 2-percentage-point advantage, 49 percent to 47 percent.
Internal polling from both parties reflected the Cook Political Report’s findings, indicating that this race is within the margin of error, the Cook Political Report said Tuesday.
