These are all GOP-held seats, and the Dems lead in 11. The Republican candidate is under 50 percent in all of them, and at 40 or below in 8 of them. The numbers seem a bit optimist here (NM-01), too pessimistic there (IA-01), but overall yet more evidence of serious GOP trouble this November. Remember, these polls just caught the start of the Foley fiasco.
Update: Bowers:
After these polls are added into previous polls, a new tier of House districts is starting to really grow in size: Republican-held districts where Democrats lead outside the margin of error in recent, unconflicted, independent polls. Right now, that category includes AZ-08, CO-07, FL-16, IN-02, IN-08, IN-09, NY-24, OH-18, and PA-10. Throw in TX-22, and that already makes ten seats where current polling would give Democrats a better than a 97.5% chance of a pickup.
