Just a boatload of new Senate polls from AARP done by a mix of Democratic and GOP firms, showing tight races up and down the ticket.

(In Georgia's special, Loeffler is at 24%, Collins is at 20%, Warnock is at 19%, and Lieberman is at 10%)
What I take away from this is just how many nailbiters there might be on election night. This is 9 races all within 5 points! (And it doesn't include KS, SC, AK, TX, which could also be close)

For comparison, in 2018 there were 6 races decided ≤5 (FL, AZ, TX, WV, MT, NV).
In 2016, there were 5 races decided by 5 points or less (NH, PA, NV, MO, WI)
In 2014 there were 5 (VA, NC, CO, AK, NH)
In 2012 there were 4 (ND, NV, AZ, MT)
In 2010 there were 6 (IL, CO, PA, AK, WA, WI)
In 2008 there were 4 (MI, AK, OR, GA)
In 2006 there were 4 (VA, MT, MO, TN)
These aren't just polls of voters over 50. If you click through the links, they break out the subsamples of voters over 50, but the topline number is all likely voters. So in Montana Bullock leads voters 50+ by 1 point, but trails overall by 3 points.

12 Jul
New poll of TEXAS from UT Tyler/ Dallas Morning News:

TRUMP 43
BIDEN 48

Dem Senate Primary
Hegar 35
West 22
Undecided 32

(June 29-July 7, 1,677 LVs, bilingual mixed mode, MoE 3.4%)

Largest Texas Biden lead I’ve seen so far.

In the Senate, Cornyn leads Hegar by 13, 42-29, and West by 15, 43-28. But it's not all rosy for him.

He's not overperforming Trump at all; they're both at 43. If Biden is really winning Texas, Cornyn will need to overperform Trump to pull this one out.
Meanwhile, Hegar and West's numbers suffer from lack of Dem consolidation. They get just 62% and 55% of Democratic support, respectively. Expect that number to rise significantly after the primary is over. Hegar also ties Cornyn support among independents, a good sign for her.
