Powerline has details of a poll by Zogby (yeah, it is Zogby, but still) that puts Huckabee two points ahead of McCain.

Worse, Taegan Goddard has details of a poll that says that if McCain's senate seat were up today, and AZ Gov. Janet Napolitano ran against him, she'd win. More evidence of how badly the GOP's brand has been tarnished out West, or just evidence of how badly McCain has alienated a variety of voters in relation to immigration and the war?

My guess is, a bit of both.

Sen. Gordon Smith remains one of my favorite senators, even though I'm far from wild about his views on things like SCHIP. In any event, as such, this is encouraging:

A new Riley Research poll in Oregon shows Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) leading challenger Jeff Merkley (D), 38% to 19% with 35% still undecided.

Provided that is that Smith can get a decent proportion of the undecideds to decide he's their guy...
