The American Research Group released a poll today showing that the Vermont Senate race is getting marginally tighter, the US House race is neck and neck and the gubernatorial race is getting almost embarrassing for Democrat Scudder Parker.
In the US Senate race between independent socialist Bernie Sanders (who won the Democratic nomination with 86% and turned it down today to run as an independent) and Republican Rich Tarrant, Sanders leads Tarrant by 11 points 55 to 44 with only 4 percent undecided. Tarrant has made gains but still faces an uphill battle in his attempt to win the Senate seat. The National Republican party has written off Tarrant.
In the US House race, Democrat Peter Welch and Republican Martha Rainville are going toe to toe in the race to replace Sanders in the House of Representatives. Welch leads Rainville 48 to 45 percent.
In the gubernatorial race, Republican Gov. Jim Douglas has enlarged his lead over Democratic nominee Scudder Parker. Douglas had a seemingly insurmountable 59-32 percent lead.
