Despite unrelenting attacks from President Obama, liberal special interest groups, and the national media, conservative candidates are surging in the polls.
A recent poll from a Democrat pollster (Public Policy Polling) shows Marco Rubio opening up an 8 point lead in Florida over his opponents, including the party switching Charlie Crist, in that three way race.
In Pennsylvania, the latest Rasmussen Poll (8/16) shows Pat Toomey surging to an 8 point lead over his Democrat opponent, Joe Sestak.
In Washington, coming off his primary victory, Dino Rossi was expected to be well behind the entrenched incumbent, liberal Patty Murray. However, the August 19th SurveyUSA poll shows Rossi taking a strong 7 point lead.
Another of our endorsed candidates, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin is also facing an entrenched incumbent in the liberal icon Russ Feingold. In a liberal leaning state, it would be expected that Johnson would be facing the most uphill of battles. However, this race is a dead heat. And, according to the August 24th Rasmussen Poll, Johnson has actually moved to a 1 point lead over Feingold!
In one of the most closely watched races in the country, conservative Sharron Angle is battling tooth-and-nail to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada. And while many polls showed Reid with an early lead, the 8/16 Rasmussen Poll shows Angle taking a 2 point lead among "likely voters."
After winning the neck-and-neck primary against the "establishment" candidate in Colorado, Ken Buck appeared to be trailing in the polls against his liberal Democratic opponent. However, recent Rasmussen and Reuters polls show Buck with a 5 point and 9 point lead, respectively.
In Kentucky, despite Democratic ad hominem attacks and attempts to paint him as an extremist, Rand Paul has maintained a steady lead over his Democrat opponent. In fact, an 8/17 Rasmussen polls show Paul opening a 10 point lead.
And, lastly, in the safest of races for conservatives, conservative Mike Lee will be the next Senator from Utah after pulling out a victory against the establishment's preferred candidates.

All of these races have one thing in common: they feature a conservative candidate with an unwavering commitment to the conservative principles upon which this nation was founded.
And, as you see from the polling data highlighted above, that limited government message is resonating with voters.
Americans are tired of the overspending, the excessive taxation, the government takeovers of private industry, the bailouts, and the use of earmarks to bribe politicians... and they are ready to let their voices be heard on Election Day.
In addition to being knit together by their stand for conservative principles, each of these candidates has also received the full weight of the support of the Senate Conservatives Fund. Through direct contributions, independent expenditure campaigns, and campaign donation bundling efforts, the Senate Conservatives Fund has provided:
- Over $430,000 to Marco Rubio to help him defeat Charlie Crist in the Republican Primary and now defeat him and his Democrat opponent in the general election;
- Over $140,000 in support of Pat Toomey to help return a principled conservative to the Senate from Pennsylvania;
- Over $70,000 in direct financial support to ensure that Dino Rossi has the resources he needs to defeat the liberal Patty Murray;
- Nearly $60,000 to Ron Johnson in his race to unseat Russ Feingold;
- Over $330,000 in support of Sharron Angle to help her fight back against the smear tactics and misinformation being propagated by Harry Reid's campaign;
- Nearly $400,000 to help Ken Buck win the Republican Primary against the establishment choice and to now assist him in his efforts to win the general election against the liberal Michael Bennet;
- Over $70,000 to Rand Paul to help him become the next Senator from Kentucky; and
- Over $220,000 to help Mike Lee win the Republican Primary and become a sure bet to be the next Senator from Utah.
