“A billion-dollar war chest was meant to be Republicans’ great equalizer heading into a bleak midterm election environment defined by economic frustration, President Donald Trump’s unpopularity and fallout from the war in Iran,” CNBC reports.

“So far it hasn’t worked.”

“From Labor Day through Oct 14. GOP groups injected more than $740 million into congressional races that will determine control of Congress…”

“Yet with less than three weeks until the Nov. 3 Election Day, the spending blitz has barely moved the map. Democrats lead in FiftyPlusOne’s polling averages across nine of the Senate’s most competitive races – Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas – little changed from before the Republican spending spree.”
