democratic incumbent mary landrieu faces two republican challengers, congressman tom cassidy and robe your thoughts about it as it's happening, facebook.com/c-span or send us a tweet @c-span. and while the candidates debate in louisiana, here on c-span2, over on c-span we're taking you to the arkansas senate debate tonight between mark pryor and congressman tom cotton. live at 8:00 eastern. here's a look at yesterday's arkansas debate. >> before i go on with my closing statement, i have to go back for just a minute because congressman cotton just told a whopper. when he said that i have voted for every single one of barack obama's taxes, it's not even close. in fact, i voted against every budget that president obama has offered. my real record on taxes is i voted to cut taxes by $5.5 trillion since i've been in the senate. cut taxes by $5.5 trillion, and i'm a big believer in tax reform. we need to simplify the tax code, we need to lower the rates. but this is more of fog of misinformation -- of this fog of misinformation and rhetoric that congressman cotton has gotten so good at doi

right now in arkansas tom cotton's right about the four-point mark right now. now you're at 49. louisiana, bill cassidy, little tricky right now. if bill cassidy is head-to-head with mary landrew. he wins that race right now. >> louisiana will go -- sorry. i don't want to do that. louisiana will go to december, no doubt. >> into the month of december. just so your audience knows, the candidate has to get 50% of the vote, if not you get a runoff. if you get a runoff right now, he wins that. alaska dan sullivan up 4.5 points right now. you're at 51-49. what's everybody talking about on the democratic side? colorado. >> what about kentucky? >> so put kentucky on hold for a second. everybody's focused on greg orman right now and the problems pat roberts is having in kansas. if that goes from red to blue, right now you're back to 50/50. that's a possible scenario. in iowa remember last week we talked about joni ernst. >> she was up four points last week. >> yes. but earlier today it was around two points for joni ernst. say she takes iowa, back to 52-48. i think last week you said -- >> i'm going here. >> 5

cassidy has the lead over mary landrieu. and arkansas where mark pryor now trails tom cotton. do you see all three flipping to republican and what's the best chance for democrats to hold on? >> all three of those are moving in the wrong direction for democrats and all three of them, the democrat incumbents are sitting in the very low 40s or even 40 in mark pryor's case. they're tough. i think probably the best shot is begich in alaska and mayor mary landrieu. if you're democrats, those three are starting to look the wrong way. >> if you have a democratic incumbent senator who's at 42%, 43% -- >> if you're under 50% it's a problem if you're an incumbent. this is a problem that may hurt republicans in other states. in these three states, to be this low, to be this far under 45, is a huge problem. undecideds will stay home or break away from the incumbents in these races. there isn't a race i know of where the undecideds break to the incumbent. >> then what i call the three toss-ups. iowa, where republican state senator joni ernst has a narrow lead over democratic congressman bru

against republican congressman bill cassidy as landrieu struggles with refrlations she improperly charged taxpayers for charter flights. in arkansas republican congressman tom cotton gaining ground in the polls on democratic senator mike pryor. it's time for real talk with allison barber, writer for the washington free beacon. those are three of the really important races, and it's been interesting to watch the polls shift over the last couple of weeks, right, allison? >> right. it really has been. i think you go through and you look at all these different ones, and you see that these candidates have had a consistent lead in almost all of these races. louisiana is a little bit unique because they have an open primary, and when you look at polls where they have three candidates, the tea party candidate as well, landrieu is only a point hfd the field. when you look at potentially for a runoff in december, which most people think will likely happen in louisiana, then landrieu is behind her republican counterpart, bill cassidy, by three and four points. you are seeing a lot of these race, whether it's alaska or arkansas. you're seeing a lot of different polls c

reporter: republicans cory gardner in colorado, bill cassidy in louisiana and joni ernst in iowa are seen as good campaigner. >> thank you so much. >> tom tillis in north carolina stumbled in a debate on the issue of equal pay. most of the 13 states up for grabs are rural and republican leaning. and long-serving democrats in four of them are retiring. >> who is looking out for your kids? >> reporter: president obama's low 42% approval is hurting democratic senate incumbents. kay hagan in north carolina, mark udall in colorado, mark pryor in arkansas, mark begich in alaska. republican incumbent mitch mcconnell is an exception in his own party, the senate gop leader is in a tough kentucky reelection fight with alison lundergan grimes. with early voting under way in many states, turnout is job one. democrats need a big minority turnout. >> it's important to get every single one off their seat and going to the polls. >> reporter: with the election five days away, i'm steve handelsman, nbc news, washington. >>> still ahead here at 6:00, a notorious bay area cold case comes to an end. justice today for a high school girl who never made it hom

louisiana where bill cassidy now has a lead or mary landrieu, and arkansas where democratic senator mar pryor now trails republican congressman tomton. joe, do you see all at least of those flipping to republicans? what's the best chance for democrats to hold on? >> all three of those are moving in the wrong direction. in all three. they're sitting in the low 40s, or even 40 in mark pryor's case. look, thee tough. i think the best shot is bag itch, maybe mary landrieu. >> just to follow up quickly. if you have a democratic incumbent senator who's at 42%, 43% -- >> look, if you're under 50, it's a problem. this is a problem that may hurt republicans in other states, but to be this far under 45 is a huge problem. undecideds are either going to stay home or break away from the incumbents in these races. there isn't a race i know of where the under decideds break to the incumbent. they've already made their decision. >> there are what i would call the three to theups, iowa where joany ernst has a narrow lead over democratic congressman bruce braillie, this is an open seat. karl, it's awfully close. why do you think it's going to go g

tom up seven. alaska's up four. georgia's david did your do you up three. iowa's up two. kansas' pat roberts up five. mitch mcconnell up by 4 percent. bill cassidyp 6 percent. south dakota mike rounds despite controversy and a three way contest, up 3 percent. and there's more evidence that republicans are about to strengthen their majority in the house. house democrats are reportedly pulling ad money from congressional races where they deem it not to be hopeless, but little hope. democrats have distanced themselves from nancy pelosi as well as the president. joining us now democratic strategist marian march. political editor steven. good to have you with us. mary ann the democrats polling early that money from 11 congressional districts, a sign of bad times? >> well, i don't think it's probably the democrats are going to lose seats in the house. that's been true for months and months and months. that's been true for a long time. they want to minimize their losses. >> since no one should be surprised, why did they split the money to begin with? >> there were some competitive races where someone republicans looked vulnerable. it was a matter of ma

tom cotton has a slight edge. and louisiana senator mary landrieu is down by six points to republican bill cassidy. there we're seeing a fight there for senator landrieu's life. the comeback kid though, as you mentioned is looking to help democrats in his home state. former president bill clinton returned to arkansas to headline rallies for democratic senator mark pryor. and gubernatorial campaign mark ross his former driver. he urged them to reject the republican efforts to make the elections about president obama. >> thank you. you cannot afford to do what their opponents want. they want you to make it a protest vote. all three of these races they're saying you may like these guys, but you know what you have to do. you have to vote against the president. i promise your last shot. it's a pretty good scam, isn't it? i may wander and groan, but i may never be far from home. you're in my heart and you'll always be arkansas, you run deep in me. vote your heart. don't vote for what they tell you you have to be against. vote for what you know you should be for. vote for mark pryor. vote for mike ross. v
