House Speaker Thom Tillis’ clear victory last night has already had an impact on the race, at least when it comes to a national pollster/consultant. Stuart Rothenberg’s blog now says:

Even though Hagan’s polling numbers have been mediocre at best, we gave her a slight edge in the race because of uncertainty in the Republican primary.

But now that Tillis is the nominee and has avoided a costly July runoff that could have pushed him farther to the right, Hagan does not have a significant advantage in the race.

We are changing our Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call rating of the race from Toss-Up/Tilt Democrat to Pure Toss-Up.

And here we go.

By the way, don’t forget that Kay Hagan and Thom Tillis aren’t the only two candidates on the fall ballot. Libertarian Sean Haugh will join them.
