Axios has published polling analysis showing that Republican Senate candidates in key races, “are lagging well behind former President Trump.”
- Axios notes: “The polling gap has baffled Republican candidates and strategists, who expected it to collapse as November neared.
- “Its persistence is a warning for the Republican high command that a close Trump victory in any given swing state doesn't guarantee a GOP Senate seat — even if it also signals a bloc of still-persuadable voters.”
- National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesperson Mike Berg said: "We are already seeing positive movement in our polls, and we expect continued positive movement over the next five weeks.”
- Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson David Bergstein said: "Senate Republicans have a roster of deeply flawed candidates, and their lies, scandals and baggage repel voters of every political persuasion, including many Republicans."
