With Election Day drawing closer by the hour, a new internal poll conducted by a group allied with the Republican Party has some bad news for former president Donald Trump and the GOP.
A copy of the poll was obtained by Politico, according to Newsweek, and shows the presidential race, along with several key Senate battles, trending to Democrats.
A memo containing the poll was circulated by the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with the Republican Party.
“The memo … included polling where Trump trailed Vice President Kamala Harris by 3 points in Michigan and by 1 point in Pennsylvania. The candidates were tied in Nevada and Arizona, while Trump led in Wisconsin by 1 point.”
In the Senate polls, incumbent Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey has a 2-point lead over Republican challenger Dave McCormick while Trump trails Vice President Kamala Harris 48 to 49 percent.
Michigan is also a key Senate race, and Rep. Elisa Slotkin (D) is shown with a massive 8-point advantage over Republican Mike Rogers, who has seen his numbers decline drastically in recent months. Slotkin currently leads 46 to 38 percent and appears to be solidifying her support as voters begin going to the polls for early voting.
Additionally, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is in the fight of his life, with a razor-thin one percent lead over Democratic challenger, Rep. Colin Allred. That could mean that the Lone Star State is also in play and might tip to VP Harris if turnout is high in key Democratic areas such as Austin and Houston.
One thing is certain: Even Republicans can see that their candidates are not doing well, and there’s very little time remaining to make up ground.
