A new poll shows Democratic candidates in the swing states of Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina are far outpacing Vice President Kamala Harris, raising the possibility of split-ticket voting on Election Day.
The surveys released Wednesday by the Cook Political Report showed Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) leading by double digits in their respective Senate races.
Gallego is leading Republican challenger Kari Lake by 13 percentage points, with 54% support to Lake’s 41%. He is up 4 points since the last survey, taken in August.
“He owes that lead to the fact that he’s getting 13% of Republicans and winning independents by 29 points, an eight-point shift in his favor since August,” Amy Walter and Jessica Taylor of the Cook Political Report wrote. “This shift of independents in Gallego’s direction is even more remarkable given that independents have shifted toward Trump by 13 points over that same time frame.”
excerpt:
The poll was conducted Sept. 19-25 among 2,867 likely voters across seven battleground states. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.5 percentage points in Pennsylvania, 4.8 points in Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, and 4.9 points in Arizona and Nevada.
