This is probably a pretty solid Republican hold, but I have not seen any polling since before the 11/6 election. I donated some money to Mike Espy, but I would give more if I thought he had a chance.

IMO, that is a far superior number than 538's version. Nate's model has been overly friendly to senate Democrats this year. He was at 34% toward control when other mathematical models were at 18%.
Like Texas, simply too many conservatives in Mississippi.

(94,950 posts)Espy remains the underdog in the conservative state, but Republicans with access to private polling say Hyde-Smiths lead has narrowed significantly in recent days. Republicans need only to look to next-door Alabama, where Democrat Doug Jones pulled out a surprise win last year, to stoke concern.
