Great News in Nevada Senate race (Cortez Masto +7%)

[yankee87]

In Nevada, incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto leads her Republican opponent, Adam Laxalt, by seven percentage points (45%-38%), according to a new poll conducted by Suffolk University and the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Cortez Masto's latest polling numbers are a significant voter swing in her favor. In April, in a hypothetical matchup prior to winning the Nevada Republican primary, Laxalt led Cortez Masto by 3 percentage points (43%-40%) according to a previous poll also conducted by Suffolk University and the Reno Gazette-Journal.

1. Great news.

[yankee87]

3. Still Early

i realize it's still early, but the winds seem to be at our backs. I'm getting more hopeful daily.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

5. Absolutely.

And we need to run as if we are behind, but (as you say) the wind does seem to be at our back.

12. I predict a blue wave we keep

b oth houses of Congress.

13. I'd like the Blue Wave to be a Tidal Wave

With 60+ Democrat Senators.

17. Me too!!!!

2. Great news!

I was kinda worried about this race.

4. I am cautiously optimistic about this fall

The Republicans seem to have given us two gifts: the repeal of Roe v Wade, and the nonstop stories of Trump's crimes, both with the January 6 committee and the FBI search of Mar-a-lago.

The Republican "message" about inflation and Biden's "unpopularity" can't seem to penetrate with those 2 things staring them in the face.

6. I am optimistic about the Senate

Worried about the House

[Deuce]

7. Yes...

[unblock]

8. Predictit says we're 61% for the senate, 24% for the house

The president's party losing seats in the house in the first midterm of a presidency is normal, but picking up seats in the senate seems odd.

But hey.

Gerrymandering.

[wryter2000]

9. I don't see many of our Senators in trouble

But thanks to Trump, we can pick up seats.

[unblock]

10. What's weird is that the house was meant to be more responsive to the will of the people

It's supposedly the more democratic institution. But we're gaining in the generic poll but losing in the actual house race projections by a wide margin

11. All about Roe

I think Roe has changed the election. I actually believe we will pick up seats in the House.

14. Why was/is this race close?

Has Cortez-Masto had any stumbles or is this just midterm doldrums (until recently)?

[yankee87]

15. It was close

Prior to Roe and 45 being caught with secrets, it was only a three point race according to her article

[Mad_Machine76]

16. Yeah

I was just wondering why it was close. Nevada has been pretty reliably blue lately.
