Nevada: Trending Laxalt: The latest CBS News/YouGov poll (10/14-19; 1,057 NV likely general election voters; online panels) finds former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt (R) regaining a one point lead, 49-48%, over Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D) in the race now featured as the most likely Democratic seat that potentially flips to the GOP. The CBS/YouGov poll marks the eighth of the most recent nine polls projecting Mr. Laxalt to a small lead. Considering there is likely a Republican undercount, chances are good that Mr. Laxalt’s edge is slightly larger.
The YouGov pollsters also tested the state’s tight Governor’s race. There, Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) and Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo (R) are tied at 48%. Nevada becomes a critical state in determining the Senate majority along with deciding a key Governor’s race. The state also features three lean Democratic seats in Las Vegas, all of which are competitive and each has some chance of flipping to the GOP, as well. North Carolina: Budd’s Breathing Room: The new Trafalgar Group poll is following the East Carolina University survey that projected breathing room for US Rep. Ted Budd (R-Advance) in his open seat Senate race against former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley (D). The Trafalgar data (10/16-19; 1,081 NC likely general election voters; multiple sampling techniques) gives Mr. Budd a 48-44% lead over Ms. Beasley. A few days earlier, the ECU data projected a 50-44% Budd margin. Until these pollsters detected a swing toward Mr. Budd, the two candidates had been tied or separated by one percentage point in the last six consecutive polls from six unique pollsters. Though the race is still rated a toss-up, a break toward Mr. Budd could be forming. Comments are closed.
