- Republicans are looking at “historic losses” in the upcoming midterm elections, with new polling showing the GOP lagging in eight battleground Senate races, a top strategist has warned.
- With just two months until the elections, Republicans are down 8 points in North Carolina, 7.5 points in Georgia, 2.6 points in Ohio, 2.3 points in Maine, 1.9 points in Texas, and 2 points in Alaska and New Hampshire, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate data for the upcoming Senate races.
- “It points out the obvious that Republicans are in pretty bad shape going into the midterms and that they’re looking at historic losses,” GOP strategist Terry Holt told The New York Post.
- Conservative activists and media personalities are urging the GOP to act with greater urgency to avoid losing majorities in both the House and the Senate.
- Some Republican pollsters dispute the public polling, asserting that private data indicates candidates are in a much better position to win.
