Very Close Mississippi Runoff

A new Chism Strategies poll in Mississippi finds Sen. Thad Cochran (R) barely ahead of challenger Chris McDaniel (R) in the GOP Senate runoff, 48% to 47%.

“Mississippi law allows anyone who didn’t vote in the June 3rd Democratic Primary to vote in the GOP Primary runoff. However, the Cochran plan to expand the electorate with Democrats is a hard lift — the most likely Democratic voters are ineligible to participate in the runoff.”
