Internal Poll Shows Blankenship Ahead In West Virginia

A GOP source familiar with the internal polling in the West Virginia U.S. Senate race tells Jonathan Swan:

“At the beginning of last week, the internals showed a 2-man race between Jenkins and Morrisey, with Morrisey having a slight edge and Blankenship down in the teens. However, following a week centered on media coverage of Blankenship’s feud with ‘cocaine Mitch’ and a bombardment of attack ads against Jenkins over the airwaves, the same poll now shows Blankenship surging with a slight lead over Morrisey, and Jenkins now down in the teens.”
