Democrats Lead In Four Key Senate Races

March 5, 2020 · 8:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

Public Policy Polling surveyed four critical U.S. Senate races and found Democrats leading in them all:

ARIZONA: Mark Kelly (D) leads Sen. Martha McSally (R), 47% to 42%

COLORADO: John Hickenlooper (D) leads Sen. Cory Gardner (R), 51% to 38%.

MAINE: Sara Gideon (D) leads Sen. Susan Collins (R), 47% to 43%

NORTH CAROLINA: Cal Cunningham (D) leads Sen. Thom Tillis (R), 46% to 41%.

Key takeaway: “The Maine result is most interesting. When PPP first polled the Gideon-Collins match up for a private client last spring, Collins led by 18 points at 51% to 33%. The reason for the 22 point shift since then is that in the wake of opposing impeachment, Collins has lost most of the crossover Democratic support she’s relied on for her success over the years.”
