Democratic senatorial candidates have outpaced President Biden in four key battleground states and are ahead of their Republican rivals, showing hope for the party as Biden remains in a close race for the White House.
new york times poll Democratic candidates are leading in four states expected to be close in the presidential election: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona. The paper reported that Trump leads Biden in three of the four states, with Biden holding a slight lead in Wisconsin.
According to polls, Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pennsylvania) has a 5-point lead over Republican rival Dave McCormick, with an approval rating of 46%, and former President Trump’s lead in the state. It was also revealed that he has a 3 point lead over Biden.
In Wisconsin, Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin has a 9-point lead over businessman Eric Hovde, while Biden leads Trump by 2 points.
Despite Biden’s worse performance in those states, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada) has a 2-point lead over his Republican opponent and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) State) also has a 4 point lead.
Exactly half of Nevada voters supported Mr. Trump when asked which side they took between the two candidates, giving the former president a 12-point lead. In Arizona, Mr. Trump’s approval rating was 49%, giving him a 7-point lead over Mr. Biden.
If the president is re-elected, Democrats can maintain their 50-seat majority in the Senate by just losing one incumbent seat. The seat of retiring Sen. Joe Manchin (D-Virginia) is likely to go to the Republicans.
Battleground polls do not track Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, where the Republican candidate has yet to be decided, nor do key races in Ohio and Montana.
The latter two races could be key to the Senate race this fall, with Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) running in heavily Republican states. . Democrats will almost certainly need to win both elections to maintain their Senate majority.
In the four states surveyed, Democratic senatorial candidates consistently led Biden in support.
The Senate nominee fared particularly well with Latino and Black voters when compared to Biden. According to the survey, Mr. Trump has the support of about 42% of all Latino voters, while the support rate of Republican Senate candidates is only about 29%.
Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump are virtually tied for the entire presidential race, according to an average of national polls from The Hill/Decision Desk.
The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College poll surveyed about 4,100 registered voters from late April to early May. The overall margin of error is about 1.8 percentage points, with specific state errors ranging from 3.6 to 4.6 percentage points.
