Good news, sane Nevadans. Your crazy neighbors don't like Joe Heck any more than you do!
A new Public Policy Polling survey of likely voters in Nevada finds Catherine Cortez Masto with her biggest lead in the race to date. She’s at 43% to 39% for Joe Heck.
Heck’s disavowal of Donald Trump is hurting him in the race. 34% of voters say that makes them less likely to vote for Heck, compared to only 19% who say it makes them more likely to support him. Among Trump voters, 48% say Heck’s statement makes them less likely to vote for him.
You can see the negative impact of Heck’s new stance on Trump in his numbers among Republicans. In our tracking last week Heck was already under performing within his own party, winning only 76-13. This week he’s fallen even further to having just a 70-15 advantage among voters of his own party.
That and all the booing he was on the receiving end of at a "Republican unity rally." Heh. And the Trump campaign is doing everything it can to help.
He's a perfect example of the damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario with dumping Trump. And he deserves to be, considering he's the guy who was fine with Trump having his finger on the nuclear button. Until all those naughty things Trump said about what he likes to do to women. Heck's newfound sensitivity, though, isn't likely to win him many friends.
Can you pitch in with $3 to help Catherine Cortez Masto beat Joe Heck?
