While President Biden is facing trouble in battleground states, Republican hopes of flipping the Senate are facing a major roadblock, a new series of polls have revealed.
Democrats hold a major advantage in four of this year's crucial battleground Senate races, but President Biden isn't getting that same good news, according to a series of New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College polls released early Monday.
The races in Arizona and Nevada show a closer margin, with likely Democratic nominee Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake 45%-41%, and incumbent Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen leading Republican Sam Brown 40%-38%, respectively. The poll did not include Brown's primary challenger, former U.S. Ambassador to Iceland Dr. Jeffrey Gunter, who is expected to pose a formidable challenge for the GOP nomination.
Trump and Biden tie in Wisconsin at 38% with Kennedy at 9%, and Trump's lead in Pennsylvania grows by four points, 40%-36%, with Kennedy at 10%. Biden also trails Trump in Georgia, 39%-31%, with Kennedy at 9%, and in Michigan, 38%-36%, with Kennedy also at 9%. Minority groups that have traditionally supported Democrats appear to be trending away from Biden and toward either Trump or Kennedy.
Biden still holds a significant advantage with Black voters in the same states with 49% support, but 14% say they are backing Trump and 11% Kennedy. Just 36% of voters in battleground states say they approve of the job Biden is doing as president, with 60% disapproving. Trump also edges Biden when it comes to favorability – 45% say they view the former president favorably and 53% unfavorably. Just 40% say they view Biden favorably, with 59% viewing him unfavorably.
Senate races in Montana, Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan and Maryland are also expected to be pickup opportunities for Republicans in November. Considering the Democrats' one-seat margin in the Senate, Republicans just need to win two of the races and hold their other seats up for re-election in order to win control of the chamber.
