Republicans in the former Democrat state of Nevada hold five-point leads in the state’s U.S. Senate and governor races.
Rasmussen Reports, one of the most accurate pollsters of the last 20 years, shows incumbent Gov. Gene Sisolak trailing Republican challenger Joe Lombardo by five points, 42 to 47 percent.
In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto is also down five points to Adam Laxalt, 43 to 48 percent.
In the RealClearPolitics poll of polls, Laxalt has held a stubborn but steady lead over Masto for five weeks. The poll of polls average has him up 1.2 points. RealClearPolitics also projects the GOP will win this seat.
In the governor’s race, the RealClearPolitics poll of polls has shown Republican Lombardo with a steady lead for weeks. The poll of polls average has Lombardo up 1.8 percent. RealClearPolitics projects the GOP will win this race.
Another poll of Nevada’s U.S. Senate race shows the Republican Laxalt surging. Last month Laxalt was down three points in a Club for Growth survey. He is now up two points in that same poll. That’s a five-point jump.
Even the far-left Politico, a propaganda site for the Democrat party, calls the Club for Growth Nevada poll a “bad sign for Democrats in critical Nevada Senate race.”
“The bump for Laxalt represents a swing toward Republicans as concerns about the economy loom large in contrast with a Democratic summer boost in momentum over abortion rights,” the far-left Politico adds.
“Independent voters appear to be breaking with the GOP as the Nov. 8 election nears.”
Overall, In the RealClearPolitics U.S. Senate projection, Republicans are looking at a net of three pickups (Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona), which will give the GOP a 53 to 47-seat majority. New Hampshire could be the fourth pickup as that race continues to tighten.
RealClearPolitics projects the GOP will net a gain of five governor’s races (Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada, Michigan, and Kansas). This will give the GOP 31 governors, compared to the Democrat party’s 19. New York could be another potential upset where Republican Lee Zeldin is quickly gaining on incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul. Minnesota is already looking like an upset as incumbent Democrat Tim Walz is slipping to Republican challenger Scott Jensen. The most recent polling shows Jensen with a slim half-point lead. The race is also closing in Illinois.
As Americans begin to make up their minds, the momentum is all with the Republicans. With the economy in shambles; violent crime exploding; the southern border wide open; and Democrats targeting children with gay porn, sex change operations, and drag queens, look for that momentum to increase.
A reckoning is coming.
