WOKE REPORT: Senate Democrats would lose FIVE seats in Trump states based on new polling!

Axios has a new poll out suggesting that if the elections were held today, five Democrats would lose their Senate seats in states that Trump won.

Here are the states in order of awesomeness:










Now of course some of these states don’t yet have named Republican challengers and that could change everything. Also the election is about 9 months away, so a lot can happen between now and then. So to be sure nothing is set in stone.

But it does tell us that Democrats should be very worried about losing seats in the coming November elections:

Why it matters: Democrats are defending 10 Senate seats in states that President Trump won in 2016. In six of those states, Trump’s approval is higher than 50% (compared to 43% nationally). These numbers underscore how hard it will be for Democrats to pick up the two seats needed to win the majority despite Trump’s troubles.

The most vulnerable senators are Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Jon Tester in Montana and Claire McCaskill in Missouri. Each of their approval ratings is either under 50% or just above it, while Trump’s is well above that in all three states.

The least vulnerable senators are Bill Nelson of Florida, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, and Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Trump’s approval is at just 46% in Florida and Pennsylvania and 54% in Ohio.
