New polling data shows several, unexpected Democrat incumbents in danger.
Newsmax reports:
Anti-Washington sentiment is running near all-time highs, and voters in some key Districts and States are looking to throw incumbents out. With pickups possible in Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin, Republicans have a real chance to push back on the so-called “Blue Wave” and actually expand their Senate majority.
There is surprising news from Maine where State Senator Eric Brakey has intriguing numbers showing that this once sure Democratic State may now be back inserous play.
Maine, which was nearly won by Donald Trump in 2016, has a two-term incumbent Governor, firebrand conservative Paul LePageand a conservative Congressman Bruce Poliquin. Trump lost the State by a mere 3 points and won one of the Electoral College votes for the second district.
The seat is currently held by incumbent Angus King, who is technically an independent but caucuses with the Democrats and has a very partisan Democratic voting record. Add to the mix Democratic Party nominee Zak Ringelstein, a Democratic socialist in the style of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Zak sucks up the far Left votes and King is feeling squeezed.
With King under 50 percent in the polling, Brakey has tremendous room to grow.
