Polling Memo Shows Republicans Adam Laxalt, Herschel Walker Leading Democrat Opponents in Senate Battlegrounds

Republicans Adam Laxalt and Herschel Walker, who are vying to unseat Democrat incumbents in Nevada and Georgia, respectively, are leading in their races, according to a Republican polling memo sent out on Tuesday and obtained by Breitbart News.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the campaign arm of U.S. Senate Republicans, sent the memo to “interested supporters,” revealing in it that the pair of Republican candidates held narrow leads over Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA) amid President Joe Biden’s dismal approval ratings. NBC News first reported on the memo.

Laxalt, who previously served as Nevada attorney general, had a four-point edge over Cortez Masto, 46 percent to 42 percent, according to the memo. Laxalt’s lead coincided with 39 percent of the poll respondents approving of the way Biden was handling his job and 56 percent disapproving. 29 percent of Nevadans said they believed the country was heading in the right direction.
