New poll: Espy, Hyde-Smith in dead heat, McDaniel within striking distance in Senate race

Last edited Sat Oct 13, 2018, 02:32 PM - Edit history (1)

OK, it's not new anymore (it's from October 2nd), but for some reason Real Clear Politics never listed it. Epsy has a real change to win this (especially is it's between him and McDaniel), and it's being ignored.

I've suffered WAY too many disappointments in the past decade to be anything other than cautiously optimistic, however.

Especially one race they are confident of winning. We might have some surprises that the repukes never expected.

Espy certainly isn't going to get to enough votes to win outright on election day. He would certainly have a better chance of beating McDaniel (which could plausibly be the final pairing)... but Hyde-Smith's supporters would have to end up really angry at McDaniels to not "come home" if control of the Senate is on the line.

There will be a run-off three weeks later between the top to candidates--probably Epsy and Hyde-Smith, Republican.

If the Confederate McDaniel makes it to the runoff, we probably win. He's Roy Moore without the underage girls.
