Biden opens 9-point lead over Trump in Senate battlegrounds: poll

Former Vice President Joe Biden has opened up a 9-point lead over President Trump in six states where Republican senators face difficult reelection battles this fall, according to a new poll.

The survey from Hart Research Associates finds Biden at 50 percent and Trump at 41 percent among voters sampled in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Montana and North Carolina.

Trump won four of those states in 2016, with the exception of Maine and Colorado. All six states feature vulnerable GOP incumbents: Sens. Marth McSally (Ariz.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Joni Ernst (Iowa), Susan Collins (Maine), Steve Daines (Mont.) and Thom Tillis (N.C.).

The poll found the Democratic challengers leading the Republican incumbents by a margin of 46 to 41. Republicans currently hold 53 seats in the Senate, meaning Democrats need to flip four to win back a majority.

They have lost the election among every demographic except for the extremists. It’s an all out effort to keep them enraged while bludgeoning everyone else by any and every means possible

That's my prediction for November. Biden reclaims the blue firewall and takes Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina. The remaining two percent go to third party dickwads.

Dems either win the Senate or end up with a tie. I sincerely hope it's the former.

With a Biden victory, a Senate tie would still give us Senate control because Biden’s VP would break the tie in our favor.
