Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., trails retired astronaut Mark Kelly by 17 points in a new Fox News poll that had plenty of bad news for Republicans up for re-election in November.

The poll shows that the formerly red state continues to shift away from Republicans. Trump beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by just under four points in Arizona in 2016 but Mitt Romney carried the state by 11 points in 2012. Sinema became the first Arizona Democrat elected to the Senate in 30 years in 2018. Even Republicans are now worried that Trump and McSally are so unpopular it may cost them the state legislature for the first time in 50 years.

Biden leads Trump 50% to 46% in North Carolina, according to the survey, where voters prefer the Democrat to handle the coronavirus, by a nine-point margin. The poll also found Democrat Cal Cunningham leading incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., 48% to 42%, among likely voters. Trump carried North Carolina by less than four points in 2016.

Biden also leads Trump by 50% to 42% in Wisconsin, one of the key states that tipped the election to Trump in 2016. Voters in the Badger State prefer Biden to handle the pandemic by a whopping 17 points. Trump carried the state by just 23,000 votes in 2016, winning about 47% of the vote. The Fox poll found that his approval rating in the state is down to 45% while 54% of the state disapproves of his job performance.

7. Absentee Ballots Are in the Mail

In NC. They started going out on Friday and I’m waiting for mine to arrive.

A record 639,000 ballot requests have been received by the state so far this year (compared to under 60k for 2016). Almost half of those requested have been by Democrats. Only a third of that number have been by Republicans according to the report I heard on the local NPR station.

8. If they keep airing commercials of Trump saying how he doesn't like his veterans to be captured

Biden will take AZ by 30 pts. It is like pouring salt into a wound here in McCain country. I can't wait to see what the polls will look like in a couple weeks after all this "losers and suckers" fiasco.

11. Agree. I think AZ has the type of voters

that are perfect for Biden (and Harris) - moderate voters who don't like Trumpism.

The state is trending blue and this election cycle may accelerate it.
