Our new GA poll finds Jon Ossoff leading David Perdue 47-44, with Libertarian Shane Hazel at 3. Ossoff was up 44-43 on our previous poll.

Since then Perdue's approval has dropped from 41/46 to 39/49 in the wake of his racist comments about Kamala Harris:

publicpolicypolling.com/polls/georgia-… If you extrapolate the undecideds for Senate based on their vote for President you get:

Ossoff 49.9
Perdue 47
Hazel 3.1

Of course polls can't really be that precise, but that shows how close this one might be to the runoff line:

Last week Donald Trump said Joe Biden abandoned Scranton.

So we did polls of Scranton and Queens to see how the candidates' childhood homes feel about them....

publicpolicypolling.com/polls/scranton… 62% of Scrantonians are proud that Joe Biden is from there, to only 20% who are ashamed.

But in Queens 70% are ashamed that Donald Trump is from there, to only 17% who are proud:

Our new North Carolina Senate poll finds Cal Cunningham ahead 47-39 and really shows Thom Tillis' base trouble: publicpolicypolling.com/polls/tillis-s… Cunningham's net favorability (+15 at 35/20) is 31 points better than Tillis' (-16 at 28/44).

The big problem for Tillis is that he's at only 49% fav even w/ Trump voters.

Similar lack of enthusiasm from Trumpers cost Kelly Ayotte and Joe Heck in 2016: publicpolicypolling.com/polls/tillis-s…

We did polls in a couple of Bernie Sanders' best remaining states from 2016 to see his path ahead.

In Wisconsin, which he won by 14 last time, it's Biden 55 Sanders 39.

In Kansas, which he won by 36 last time (as a caucus), it's Biden 59 Sanders 35.

In Wisconsin he has a 61-33 lead with women and a 81-13 lead with seniors.

In Kansas he has a 64-29 lead with women and a 81-12 lead with seniors:

Our new poll with @ProtectOurCare finds that voters are very concerned with the virus despite Trump’s flippancy and that it’s hurting his political standing: protectourcare.org/wp-content/upl… 72% are concerned about the effect of the virus on the economy, including 36% ‘very concerned’

57% are concerned about themselves or someone in their family getting sick, including 24% ‘very concerned’

Poll was done mostly Monday, that would likely be higher now

Our new polls in Maine and Arizona find Sara Gideon leading Susan Collins 47-43 and Mark Kelly leading Martha McSally 47-42.

That now means our most recent polls in 4 GOP held Senate seats have found at least a 4 point Democratic lead:

publicpolicypolling.com/polls/democrat… We also had a private poll last week that found Cal Cunningham leading Thom Tillis 46-41, and our most recent Colorado poll found John Hickenlooper leading Cory Gardner 51-38:

We did some general election polling in Arizona and Iowa and found that the only thing keeping Trump from being in terrible shape is disunity among the voters who don't like him: publicpolicypolling.com/polls/democrat… In AZ Trump is tied with Biden, up 1 on Sanders, 2 on Warren, and 3 on Buttigieg. Not great numbers in a state he won by 4. But when you look at undecideds in each match more than 80% disapprove of Trump, and they voted for Clinton by at least 45 points: publicpolicypolling.com/polls/democrat…

The Midwest gets most of the attention but there's a real path to Democratic victory in the South next year too. We find Donald Trump trails a generic Democrat 50-46 in Georgia and 49-44 in North Carolina. Last month we found him down 51-44 in Florida:

publicpolicypolling.com/polls/the-sout… Trump's under water on his approval in North Carolina (46/48), Georgia (45/49), and Florida (45/50), all states he won in 2016: publicpolicypolling.com/polls/the-sout…

Our new national poll finds:

-Barr letter didn't change anyone's mind about Trump and Russia.

-Voters care a lot more about health care and the GOP tax plan anyway.

-Republicans are in bad shape on both those issues.

publicpolicypolling.com/polls/opinions… 49% of voters think Trump committed obstruction of justice, 40% don't think he did.

When we asked about that in June 2017, 49% thought Trump committed obstruction of justice, 41% thought he didn't:

Harris 48 Trump 41
O'Rourke 47 Trump 41
Warren 48 Trump 42

Worth noting besides Pittenger losing in NC-9...there were 10,000 more Democratic than Republican votes in the primary, another marker of Democratic enthusiasm 2 weeks ago we found that Republicans only had a 46-44 generic ballot lead in that district. Looking like an even better Democratic opportunity now without having to run against an incumbent, and with primary vote turnout confirming a Democratic edge in engagement this year
