Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto leads her Republican opponent in the race for Nevada senate where voters say inflation and the economy is the most important issue, according to a new poll.

The new Suffolk University/Reno Gazette Journal poll revealed that Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., holds a seven-point lead over her Trump-endorsed opponent Adam Laxalt, 45% to 38%. Twelve percent of likely voters remain undecided in the heated Senate race.

According to the poll, 34% of Nevadans believe inflation and the economy are the most important issues in the state, trumping abortion and climate change as the leading priority going into the midterms. A whopping 74% of likely voters gave the current economic climate a fair or poor rating.

And I saw another poll said that he was leading... 🖕🖕 Fox news. Plus, Over half of midterm voters said their view on abortion will impact their decision at the polls.

If that's true then our country is done.

Only if we adopt a defeatist attitude and curl up and die. I’m not ready to do that.

Meaningless stat. My views on abortion impact my decision at the polls, but not in any way that's bad for pro-life Republicans. I say force the Democrats to run on unlimited killing and dismembering of babies.

why do you assume voters are only influenced by probl abortion views? I’m sure most pro life voters consider it a very important issue.

Fox News polls always skew liberal. And yes there is a poll showing Laxalt leading.

These stories seem to always want to say “Trump endorsed candidate is losing”.

They are trying to alienate the republican candidates from people who don’t like Trump.

Baris talks about the history of Fox News polls rooting for the Democrats, including showing Claire McCaskill beating Hawley. A joke.

It’s not a FoxNews poll. It’s Suffolk, which is worse.

How is this a "must win" ?

Laxalt's opponent is the incumbent, the Governor is a Democrat, along with the other Senator and all but one of the other Federal office holders.

Nevada has been infested with Californians for quite some time, it will never be a Republican stronghold without an 1860's style intervention ...

Not only is Cheating In The 2020 U.S. General Election not resolved, but, also, Dumb Voters/Ignorant Voters end up voting in large numbers! All of the politically blue areas of the U.S. and U.S. territories are full of Dumb Voters/Ignorant Voters, and many of such areas have been from day one of their existence! All of the problems throughout all U.S. cities, and the supermajority of city voters continue to vote for more of the same problems to continue and, even, to get worse!

The economy and inflation are overwhelmingly the most important issues, but they are going to re-elect one of the Democrat Senators responsible for a crappy economy and the highest inflation in decades. I see a disconnect.

We just moved from Reno (semi-retirement) back to MI, we’re glad to be out of that hellhole. In the two years+ we were there we saw the Kalifornia stampede first hand, drove us out. There were CA plates here and there but when the Kovid Krap started it was like an invasion.

People were buying anything from shacks (a teardown anywhere else) to really high-homes to avoid paying CA state income tax as they ‘worked from home’ driving the home price to a bizarre level untouchable for most people. Soon the homeless druggies followed with sometimes 6 or more on the same corner with their little cardboard signs begging, it was awful. To be sure it became an annex of CA and will always be from here on in, there no turning it around.

With a well-known name like Laxalt, it would be a pity if Adam lost, and a sign that perhaps Nevada has finally become a solid blue state.
