Title: More vulnerable: Parson or Holcomb?
Post by: Tekken_Guy on June 05, 2019, 03:00:51 PM
Who is more likely to lose re-election? Mike Parson of Missouri or Eric Holcomb of Indiana?

Mike Parson because Holcomb is just incredibly popular (65% approval rate according to a poll I saw on HPI)

But both are safe R and with Trump winning both states in a landslide it’s unlikely that any race will become competitive.

Neither because both are super popular.

Parson, obviously.

Voted Parson, since he'll win by less, but both of them are safe.

Parson, but it would take a lot of things lining up for this to even be close to competitive.

Not that I expect either to lose, but Parson by default. Indianans love Holcomb.

The guy who underperformed Trump by 13, not the guy who underperformed Trump by 8; both while sharing a ballot with Trump.

Parson. Holcomb is a relatively non-controversial figure. However, I don't expect either race to be even within single digits.

Parson, because he could actually lose and MO is a lot more D-friendly down-ballot than IN. Holcomb is safe.

Only if Galloway runs, will Parsons lose

Galloway would lose by double digits.

If Parson is losing, which could require either a scandal or a mega democratic tsunami, dems  are not losing MT

Nicole Galloway isn't McCaskill, and Sununu lost his 15 point lead to Kelly and it went down to 7.

Its possible, not probable and Jason Kander almost beat Blunt without a major scandal, in MO, in an R wave yr 2016

Gov. Mike Parson.

Yes, Missouri is fairly pro-life, but the MO GOP is a bit too extreme.

A Missouri Democrat can make it a bit competitive, but I believe both of them may win reelection.

Good to see the board actually making some reasonable and well-founded analysis here.
