WV Senate Race Morrisey Closing The Gap (Down 45-40) in MetroNews Poll.

I think that this is the one state that Trump could have won for the GOP himself, since it's basically ground zero for his cult. I can't understand why Morrissey and the GOP don't have ads with Trump personally bashing Manchin running 24/7 in WV-03. I think it's too late for a "Trump surge" that others have predicted, and Manchin will pull off a 4-6 point win, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him win by a little more or a little less. It would surprise if Morrissey won at this point.

I'd be kind of worried if I were Manchin. Also, we haven't had any high quality polling for this race in a while.

This is the key. We haven't had a high quality poll of this race since June. June! The only thing there is to go by is the junk polls, both of which show Morrisey making up ground from their previous iterations.

But if someone took the time to poll WV we might have lost out on one of those 45 TX polls each showing the same thing.
