Thom Tillis’ stock in the U.S. Senate race is fallingA new Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday shows the House speaker’s support in the Republican primary dropped from 20 percent a month ago to 13 percent in December.
Tillis – the establishment candidate backed by Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner – took 13 percent in a hypothetical match up against his GOP rivals. All five Republican candidates are clumped within 5 points in a poll with a 4.3 percent margin of error, making the race essentially a tie. A plurality – 44 percent – of Republican primary voters are still undecided in the race.
Tillis took 20 percent in the Democratic polling firm’s November survey, finishing six points ahead of his closest challenger, Rev. Mark Harris. But now Harris is one point behind at 12 percent, followed by Heather Grant and Greg Brannon at 11 percent and Bill Flynn at 8 percent.
The change is possibly attributed to two factors: Flynn entered the race since the last poll and further fractures the field and PPP’s survey landed last weekend just as the Senate Majority PAC began airing TV ads boosting Democratic incumbent Kay Hagan and attacking Tillis.
