Heller has an uphill battle no doubt but I find the glee from red avatars over a democratic poll showing Heller within the margin of error to be hilarious. The fact that Heller is that close despite his horrible approvals shows he has room to grow as he brings republicans back into the fold. People seem to forget that Trump only lost the state by 2% in 2016 and the Democratic base in Nevada typically doesn't turn out in great numbers in midterms
Yeah, like when Harry Reid got blanched in 2010 because the base didn't turn out.
Oh wait, he overperformed polls by 7% LOL... and basically every other democrat besides Masto was underestimated by 4%+ in Nevada because Nevada polls suck.
Also, challengers generally start to do better later on because they start out with low name ID. No one in Nevada knows who Jacky Rosen is besides the constituents she briefly represented. Once her name ID goes up, she will probably be doing better. Same with GOP challenges in WV like Evan Jenkins.
