Not terrific for Masto, but I’d still definitely rather be her than Laxalt, especially looking at Trump’s favorability.

Not saying much. I think anyone on this forum would rather be a sitting US senator rather than be a peddler of the Big Lie and a Trumpist.

Let's not forget that Laxalt was a Big Lie peddler. This may be another election where reminding voters of that could be a good approach.

This poll is dated. If Biden were still at 53% approval in Nevada, then Masto would probably be fine, but for now I doubt that's the case. The fate of three Democratic Senators will be tied more or less directly with Biden's standing in 2022, Masto obviously being one and Hassan and Kelly being the other two, in my opinion. If Biden can claw his way back up to being more or less even in these Senators' respective states, then I expect all three to win, even if quite narrowly. If the attitude towards Democrats remains where it is now, then I'd expect all three to lose. Masto is an incumbent, but only by one term. If we were dealing with someone like Harry Reid who had been around forever, then it'd be a different situation.

According to civiqs, Biden approval was 44 approve - 49 disapprove in July 20. It's now 39 approval - 52 disapproval.

According to 538 aggregate, Biden's approval was 52 approve - 42 approve in July 20. It's 45 approve - 49 disapprove now.

It's safe to say that these numbers would be less favorable to dems if the poll were to be conducted today.
