New poll places Adam Hamilton as leader in race for U.S. Senate
Key Points:
- President Trump is visiting Salina, Kansas, to rally support for Senator Roger Marshall amid a tightening Senate race against challenger Adam Hamilton.
- A recent Washington Post poll shows Hamilton leading Marshall by nearly ten points (52% to 43%), a notable shift from previous closer polls.
- Political science expert Michael Smith cautions that while the poll is significant, it has limitations such as under-sampling Republicans and should be compared with other polls for accuracy.
- Smith suggests Trump's visit is likely based on internal polling rather than reacting solely to this public poll, and tight races may delay final election results beyond election night.
