CNN’s Tapper on Tight Senate Races in Michigan and Maine: You’d Think Democrats Would Be ‘Overwhelmingly in the Lead’ with Such an Unpopular President

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “But Democrats aren‘t exactly in the clear, either, in some of the key races. CNN has some brand-new polling out today in two of the most important Senate races this year. The contest in Michigan between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers. No clear leader. And the contest in Maine between Democrat Troy Jackson and Republican Senator Susan Collins. No clear leader. Both races right now within the margin of error. Clear toss-ups with less than two months to go. You‘d think, theoretically, with such an unpopular president, the Democrats would be overwhelmingly in the lead, but they are not.”
