Josh Hawley now leads Claire McCaskill 52% to 44% in a Missouri Rising Action poll. This same poll showed Hawley up 48-46 just a week ago. There is little doubt that McCaskill's opposition to Brett Kavanaugh is causing this particular effect.
We have seen the same exact thing happen in North Dakota, where Heidi Heitkamp is looking at a pair of polls showing her down by double digit after pledging her personal opposition to Brett Kavanaugh.
If the Democrats lose these two seats, then their path to a Senate Majority becomes extremely narrow.
The irony here is that the Democrats, desperate to delay the confirmation of the next Supreme Court Justice, in case they win back the Senate... are probably throwing away their chance to win back the Senate with their character assassination of Judge Kavanaugh.
