(The Politico) Just one week after Democrats picked up Sen. Roger Wicker's (R-Miss.) former House seat in northeast Mississippi, the party's Senate campaign committee released a new poll showing Wicker trailing former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove (D) in November's special election Senate race.

The poll shows Musgrove leading Wicker 48 to 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup. Musgrove holds a 57 percent favorability rating, while 30 percent of voters view him unfavorably. Wicker also sports high approval ratings, but is less known throughout the state - which is partially attributable for his polling deficit.

Wicker holds a 42 percent favorability rating, with only 14 percent of voters viewing him unfavorably. Thirty percent of voters said they "didn't recognize" Wicker.

The poll, conducted by Hamilton Campaigns, surveyed 600 likely voters from May 15-18. It has a margin of error of four percent.

The poll comes just after Rep.-elect Travis Childers (D-Miss.) picked up Wicker's former House seat that he held for over 12 years in a special election. In an interview last week in Oxford, Miss. - the day before the special election -- Wicker said that he didn't believe the results would have any bearing on his own campaign in November.

"I'll be running on my record - 13 years of conservative service in the United States House of Representatives," Wicker said.

Republicans may lose Mississippi's senate seat also


Good God, I almost choked on my drink when I saw this. What's this world coming to when you can't can't on the most dumbfuck state in the union to vote against their own self interest, and for the GOP?
 
90% of the 36% of Mississippi voters that are black will vote for Musgrove. All Musgrove has to do to win is to keep the negatives from white voters lower than 70% or so. Since Musgrove is a true Dixiecrat (he was the one that asked that Judge Moore house the ten commandments in Mississippi when they were thrown out of Alabama), and the Republicans are becoming less and less popular even in the south, I don't imagine he will find this very difficult.
