The survey, conducted by GOP strategist Woodrow Johnston and pollster David Wolfson from Columbia University, shows Democratic Senator Jacky Rosen performing better than ever against her Republican opponent, Sam Brown. Rosen garnered 51% support in the poll, while Brown received around 40%. Previous polls had indicated a closer race between the retired Army captain and his Democratic rival. Johnston linked Brown&#8217;s decline in this latest poll to Trump&#8217;s apparent drop in popularity within Nevada during an interview with the Nevada Independent. Just last month, Trump was slightly favored to win the swing state; however, current surveys show him tied with Vice President Kamala Harris. Johnston noted that when Trump was leading in polls, Brown still trailed behind; now that Trump has fallen back, it seems Brown has also dropped further. He suggested a correlation between their performances as both campaigns have aligned themselves closely with their party leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this setback for Republicans, Johnston remains optimistic about a potential turnaround for them in Nevada. He pointed out that media focus has shifted towards Vice President Harris since her announcement and expressed confidence that Trump tends to perform better under pressure\u2014anticipating his numbers might improve following his upcoming sentencing on September 18.<\/p>\n<p>While Johnston and Wolfson\u2019s findings are among the latest regarding the Senate race in Nevada, RealClearPolitics&#8217; average of recent polls indicates only a 4-point gap between Rosen and Brown\u2014suggesting a competitive contest remains underway. Additionally, not all surveys reflect a loss of momentum for Brown; one released on August 6 by Redfield and Wilton Strategies showed Rosen losing 2 percentage points since their last poll but still leading at 41% compared to Brown&#8217;s 38%.
