Thomas Massie trailing his Trump-backed challenger, Ed Gallrein. the Quantus Insights survey (May 11-12, 908 likely GOP primary voters) shows Gallrein at 48.3% versus Massie\u2019s 43.1%, with 7.6% undecided. Among voters who said they were leaning, Gallrein increases to 52.8% while Massie rises to 45.1%.<\/p>\n<p>The article also points to earlier polling that had Massie ahead in April, including a Quantus poll and another poll cited via Newsweek. It adds political context around Trump publicly criticizing Massie and mentions that Massie has voted against parts of Trump\u2019s agenda. Massie, in an interview, says the race is close-\u201cwithin the margin of error\u201d-and argues that dissenting votes are part of how he votes despite generally aligning with his party.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Rep.
