Democrat West Virginia Governor Now Trailing in Senate Race

Is it any wonder why Democrat West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin was walking back his support of ObamaCare? He obviously realizes his Senate chances are slipping away. Today he wakes up trailing in a race he led by a wide margin just six weeks ago.

Republican John Raese has edged ahead of West Virginia’s popular Democratic Governor Joe Manchin for the first time in the state’s special U.S. Senate race.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely West Virginia Voters finds Raese earning 48% support to Manchin’s 46% when leaners are included. Two percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
