Mason-Dixon Poll shows Wicker over McDaniel 49-33; @POTUS Trump with 51% approval in Mississippi

From the poll (embedded below)

Despite the negative national view of Republican leadership in Washington, Mississippi voters give relatively favorable job ratings to President Donald Trump and the state’s two incumbent GOP Senators.

Statewide, 51% say they approve of the job performance of Trump, while 43% disapprove. This is significantly higher than the approval rating Trump receives in a wide array of recent national polls.

Senior Senator Thad Cochran’s job performance has the approval of 54% of Mississippi voters, while 32% disapprove. Junior Senator Roger Wicker has an approval rating of 47%, a disapproval rating of 33% and a significant 20% can’t rate it.

While Wicker has a 70% approval rating from Republican voters, he could still face a tough primary challenge from Chris McDaniel, who came very close to defeating incumbent Senator Cochran in 2016.

Among those who indicated they vote regularly in GOP primary elections, Wicker holds the early advantage, leading 49%-33% in a head-to-head match-up. A significant 18% are undecided.
