Washington Examiner: “Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens’s vow to challenge the reelection of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is boosting his lead in the GOP race to replace outgoing Sen. Roy Blunt, the latest sign of a voter backlash against the long-serving Kentucky lawmaker. New Fabrizio, Lee & Associates polling shows Greitens leading his Republican challengers in the 2022 race by double digits. He currently has 36% support in the race, which could attract several challengers, and leads his nearest foe, Missouri AG Eric Schmitt, by 19 points.”
“His lead grows when voters are told of his promise to fight against McConnell, who is under attack from former President Donald Trump. Fabrizio, Lee is Trump’s pollster. Support for Greitens, who has declared himself the ‘MAGA candidate’ in the race, grows to 44%, 30 points ahead of Schmitt, when voters are told of his ‘vote to remove’ McConnell if elected to the Senate.”
