those polls showing mark kelly is up. about the significance of that as well. >> yeah, this is being viewed as the big battle, kelly, the former astronaut, versus mcsally, the former fighter pilot, as you mentioned. yes, kelly has been up for a significant amount of time, but his lead, at least in the last polling before we got the numbers today, was a single digit lead. he's now opened that up significantly to now again a double-digit lead. we have seen the numbers shift back and forth, but he's up by a significant margin. if you tamp down and look at the demographics, kelly has a very impressive lead in latino voters, in independent voters, in women voters. so you start to see some of those numbers as well. and when you're looking and talking about specifically mare acope opcounty where most of the votes are centered, mcsally really, to counter those numbers, is focused on this area. >> i'm so sorry to interrupt you. particularly a question that i asked, but we have to get to montgomery, alabama. so sorry, steve. but we

this new nbc poll shows former astronaut mark kelly running ahead of march think mcsally by double digits. the number for trump in arizona is one more example of the president's struggles in a swing state. couple days ago we saw biden up in minnesota, michigan and in this state of pennsylvania. the issue here is a whole bunch of people who believed that donald trump was going to -- whatever you think -- make america great again. he was going to improve their lot in life. they're somehow coming to the conclusion that he couldn't do it when times were okay. he's definitely not doing it in the last 100 days. >> the thing that's interesting to me looking at the swing state polls is that every time a new one comes out, i say that's got to be an outlier. i should look at the sample more closely. i go to the decision desk and say how do we feel about that poll. i'm so scarred from what we experienced in 2016 that all of these polls showing the democrat 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 points ahead in states that trump won in 2016, i feel like -- my brain gets it, but my soul can't because of what we had previo

arizona looks good for mark kelly, as well. added to what's going on in maine.ie harrison has raised an incredible amount of money against lindsey graham. you have hickey looper, steve bullock and montana, and joni ernst also in trouble in iowa as a key reference. i think the president, what he says matters in alabama, which it should be. in the map is opening up her democrats. mcconnell knows that. >> melissa: charles payne, i'll give you the final word. one thing that we have seen no matter who the president is, yom congress. you need to get out there and endorse people for your party that are going to get elected that you can help your agenda succeed. see 60 out. first and foremost i will say roll tide.

in arizona, former astronaut mark kelly has maintained a wide lead against republican senator mcsally. and in may, susan collins was down four points to the democratic challenger. but there's also other states. in iowa, there are bad signs for republican senator joni ernst, where democrat theresa greenfield has a slight edge. in montana, remember the democratic governor of that state, steve bullock, appears to have a small lead on the incumbent republican senator steve danes. and in north carolina, democrat cal cunningham is a strong challenger to republican incumbent senator tom tillis. so starting to talk about a possible upset in south carolina, where senator graham, who started breaking from the president a little more lately, is facing a challenge from former south carolina democratic party chair jamie harrison, who just announced he raised a staggering sum in the second quarter, $13.9 million. he's just one of the senate democratic candidates putting up huge fund-raising numbers. for more, i'm joined by an election forecaster, and host of the show "the election whisperer." rache

she is losing consistently to mark kelly, a former astronaut, husband of gabrielle giffords and that'she presidential level. these states are just wracking up for possibilities for democrats. and at this point, there are multiple paths to the three seats that they need and thati k of it as four seats probably that they're going to need, because the most vulnerable incumbent is doug jones in alabama, and we project that one as a probable loss for democrats, but everywhere else they are playing offense where republicans are very much on defense. >> we're now inside 100 days to the election. what is the momentum driving these races? is it the individual candidates and platforms or is it the coronavirus? >> i think it is just a combination of things. four months ago one republican strategist said to me this was sort of the perfect storm against them. now it is becoming a perfect tsunami that could really wipe out the senate and republicans increasingly see this as their last firewall. if the polls stand and joe biden defeats president trump, we at the cook political report, my colleague da

every poll you've seen in arizona has had martha mcsally, the republican incumbent losing there, mark kelly the democrat. democrats are very optimistic about arizona. they're very optimistic about colorado, cory gardner, republican, but in a state trump didn't even win in 2016, democrats optimistic there. also obviously maine, democrats have had their eyes on susan collins, republican there. she's been there 24 years. they've had their eyes on that seat for a long time. they think this may be the year. let's see what it would do if you put it over there, if the democrats got those three and biden won the presidency, you would just need one more. if your party has the white house, your party breaks the tie in the senate. if the democrats got those three they're probably most optimistic about. where else would they look on this map? i think one that jumps out is north carolina. trump carried north carolina. it was by a couple points, certainly could be a very competitive state this fall. the polling there, the republican incumbent has been shaky for them. make democrats could pick up north ca

they'll be voting in a very key senate race between incumbent martha mcsally and challenger mark kelly. in a brand-new nbc mar is poll kelly is ahead by 12 points. the democrats are leading in the presidential rate there. joe biden holding a five-point lead at this point over president trump. let's go to steve patterson from phoenix with the very latest on the new poll and it comes out just a day after the state suffered the second largest covid 19 total in terms of deaths to date. steve, that is pretty rough. how are voters feeling in this battle ground state? >> reporter: you know, that is the issue that is top of the mind, when you look at all of the key issues that could be the headliner, whether it is immigration reform, whether it is jobs, the economy overall, race relations, all of that, if not overshadowed completely by covid is colored by it. the state of arizona, over 160,000 cases and 3,000 deaths and yesterday, excuse me, the second highest death toll that the state has recorded so far. and while the numbers are starting to plateau, if not decline in some cases, remember th

in arizona, former astronaut mark kelly is up nine points. and leading tom tillis by nine points. >> let's just stick with north carolina. this is a swing state that republicans usually win. but the president down by seven, tom tillis, he is getting absolutely pounded in that north carolina race. also a lot of trob. of course steve bullock probably the favorite to win up there. you go around the country and again we're not talking about what the president said in the past nine months, we're talking about what he said yesterday. with all of this the coronavirus, magically going away still in july. >> it is. >> amazing, that number, you talked about all of the states, there is a reason that mitch mcconnell has publicly starts to break with the president we have not seen them do that up until now, and now in the last month or so, we have seen them come out critical of the president, breaking with the president on the way she handling kfrs raising questions about the russia bounty story. when you look at right track and wrong track numbers, 74% o

match-up, but on the senate side, democratic candidate mark kelly is leading his republican challenger martha mcsally by 12 points. as you just heard chuck schumer explain the senate republicans do not appear to have what it takes to effectively govern and now the democrats are favored to retake the senate with competitive races in previously ruby red states like georgia where i grew up and iowa. so while the presidential election tends to take up all of the oxygen, the importance of these senate races cannot be overstated. if democrats take the white house but republicans keep the senate, good luck passing meaningful legislation or confirming that black woman to the supreme court that joe biden has promised or shaping a democratic cabinet. trump wouldn't even be on the ballot if the republican controlled senate led by a self-proclaimed grim reaper mitch mcconnell chose the country over the loyalty when 45 was impeached and it's because the republicans controlled the senate they got away with this. >> one of my proudest moments i looked barack obama in the eye i said, you will not fulf
