Three Democrat senators in Trump states are in deep trouble

Washington Examiner:
Three Democratic incumbents running for re-election in states President Trump won are among the least-popular senators, according to new polling data.

Morning Consult surveyed more than 275,000 registered voters from the beginning of January through the end of March, asking them to indicate whether they approve or disapprove of their senators. On the list of the ten least-popular senators, Republicans take the top three slots with Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and John McCain, R-Ariz. But slots four through six go to Trump Country Democrats, all of whom are up for re-election in November: Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.

McCaskill and Baldwin, according to the poll, are both underwater with voters. About 44 percent of Missouri voters disapprove of McCaskill, while 39 percent approve. In Wisconsin, 42 percent of voters disapprove of Baldwin, while 40 percent approve (similar to a Marquette Law poll released last month). More West Virginia voters approve of Manchin than disapprove of him, but by a slim margin of 44 to 43 percent.

Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Dean Heller, R-Nev., round out the rest of the list.
...
The Republicans who are in trouble other than McConnell have been critical of President Trump.  The Democrats who are in trouble voted against legislation supported by the administration.  There is reason to believe that the GOP will actually pick up seats in the Senate.
