no other candidate gets more than 2% of the vote in that poll. there is good polling news for democrats in senate races also. in arizona, a new poll shows the incumbent republican senator martha mcsally not only running below 50%, which in itself would be a very bad indicator for any incumbent, but it shows her running likely behind her democratic opponent, retired astronaut mark kelly who is polling at 46%. and republican senator martha mcsally is polling at 41% in arizona, the same state where democrats picked up a senate seat in last year s election. in may, the cook political report has shifted its forecast on republican senator susan collins s seat from leaning republican to toss-up. the leading democratic candidate in the maine senate race is the leader of maine s house of representatives sarah giedion. none of this polling information comes as a surprise to our first guest tonight, a patti solis

gru to hand over all kinds of polls data, not just once or twice, but over the course of 2016, to assist them in promoting the internet research agency s efforts with facebook and twitter. this was an effort to coordinate with the russians to intervene in the elect. i think they are very compelling, and we should be required at this point in time to take action. if we don t take action come september 1st, we should you shut it down. i feel strongly that we should, but i think we re running out of time. it is true that paul manafort handed over polling information. i don t know that it s definitive as to the reason why he did it. i don t think mueller was ever able to make a connect between handing over that polling data, but i have to move on. political, in terms of impeachment, the majority of house democrats disagree with
