Poll of registered voters says Democrats can't take the Senate

Joe Cunningham:
In a poll that’s being touted as “brutal” for Democrats, it appears as though the Republicans are on track to keep the Senate in November’s midterm elections, which would give President Donald Trump the chance to still get nominees through the body if need be.

The poll, being pushed by Axios, looks bad for the Democrats, particularly for Democrats in red states. Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, Bill Nelson in Florida and Joe Donnelly in Indiana are the three weakest Democrats, who are currently underwater in their re-election races. Republican Dean Heller is also underwater, and Arizona is currently leaning blue after years of electing a Republican senator in John McCain.

Democrat Claire McCaskill of Missouri is also in trouble, up only two points over presumptive Republican opponent Josh Hawley. If this poll stands, that means the Republicans could gain a net of 1-2 seats.
...
The poll does not take into account what I believe is strong GOP support for Trump's nominee tot eh Supreme Court and if Democrats vote against him, their support will drop further.  Additionally, likely voter polls are much more predictive of actual results and they generally show more support for Republicans.
