Martin Heinrich (D-NM) as well. Domenici noted that her state was “solidly red for a long time” when her father was senator from 1973 to 2009.

This is no fluke, meaning it is not based on one outlier poll that can skew the entire field. Of the seven most recent polls, Republicans have led in five and two are tied.
