Two late Oct polls that RCP has
KOB TV, Heiny 52%, Rich 37%, Johnson 7%(!)
Emerson, Heiny 48%, Rich 32%, Johnson 16%
I’m a “hard” R but I would certainly vote for Johnson if he was running ahead of Rich (and I lived there). In fact I endorsed him over on Dave Leip’s Atlas but I’m probably gonna change that now.
In this case, Johnson should endorse Rich.
