BILOXI, Mississippi -- A new poll shows conservative state Sen. Chris McDaniel with a commanding 12-point lead the runoff election in Mississippis GOP primary over six-term incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS).
The Citizens United Political Victory Fund poll, conducted by Kellyanne Conway of The Polling Company, Inc., shows McDaniel has a 52 percent to 40 percent lead over Cochran.
In a memo, pollster Conway noted too that McDaniel has an intensity advantage as 47 percent of his supporters say they are definite supporters whereas only 37 percent of Cochrans say as much.
With eight days to go before the run-off election in Mississippi, this poll shows that the momentum is with conservative challenger Chris McDaniel, Citizens United president David Bossie told Breitbart News. It is clear that Mississippians want a fresh voice in the U.S. Senate.
Citizens United Political Victory Fund has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars backing McDaniel in Mississippi.

I agree. Get out and vote.
However, generally speaking, when the incumbent is polling below 50% that is a sure danger sign.
Cochran is obviously toast and his multiple gaffes recently-—including the fact that he didn’t even know that Cantor was defeated (he probably doesn’t even know who Cantor is, much less Brat) show precisely how out of touch and cacooned in DC he really is.
Cantor had a ‘commanding lead’. Ignore it. GET OUT AND VOTE!
Quick! Bloomberg needs to send more money to Cochrane.

It’s pretty amazing how much money Bloomberg has already sent.

Bloomberg needs to send and spend more money for Thad and the GOPe.
“Six term incumbent. Have people no shame?”
I agree, it’s really low to pick on that old man by running against him!
Cochran should withdraw for the good of the Party.
(KARL: ARE YOU LISTENING?)
Wow. We all do think alike. Hahaa..
Yep, that's their play, make conservatives think it's ok if they skip cuz McDaniel is so far ahead.
Chris had better be concentrating on getting his vote out.
Donated last week. :-)
This will make Boehner cry!!!
I’ll take ‘What’s the definition of a long list” for $100 Alex
I agree. Both these polls have small samples. Keep running like we’re behind. Nothing to lose by doing so.
I’m not from MS but I donated to McDaniel.
Hah! Seems those polled didn’t believe Thad when he said he was just joking about the animal thing.
Never count your chickens before they have hatched. MCDANIEL should campaign like he is ten points behind! The surest ways to lose is to think and act like you are going to win big.
Who is your GOP candidate for ‘16?
I’d take:
Scott Walker
Mike Pence
Bobby Jindal
We need a governor.
