Nevada Democratic Senators 'Underwater' in New Poll After Voting for Spending Bill

Approval Ratings for Nevada Senators

• 📉 Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen are currently "underwater" in terms of approval ratings in Nevada, according to a recent poll.
• 📊 Cortez Masto has a 31% approval rating versus 42% disapproval, while Rosen has 28% approval and 46% disapproval.

Impact of Voting for Continuing Resolution

• ⚠️ Both senators were among a small group of Democrats who voted with Republicans for a continuing resolution to reopen the government, ending a shutdown.
• 💔 This vote angered some Democrats who felt it was a betrayal, especially as no concrete healthcare compromises were secured from Republicans.

Democratic Party Support

• ⚡ A significant finding is that even among Democrats in Nevada, support is split, with 42% approving and 39% disapproving for Cortez Masto, and 42% approving versus 37% disapproving for Rosen.
• 📌 This indicates that the senators are not widely popular within their own party in their home state, which is described as an "alarming" situation.

Future Reelection Prospects

• ⏳ While the current poll numbers are concerning, the senators are not up for reelection until 2026, providing time for potential shifts in public opinion.
• 🤔 It remains to be seen if voters will remember their stance on the continuing resolution by election day, but the dissatisfaction within the Democratic base is evident.
