United StatesA new poll suggests that Democratic candidate Scott Colom is within striking distance of flipping Mississippi, a state that strongly supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith currently holds a 6-point lead over Colom, but the race is considered more competitive than usual due to potential increases in Black voter turnout and the state's historically polarized electorate. The poll, conducted by the left-leaning firm Data for Progress, showed Hyde-Smith with 44% support, Colom with 38%, and independent candidate Ty Pinkins with 7%. When Pinkins was removed from the ballot, Colom trailed by 6 points, 41% to 47%. Both candidates have similar net favorability ratings, though Colom is less well-known. Hyde-Smith's campaign dismissed the poll as partisan, while Colom claimed the results show his strength when voters are fully informed.
