Published: Oct. 21, 2022, 9:53 a.m.

Our colleague Natalie Allison got her hands on some new polling data out of Nevada that shows the closely watched race between Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican Adam Laxalt tightening even further. \u201cLaxalt has inched ahead of Cortez Masto by 2 percentage points, within the poll\u2019s margin of error, a gain from a month ago when he was down 3 percentage points, according to a poll conducted this week by the conservative Club for Growth and shared exclusively with POLITICO.\u201d\nAnd even as the national trend seems to have tilted in the GOP\u2019s favor in recent days, Alaska\u2019s independents seem poised to swing dramatically toward the Democrats \u2014 and that could be an ominous sign for Republicans throughout the nation, David Siders reports from Wasilla.
