It seems Chris McDaniel made a mistake by waiting so long to officially get out of the race
against Wicker. The ads run by Wicker in late March seem to have taken a toll on McDaniel.
Chris McDaniel’s image in this poll has deteriorated to 18% favorable / 42% unfavorable. In this
survey, Republicans prefer Wicker over McDaniel by a 4 to 1 margin at 66% Wicker / 16%
McDaniel.

In the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate to see which Democrat will face Senator Wicker this
fall, State Representative Omeria Scott currently leads the pack with 9%. These candidates are
not well known, and the vast majority of voters (79%) are undecided in this race.

METHODOLOGY

This was an automated telephone survey conducted by Triumph Campaigns in which 1,000
self-identified likely general election voters statewide were interviewed. A survey of this size
has a margin of error of +/- 3%. This survey was conducted on April 10th and 11th.
