All across the country, House Republicans in traditionally very safe districts suddenly find themselves scrambling to survive in the age of Trump. And now Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who easily won re-election by 35 points in 2016, is down to just an eight-point lead over his Democratic challenger, Andrew Janz.

In a new Public Policy Polling survey, paid for by Democratic political action committee End Citizens United, 49 percent of voters support Nunes, compared to 41 percent who support Janz.

Typically, an eight-point advantage is a comfortable margin. But compared to 2016, this means Nunes’ level of support has already plummeted by an astonishing 27 points in less than two years.

And given the massive scale of the campaign his challenger is running, Nunes’ support could easily drop even further in the more than four months between now and November.

1. I hope that Janz defeats this idiot

2. Getting out and voting and money is the only way........................

3. Nunes doesn't really appear to be at risk of losing his seat.

An 8 point advantage is still a pretty comfortable lead.

4. You never know...and we have time...and Nunez has been very quiet of late...he is a Russian spy.

5. Nunes and the Republicans have embraced Trump's treason so his

being a Russian asset may not hurt him.

7. It will hurt in his area. Lots of vets/retirees in that area - not just corporate farms.

The majority of the white population in that area are long time "Law Abiding Citizens" and "America, Love it or Leave it"/1950's Bircher types - and they're older and struggling. They don't have money to invest on Wall Street, and they especially distrust foreigners, gangsters, and foreign entanglements.
They are more nationalists than Trumpeteers - and someone - especially one who is a wealthy career politician (not a vet or someone who came up out of a "Real American" working class family), who is caught lying, has foreign ties and can be proven to have taken foreign money, is not someone they'll vote for - over a "Real American".

That he's dropped as much as he has is very telling. There's another 10% or so just holding on to the Name Brand GOP - until Drumpf totally embarrasses himself again over North Korea, or when the cost of living finally goes sky-high because of tariffs and it can't be blamed on the Democrats or the State of California. These people will just not come out to vote.

8. Could be true...but I hope not.

6. Not ready to call him "endangered"...

It's rated as a SAFE-R district; he has 10x the money than Janz does, and everyone in the district had a chance to vote against him in last month's Primary (remember, they have a all-candidate jungle Primary system). Nunes got 54,887 to Janz's 30,141

9. I just donated

Because I hate Nunes

I'd hit the ground for Janz, but that's a long trip from Delaware.

I'll be knocking on doors in PA and NJ
