Opinion | I'm Trump's former lawyer. Jack Smith should be celebrated, not vilified.

The Emerson poll has always shown Sherrill doing a bit worse than the others, which have her up 4-8 points.
BUT the last round of polls in the 2021 gubernatorial race had the Democrat up 7 and he won by 2.
It's fair to treat this as a toss-up right now, so Democrats need a huge GOTV effort.
