Republicans are crying foul play, alleging that the Department of Justice is unfairly targeting one of their own.
The East Carolina University poll of 957 registered voters found Justice leading by 22 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup with Manchin,reported on Tuesday. Fifty-four percent of voters said they planned to back Justice, while 32 percent said they were going to vote for Manchin.
And while Justice also dominated a poll pitting him against fellow Republican challengers, such as Representative Alex Mooney, a widely reported lawsuit regarding his son could shift the approval rating to Mooney. The poll found that a matchup between Mooney and Manchin would be much closer, with only a single percentage point separating the two in Mooney's favor, allowing the Democrat senator a stronger chance to retain his seat if he decides to run.
