We got an alarming polling update today, friend, and I wanted you to be the first to know:

Eric Hovde has officially taken the lead for the first time in public polling — a brand-new poll from Trafalgar shows me down by 1 point, 49-48.

This moment has been building up for months. He and his Republican allies launched an $80 million ad blitz to close the polling gap and buy this seat, and they’ve never been closer to succeeding.

I don’t mean to be alarmist, friend, but we’re running out of time to fight back.

Republicans are outspending us on the airwaves, early voting is underway, and all signs show my self-funding megamillionaire opponent surging.

This incredible grassroots team has helped me defy the odds before, but I’m going to need more supporters than ever chipping in and standing with me in order to defend this crucial Senate seat.

So, will you split an urgent donation between Demings PAC and my campaign to help close the polling gap between me and my right-wing opponent and win this toss up race? Democrats cannot defend the Senate majority if we lose Wisconsin.

Thanks for being a part of this team.
