42% : Both Haley and Laxalt lobbed attacks on Cortez Masto and highlighted law enforcement endorsements of Laxalt, with the Republican challenger saying "95% of police in this state are supporting me."
41% : The senator's campaign spokesman, Josh Marcus-Blank, said in an emailed statement that Laxalt has "attacked federal law enforcement" and "sided with insurrectionists who went after Capitol Police."

34% : HENDERSON, Nev. -- Adam Laxalt teed off on his Democratic opponent in Nevada's Senate race at a campaign event here on Wednesday by accusing Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of failing to stand behind law enforcement in 2020 following a George Floyd protest that turned violent.
