Geez…Larry Sabato’s latest newsletter….depressing
How is Trump supposedly doing better than 2016 or 2020? I refuse to believe it.
even though I think Biden has done a great job
but feel like he isn't looking as good as himself in 2020 or Hil in 2016
The Maga base is charged….whether that will actually turn into votes is another thing
all focus should be on battleground stages and ignore the other 44
I still can't belive the law and order crowd is lining up to vote for a convicted felon
It's only a felony if they believe it's actually a crime. If he can shoot someone on 6th Avenue and still get their vote, a few white collar crimes certainly don't matter, unless it's a Democrat accused of them.

Yeah, i'm not sure why this is a hard concept for people to get. It's like the "gotcha" of Republicans railing against the deficit and then exploded said deficit when they're in power. Just like Biden basically doing everything Trump did with immigration…it's all only bad when it's the other team.

I’ve seen this type of crap at sporting events too. Home fans are all ‘hurray’ when their team scores and then get upset when the other team scores. Or they say refs suck when their team gets called for a foul, but then have no problem when the opponent is called for the same foul. It’s outrageous.

Well I am curious if under Biden thousands of kids have been separated from their parents?
Also, and I could see it, are people being caged in the same conditions?
Do democrats pay to send illegal immigrants to DC, NYC, Chicago?
I think being a convicted felon will have no impact on his base. That was always a given. It is a cult and as Limbaugh once said “Only Trump can release them”…
But on voters in the middle or undecided or undecided on whether to bother voting for Trump? Yes, I think it will have impact. A lot of voters are older people and they may not quite be as jaded about white collar felonies. In a close election all impact is theoretically determinative. My kid told me Lieberman cost Gore the election in Florida by going after video game manufacturers and instituting the ratings system etc. When the difference is only 547 votes out of millions sure it could be determinative!
I don’t believe the polls at this point. I think Biden will win by a few points but not going to lie that Sabato’s note gave me concern. Biden hasn’t consolidated his base yet. It will happen. The little bit of independents, moderates and undecideds will with go Biden or stay home overwhelmingly. And I don’t think they can count on digging up more of Trump’s base. Those people all voted in 2016 and 2020.

Come on! Democrats would never have a convicted felon as their candidate!
Again the whole democrats and republicans are the same shit…
Hunter Biden is not Joe Biden. Is he a nepobaby? Sure but that doesn’t make Joe responsible for him lying on a firm to get a gun. Personally I don’t think much of Hunter but he is not the candidate.

Answer all my questions NKOTB. Don’t be selective.
Those are not cages. Plastic pods is what they are called. For sure it’s not a Julian’s America country club.

I alluded to older voters above
https://www.newsweek.com/older-voters-donald-trump-2024-election-polls-1911778Don’t put stock in polls before Labor Day. It’s just too early. But it’s still worrying to read Sabato.
I realize am posting a link to polls while saying they don’t matter….there’s a lot at stake and it’s hard for even me to ignore the noise

interesting is when I did a search the top hits for sabato's missive were Newsmax and Washinton Examiner
We really need Pennsylvania, that's everything in my eyes (of course Michigan, and Wisconsin too)
I think all monies in the DNC need to be focused on those areas

The first Maryland poll since the general election was set:
Angela Alsobrooks (D) leads Larry Hogan (R) 45/34.

More details
Much has been made of Hogan’s popularity in the state, but Alsobrooks actually has a net favorability rating 10 points better than his. She comes in at +27 (43/16) compared to his +17 (50/33). Hogan has a base issue with 26% of Republicans viewing him negatively compared to only 8% of Democrats who see Alsobrooks in a bad light. That dynamic helps explain why Libertarian Mike Scott is getting 3%.
