Encouraging for sure, but polls this far out don't mean a whole lot at the best of times. And now we've had this bombshell drop on the race that will have polling companies scrambling to figure out how they need to adjust their models. They'd assumed the electorate would look one way and it's totally not clear how much that might have changed.
The Mooch has called Harris on TRIP.
Genuine question, I’ve been somewhat out of the loop the past week - how has Trump been ‘running scared’ since Harris has become the opponent?
Why would current Republican-voting women change alliances now that a woman is heading the Democratic Party? Is it purely because it’s a woman out front and centre? Do you assume those women to be that easily swayed and possibly fickle?
The attack lines have been very weak. Essentially accusing his opponent of being mentally ill whilst he grapples with the fact he got his VP pick wrong.
It’s American politics. The analysis I’ve heard is that gender and race is very influential on how people vote. It won’t take many Republican women in swing states to topple Trump. I’m of the opinion that a woman standing up to him, especially in any leadership debate (where let’s be honest, he’ll be shredded) is going to inspire women across the states. Red and blue.
They’ve also spent weeks telling the American people there is no way they should vote for oldest candidate in US history.
And her campaign has only just begun.Anyone seen this? Apologies if fixtures.
'a new national poll from Reuters and Ipsos shows her with a two-point lead over Trump, 44% to 42%.'
'Some observers noted that the audience's enthusiasm contrasted with that seen at Biden events this electoral cycle.'

Sounds like a good recipe for Trump winning does that.
He won't get destroyed. Never underestimate his ability to talk complete bollocks, repeat himself and talk over people and answer different questions to that being asked. Bu the time he's done all that, no-one remembers the actual question, or realises that he wasn't able to answer it.
He could legitimately spend his time up there making fart noises and only responding with "I know you are, but what am I?" and MILLIONS of people would have a favourable view of it.

Pete Buttigieg for VP. He's charismatic and smart, and the MAGA meltdown would be wonderful to see as they try to attack his gayness and her blackness and femaleness without explicitly saying the homophobic, racist and misogynistic words.

and tbh Hogan isn't even that popular in wrestling circles anymore. It's been known for a long time that he's a bonafide arsehole, very much cemented by his weird programme where he showcased his utterly unhealthy relationship with his daughter (eg. "co producing" a song of hers which included the line "daddy he is no comparison to you") and his spoiled lazy son, and cemented again when he was taped proudly proclaiming that he'd never let a "black man" (of course using a different term which I won't repeat) date his daughter, showed no sign of comprehension as to why that was a problem and was unceremoniously sacked by WWE for being too racist for Vince McMahon
