Pretty big drop for Beto in addition to a big gain for Harris in this Daily Kos straw poll, which is a pretty interesting cross-section of high-information Democratic activists.
Presumably Beto'll get a boost if/when he declares, as Warren and Harris did. Also, no point in peaking 13 months before Iowa. I think, though, it's been a bad look for him to play hard-to-get when other candidates with frankly more traditional credentials are running officially.
Although some of the Beto attacks have been dumb. Like the one about how he once played in a band and wore funny/furry costumes. The live-blogging thing really did raise concerns about his self-awareness and judgment (IMO); unlike the others, was sort of a self-inflicted wound.
