1/ Reality check on Trump's new polling.

First, and foremost, he's earning it the old fashioned way, by being a corrupt, incompetent, unstable example of Bad President Disorder.

It's showing areas where he's been able to paper over -- the economy -- and lean on are weakening.
2/ For all that, don't count chickens quite yet. These are national numbers, not numbers from -- wait for it -- the targeted Electoral College states.

That data is still lagging a bit on the deserved level of hate and disapproval.

Trump's campaign gets this and is spending...
3/ ...time and resources in those states to shore him up. They understand there is only one battlefield, and that's the +/- 15 EC states in play.

*HE* is a moron, but he is surrounded by a *lot* of smarter people on the campaign side who know this and know how to turn this...
4/ ...into a contest in those states about socialism, abortion, guns, 'Meria, scary brown people, and the usual portfolio of culture war scare tactics.

Don't underestimate them. Don't get cocky.

So endeth the lesson.
