NEW: Our post-#VPDebate poll found watchers say @KamalaHarris won, but The Fly stole the show.
Nearly half of debate watchers – and 38% of voters – heard a lot about the bug on the VP's head, more than heard about other key moments in the matchup.
Interesting bit in our post-#VPDebate poll: @KamalaHarris got a 9-point bump among those who saw her on stage on the question of how prepared she is to be president if duty calls.
Big day at @MorningConsult, where we did something we'd never done before: We polled voters on the breaking news about @realDonaldTrump's health in real time, and told you what we found as we consumed it.
NEW: Democrats are leading in #AZSen, #COSen, #MISen and #NCSen, according to our new polling of likely voters, while #GASen is close to tied, ~100 days out, tracking close to Joe Biden.
NEW: Police reform debate paints a picture of wide divides, w/ officers on one side and those demanding change on the other. But our new poll of officers tells story of a force mostly on board w/ efforts to reign it in.
We surveyed 9,962 voters to get a good sample of police officers, and tested dozens of proposals laid out by lawmakers and Campaign Zero, a think tank for policing reforms.
In our sample of police officers, we found a force that's overwhelmingly male and young, more politically affiliated than the overall population (particularly on the Republican side) and one that's more favorable of @realDonaldTrump. morningconsult.com/2020/07/23/pol…
NEW: My interview with @JohnJamesMI, who wants people to get past the "myopic fixation on the president" in #MISen and think beyond (maybe) 4 more years of Trump.
Democrats– armed with his '17 comments in "2000% support" of DJT– aren't gonna do that.
Michigan isn't on any handicapper's list of seats LIKELY to flip, but neither side is taking it for granted, either, as one of the GOP's only serious offensive targets this cycle.
.@JohnJamesMI -- who's is raising 💰💰💰 for his #MISen bid -- makes a case as a Vet & job creator, and has pitched the prospect of a bipartisan delegation to D.C.
“Stabenow-James, Democrat-Republican, male-female: Everybody’s voice will be heard"
NEW: @AmyMcGrathKY's campaign says its national TV ads have helped her raise millions in her #KYSen bid. (Setting aside the current primary) I explored whether the fundraising strategy could be replicated (Looking at you, #SCSen).
McGrath's national buying started out as an experiment, her campaign manager told me. They had the resources, so why not? Low risk, high-potential reward. The response? #KYsenmorningconsult.com/2020/06/18/mcg…
.@Team_Mitch is an easy target for national Democratic activist energy -- his #KYSen rival in '14 raised a ton of money, too -- due in part to his large, and almost totally negative name ID from the national Dem base. @LindseyGrahamSC comes in second. morningconsult.com/2020/06/18/mcg…
