It should be fascinating to see whether the slope or correlation level (R2) of this graph changes starting on Thanksgiving (that's when the first batch of 5-11 yr olds getting their *second* Pfizer shot should start showing up in the data reports)...
As you can see, the partisan correlation rate increased continuously from the moment eligibility for all adults started in mid-March all the way through mid-September...at which point it basically plateaued. It's remained steady ever since.
Here's another way of looking at it: The bluest tenth of the U.S. has vaccinated 61% more of its total population than the reddest tenth.
--11 counties w/198,000 residents have fully vaccinated at least 80% of their total populations.
--17 counties w/105,000 residents have fully vaccinated less than 20% of their total populations.
--Of counties w/more than 100K people:
Most-Vaxxed: Marin, CA; Sumter, FL; Montgomery, MD (all over 77%)
Least-Vaxxed: LaSalle, IL; Shelby, AL; Limestone, AL (all under 32%)
--Of counties w/more than 1M people:
Most-Vaxxed: Montgomery Cty, MD
Least-Vaxxed: Wayne Cty, MI

FWIW, I’m just waiting on Florida county data to be released later this morning before posting the latest red/blue divide update (I have every other state updated already). Stay tuned…
MICHIGAN FOLKS: I just took my first phone survey of the 2022 election cycle, via an outfit calling itself VRI Research, focused almost exclusively on the bullshit "Secure MI Vote" ballot proposal. michigandems.com/toolkit/declin…
The "Secure MI Vote" proposal is a scam; DO NOT SIGN THE PETITION. The MI GOP's goal is to get enough signatures that they can use a jaw-droppingly stupid loophole in the MI Constitution which would let them pass it into law without allowing @GovWhitmer the ability to veto it.
As for the survey itself, at times it sounded like a push poll, but at other times it got very confusing--several of the ways the arguments given in favor/against the proposal were worded were double-negatives, making it difficult to tell which way the argument was even leaning.
Huh. This article about Biden donors complaining includes an interesting passage… nytimes.com/2021/11/04/us/…
I find this bit kind of bemusing seeing how I personally raised $6 million for various Dem candidates last cycle (including around $70,000 for Biden, I believe) and never asked for a thank you, much less a phone call or ambassadorship…
Oh! Turns out I actually raise $103,000 for him! I guess I should’ve been interviewed for the article?
1. They have NINE KIDS. That's ELEVEN mouths to feed. I applaud the couple for being willing to foster/adopt so many, but I wonder how the story narrative would've differed if they'd been a Black couple w/9 kids?
2. The wife claims that "In June $1 was worth $1, now it's 70 cents"...making it sound like the inflation rate has been *43% since June*, which I find...questionable.
3. She claims a gallon of milk was $1.99 in March, and today it's $2.79.
In reality, the average price for a gallon of milk nationally appears to have been $3.55 in March vs. $3.65 in October. ams.usda.gov/sites/default/…
