Wed morning election update:
- majority of tracks have D leads, no movement to Rs (see below):
- Biden approval up 9-10 pts
- D candidates w/big cash advantage
- Another big #EarlyVote day in GA
- R crossing over to support Ds across US
if you suggest that higher gas prices are benefiting Republicans, it is incumbent upon you to complete the thought - this will once again put the GOP leadership in debt to hostile foreign powers, one of which is committing genocide on European soil.
Thank you.
Turns out that gas prices are coming down, rapidly, despite the efforts of Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Make sure you follow my friend @tbonier. He's putting out terrific, timely analysis on the actual voting and registering we are seeing now, data that is far more important than polling.
Early vote numbers in GA are mindblowing, off the charts. Two days of general election record level turnout. We've not seen anything like this in a midterm. It's a BFD.
@tbonier@deepstateradio Just posted the video of my conversation with "future former Republican" @BillKristol, a leader of the anti-MAGA movement inside the GOP.
We covered a lot of important ground in our discussion. Hope you can watch. 2/
NDN has released a comprehensive new presentation on the Hispanic vote. It's a look back at the history of the battle over the Hispanic vote, and offers some thoughts on where we are today.
Bottom line - it's a remarkable Dem success story. 3/
Been talking to reporters about politics for 30 years. Some reminders about the GOP pols spinning the election:
- they lost the last 2 elections by 6.5 pts
- many of their chosen primary candidates lost
- their candidates are being outraised by Ds
- they blew 2 House specials
- almost every prediction about they made about this "red wave" year has been wrong, and their candidates are underperforming across US
- they don't understand the abortion issue
- their party has been taken over by extremists
- their foundational project is lying about elections
In other words their simply isn't any reason to believe anything they are telling you about the election.
Entire party lives everyday in a land of MAGA make believe.
After three kids and all sorts of travel/recreational sports experience it has become my firm belief that states need to start regulating youth sports, and work to cut down on the psychological and physical abuse that is so common and the corruption/graft. washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/10…
This new Yates report should kick off a national conversation on how to improve youth sports of all kinds, particularly for women.
We need to come up with a “lite” regulatory model that creates a higher floor and protects our kids.
