Trump's decision to bring back Paul Manafort should be setting off huge alarms bells and yet it is hardly registering in the mainstream media. Trump is laying out a virtual welcome mat for Putin.

Just imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. The last time Manafort oversaw a Republican convention for Trump:

Poll after poll shows that the vast majority of voters support giving Medicare the power to negotiate with drug company for lower prices, and support for Medicare drug price negotiations withstands any attack that the drug companies and their allies might throw at it. Support for Medicare drug price negotiations is strong across party lines - in large part because voters across party lines see that drug companies are charging unreasonable amounts for medicines

NEW: Our poll of voters in 5 key states (AZ, CO, GA, NV, NH) finds a large majority do NOT want to cut the cost and scope of the #BuildBackBetterAct. 59% say Congress should keep the cost at the current proposed level or increase the cost so the legislation can do more. The poll was conducted for @ClimatePower and @LCVoters Sept 9-13 with 1,502 voters across the 5 states. Link to full poll memo is here:

Our new poll for @ProtectOurCare finds that 73% of voters favor the #BuildBackBetterAct when they see its provisions, cost, and tax provisions. The health care provisions are overwhelmingly supported by voters, and voters identify the health care provisions as the most important elements of the #BuildBackBetterAct

New polling from @ProtectOurCare:

With support across party lines, large majorities favor President Biden’s COVID rescue plan and want Congress to pass it.

After seeing the main provisions 74% favor the plan, including 46% who strongly favor it. 1/4 There is broad, bipartisan support in the country for the Biden COVID package:

98% among Democrats
72% among Independents
50% among Republicans

46% of Trump voters support it, even though it is explicitly identified with Biden. 2/4

Our new national survey for @ProtectOurCare shows that a large majority of voters want Congress to act urgently on coronavirus legislation, and favor a bigger and more comprehensive bill over one that costs less but does less. A 61% majority say it is VERY important for Congress to pass additional legislation to deal with COVID impacts; another 21% say it is fairly important. Fully 76% want Congress to act in the next few weeks rather than waiting until next year.

NEW: Our national survey completed this weekend finds strong public rejection of Trump’s handling of the protests that have followed the killing of George Floyd and of the way Trump has dealt with the mistreatment of black people by police. Trump is not just on the wrong side of history, our poll shows he is on the wrong side of all the numbers.

The following tweets tell the story.

New polling from six battleground states with vulnerable GOP incumbents: 83% favor making sure voters have multiple options for how they cast their ballots this year, including voting by mail and early voting as well as voting on Election Day, with 71% of Republicans in support. 74% of voters want their GOP senator to vote for legislation to provide funding to expand and improve systems for voting by mail and in-person early voting.

Trump’s rush to open the economy is totally out of sync with public opinion. Here are several findings in that regard.

1. The clear priority for the large majority of Americans right now is slowing and stopping the spread of the virus. 2. Americans obviously are very concerned about the short-term and long-term financial toll of the pandemic on them and their families, but they are even more concerned about the possibility that they or someone in their family will become infected by the virus.

1. In new polling for @MajorityPAC , Maine voters see @SenatorCollins as driven by political self-interest, not principle. The results show Collins' already weak position will be further weakened by aligning so closely with Trump and McConnell on impeachment. 2. The important context here is that a majority of Maine voters believe that President Trump is guilty of
abusing the power of his office

1. We recently completed polling for @LawWorksAction on the Senate impeachment trial in six key states, including four with Republican senators in cycle (AZ, CO, ME, NC) and two with Democratic senators in cycle (MI, NH). 2. By 67% to 29%, voters in the six states want the Senate to conduct a full trial and carefully consider the evidence on both sides. This result is the same in the 4 GOP and the 2 Democratic states. 73% of Independents and 40% of Republicans want a full trial.

Results from the new Politico-Morning Consult poll shows why the politics of the shutdown are so bad for Trump and GOP senators who abet him.

First, only 24% of voters consider the border wall to be a top priority. Half of Republican voters do not consider it a top priority. Second, by 3 to 1, voters say a president should take all steps necessary to AVOID a shutdown, with only 22% saying a president should allow a temporary shutdown to achieve policy goals. Republican voters oppose shutdowns by 48% to 41%

Key findings from our new @LawWorksAction poll on Mueller investigation:

1. Large majorities say Mueller should be able to complete his investigation and follow the facts where they lead. 68% of Republicans agree it would be an abuse of power for Trump to stop investigation. 2. There is almost universal support for making Mueller's report public, and voters oppose letting Trump decide on his own to withhold certain portions of the report. "The public has a right to know if the President was involved in serious crimes."
