That poll putting Trump ahead of Biden in all the major battleground states sure looks terrifying, but there’s never been an election more clouded by the unknown than this one.
A week after Halloween and the scary monsters are still abroad in the land.
Scary polls!
Scary plans!
Boogedy, boogedy!
It was a great weekend for intellectual doomscrolling, to say nothing of galloping paranoia. First, The New York Times comes out with a poll that shows the president is trailing Fulton County (Ga.) Inmate No. PO1135809 in all the major battleground states.
The polls are incongruous with the Democrat performance today. It’s confusing. There must be a polling error or other problem
Some places did not even have anything to vote on yesterday.
Which means we didn’t get polled either.
How are they accounting for that?
It’s moreso the signs. Yeah, everyone didn’t vote, but the places that did are providing a very informative picture. Ohio voted to enshrine abortion rights by +14%. Virginia Democrats retook the legislature, which flouts Youngkin’s argument that he knows how to solve abortion for Republicans. And Beshear won reelection in Kentucky.
Unless traditionally blue areas have had similar surprises in favor of right wing causes, this suggests the national mood is very favorable to Democrats, which makes Biden’s approval a big ?
