"A national survey from Emerson College Polling found 53 percent of voters sided with the generic Democrat, up 3 points from last month, while 42 percent sided with the Republican, up 2 points from last month."

"Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted female voters break for the Democratic candidate by a 27-point margin, “driving the Democrats’ significant lead on the ballot.” Men were more split, siding with the Democratic candidate by a 5-point margin."


"Pollster Nate Silver’s averages show Democrats with a 6-point lead, putting the party at 48 percent support to Republicans’ 42 percent."

It'll be interesting to see if this trend holds up with more progressive candidates prevailing in the party.

Nothing I'd like more than two years of a lame duck president.

It will be worse than that: Trump is going to get impeached again, and his entire administration is going to do nothing but testify for two years in front of congressional committees.

Grocery prices, gas prices, heck, affordability in general, housing prices, health insurance and health care affordability, the quagmire in Iran, unpopular ICE enforcement, Trump's general unpopularity, and so forth and so on. It's hard to imagine the Republicans will suffer anything other than a miserable defeat in the midterms right now.

Remember those signs from 2024 about vote Trump for low prices and Kamala for high prices? They seem absurd now.

Everything he said Harris would do he has done. Mind boggling he has the support he does, but his true believers don't care and have selective amnesia.
