IheartIheartTesla Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Speaking of polls, you have to laugh at the Rasmussen one today that shows Trump up by 1 nationwide. Not only does it bring the poll averages down, its now a chance for Trump to tout it and enthuse his supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Rasmussen plays it straight in the last couple weeks before an election, so they can point to how accurate they were last time when the next election cycle starts up. At this rate they're going to end up the next Zogby (though Trafalgar may have already taken that mantle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Rose Garden redux! After tonight’s vote to confirm Barrett, the WH is going to hold a confirmation party, outside at the WH! Presumably in the Rose Garden! This is where the God of the Old Testament is supposed to strike them all down with lightning, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall disagreeing with this depiction a few weeks back. Either way, guess there's still a week left for them to change course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Oooooh, I get to use “body man” again! One of the 5 people around Pence who has Covid-19 is his body man, Zach Bauer. And yet it’s full speed ahead on campaigning! And Mark Meadows in that Sunday interview on CNN said they were not naming names because of privacy rights. If it were the President or the VP they would say. Yet these guys are people surrounding the VP. You’d think that was important enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is hoping that a combination of neglect and partisanship will carry him over the line in Texas. Reminiscent of the Clinton strategy in Michigan and Wisconsin.

DMC Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 NYT/Siena has Trump up 47/43 in Texas. 10% other/undecided is lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartIheartTesla Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The latest Siena poll out of Texas has Trump up 4, a slightly better result than I was anticipating (due to Bidens' weakness among Hispanics, offset a bit by strength in suburban Texas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maithanet Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 The description Nate Cohn is providing sounds very much like one where Democrats flip the Texas House. It was gerrymandered in 2010 when the suburbs were safely red, and that is putting a bunch of seats in play that were thought to be "safe". If Democrats don't get a seat at the table for this round of redistricting, then the lines will be drawn to protect a slim majority with a bunch of R+15 seats. If the Democrats want any hope of taking state power in Texas before 2032, it needs to be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the admin has surrendered. What happened to the good old days when the Republicans would call for a very powerful and masculine surge to deal with the situation?

IheartIheartTesla Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 About the Texas poll, Nate Cohn mentioned its about 5% undecided since 4% are voting for 'other'. Also note that he himself admits the 2018 polls did not accurately account for Texas hispanics, and it isnt clear if 2020 is any better. (Edit: I read somewhere that Beto outperformed the Siena/NYT polls by 4 points, so anything is possible). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
