28% of independents in this poll undecided

That's a  huge chunk - and likely a good portion of LEANS TRUMP in there.

Just keep ignoring the data, Kid.

And you keep ignoring the trends and 2016.

In 2016 Trump wasn’t the incumbent who let 220,000 people die from Covid 19 and allowed the virus to devastate the econ9my.

[kiidcarter8]

So Kelly doesn't fire people for being stupid?  How very Trumpian of him!  LoL.



This occurred BEFORE he was hired.

[LarryBnDC]

If Kelly, son of cops, had ever said anything that would lead voters to think he could endorse that young twit's tweet, then it might make a difference.  But Kelly hasn't, and I think most voters have made up their minds at this point.  This is really small potatoes and I think even McSurly knows that and is just playing the usual games.




Young, STILL EMPLOYED twit.  That's the point.

Cancel culture?

[kiidcarter8]

However, I suspect that most voters can correctly interpret this non-action as compassion for youthful stupidity rather than that Kelly doesn't support cops.  Still hoping the fact that Kelly has cops for parents will somehow register with Mr. Carter as VERY PROBABLY indicative that Kelly is not anti-police.



He may not be

His statements may seem so as he courts voters

I don’t remember ads like this in 2012...

Also a reminder that when you think of this year’s calendar relative to polls and date, in comparison with 2016, the election then ended on Nov 8. This year it ends on Nov 3. Comparing trajectories, we are five days closer to the wall than we were at the equivalent date last cycle four years ago.

That ought to be a powerful ad.

There's never been a president faced with that kind of backlash before the end of his term in office from his own appointees, since maybe John Tyler. And Tyler was the VP, not the President, when he got elected.

When it is one or two of them, "disgruntled ex-employee" is almost feasible. When you have this many and the president has been insulting them and others all the way along (and still is), then it's him, not them.

Billboard outside Pittsburgh spells out the GOP's problem:

Seemingly a just result.  Its just taxpayer cash.

Many of the new recipients will be truly helped - but this doesnt discount the thousands on the program unnecessarily.

"People are tired of COVID," the president ranted during the call, according to the New York Times' Maggie Haberman. "People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong… Fauci's a nice guy, he's been here for 500 years."

The president also called Fauci "a disaster" and lamented that he would receive lots of negative press for firing him.

"If I listened to [Fauci], we'd have 500,000 deaths," the president fumed


yep

  I don't think she comprehends how immoral and greedy and selfish businesses/top execs are, and how much malfeasance and harm they will rain/reign upon the country if permitted.  I want gov't to leave alone individuals as much as possible (there I'm on board with the Libertarians), but regulate business to keep them from being malign actors.

I think a lot of these Ayn Randy folks are lacking much understanding of human nature, or history.   In every instance where predatory capitalism is given free reign,  economic inequality has grown and the environment degraded.   And workers more trampled on.   

As always,  economic systems can view labor as a commodity,  very abstractly,  and not as human beings seeking higher values in life.

PREDATORY CAPITALISM!
Oh my!

RCP continues to play games with their presidential polling. Until today's inclusion of the TIPP numbers, they've not put the new Biden/Trump poll on their national polling list and even that one they excluded the head to head rather than listing both as they formerly did.

So, here is the newest YouGov poll:

Yahoo News/YouGov poll: The tide turns against Trump as Biden surges to his largest-ever lead among likely voters

Huh. I wonder why they don't have it.

Here's Morning Consult's, which RCP simply doesn't carry:
