the only other thing I wanted to point out about that Mitchell poll was that their prior poll done last summer was Trump 43, Biden 45.
Their final poll from 2020 was Trump 45, Biden 52, a 7 point gap. So yes, this new poll is quite a turnaround in favor of Trump.

In this election only these states matter:
AZ, GA, WI, PA, MI, NV
If Biden or Trump lose any of the states not on this list that they lost in 2020 they are in big trouble.
Like if Biden loses VA or Trump loses NC.
Unfortunately for Trump, WI, PA, MI, NV and AZ have serious voting law problems, only GA changed to the better from 2020. MI actually changed to the worse. The others kept the voting laws that favor Dems and/or fraud.

…” then-President Donald Trump FALSLY claimed that drop boxes led to rampant election interference. He and his allies launched an unsuccessful lawsuit seeking to block their implementation in Pennsylvania that year. They later cited the drop boxes in UNSUBSTANTIATED claims about mass voter fraud.

Who do Republican voters want Trump tp pick as VP?
LOL
#1 choice is Desantis, #2 choice is Haley.
Trump savaged both and hates both and will never pick either of them.
**************************************************************************************
“Now, according to the survey, 18% of Republicans want DeSantis to be Trump’s vice presidential running mate.
In a close second place is former Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who received 17% support from Republicans as Trump’s vice president.
Haley was the last Republican contender to drop out of the primary. She was able to win nearly 100 delegates, and put up a fight in states like Vermont and South Carolina. But, ultimately, she dropped out after Trump roundly defeated her on Super Tuesday.
Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Gov. Tim Scott are tied for third place with 15% support among Republicans.
Notably, Democratic former Congressman Tulsi Gabbard received 7% support, the only Democrat to get that kind of backing from Republicans.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem received 6% support among Republicans to be Trump’s running mate. Many analysts have said Trump should pick a female vice president to persuade Haley supporters and suburban women to support the ticket.”

Let me see if I can put an end to the nonsense being spewed forth here about the potential for J6 defendants getting longer sentences from a successful appeal if Sec. 1512 convictions are thrown out: North Carolina v. Pearce, SCOTUS 1969: “Due process of law, then, requires that vindictiveness against a defendant for having successfully attacked his first conviction must play no part in the sentence he receives after a new trial. And since the fear of such vindictiveness may unconstitutionally deter a defendant’s exercise of the right to appeal or collaterally attack his first conviction, due process also requires that a defendant be freed of apprehension of such a retaliatory motivation on the part of the sentencing judge. In order to assure the absence of such a motivation, we have concluded that, whenever a judge imposes a more severe sentence upon a defendant after a new trial, the reasons for his doing so must affirmatively appear. Those reasons must be based upon objective information concerning identifiable conduct on the part of the defendant occurring AFTER the time of the original sentencing proceeding. And the factual data upon which the increased sentence is based must be made part of the record, so that the constitutional legitimacy of the increased sentence may be fully reviewed on appeal.” That is what happened to Little. Judge Lamberth went through a series of facts involving Little that happened AFTER the first sentencing. For a J6 defendant to be resentenced to more time after a successful appeal, the Judge would have to identify something the defendant did AFTER the original sentencing that warranted a different sentence. Imposing a longer sentence as retribution for having successfully appealed is a violation of the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment.
