    McCormick is running ads here about 3-1 against Casey, about 2 an hour on most channels. So he must have money. Not sure what the strategy is for not doing it in your area. Perhaps he is using the Trump 2016 playbook, get such a massive vote in rural PA that he can afford to lose big in the Philly area. Hillary won Philadelphia Co. by an astounding 480k votes, as well as Obama, and still lost.

    The last several weeks of polling has been like a kid on Christmas morning opening gifts. Its been fun seeing polls against a candidate that everyone in the nation knows was demented.

    But we knew it wouldn’t last. Like I said months ago, Dems won’t just say, “aw shucks, we will try harder next time.” So they got rid of him, replacing him with a marxist candidate who is not demented.

    So we are essentially back where we were in May, where Trump leads most battlegrounds very narrowly, with some ties and an occasional poll with the Dem ahead.

    The election is not going to be easy, but Trump is still in a decent position. But he could lose.

    The last few weeks of polling have been fun, but the party is over, and its back to work.

  27. Sure, jason, its going to be a battle of defining Harris. Her favorability/unfavorability numbers in these Emerson polls were stronger than Trump’s and light years ahead of Biden’s. They also found Trump’s support among younger voters eroding and fleeing to Harris.

    So the GOP has work to do, and every Patriot who wants to save the country has work to do at the watercoolers and breakrooms. Harris needs to be exposed for the marxist she is. There is ample video evidence of her positions on everything.

    So yes, these current polls could be the high-water mark for her, and then as people learn more, she drops. But they need to learn what they currently do not know. Hence my appeal that work needs to be done, and we cannot cruise to victory like we could with a demented opponent. The media is right now defining her as Obama 2.0.

    The talk of flipping NJ and NY is over and done with. We are back to battling for the battleground states as they were in May. I will be interested to see more polling out of NM and VA, and even MN, just to see where things stand.

    Trump is actually quite good at golf. Hits the ball straight with a baby cut every time. I didn’t expect him to be that good. He would trash Biden. Plus, he’s knocking the ball out there for a guy 78 years old.

    Playing a Sim with a Tour AD shaft…its a spin machine. If I played that id be clocking in at over 4000 rpm LOL

    He’s quite engaging, down to earth and it was actually fun seeing him interact on such a personal level. Iwish the rest of the country could see him like this. I wish he would act like this on the stump, no way he’d lose.

    I suggest watching it, not for the golf but to see him in this environment

    All regarding the golf video – wasn’t meant to be something that moved the needle towards Trump at all. Just thought it was engaging and a bit revealing. As well, its killing it online. DeChambeau has gotten 10X his normal views and gained over 400,000 subs in two days.

    btw – watch this video. Very interesting. And yes, the shooter did get off 8 shots, so the only shot from snipers back at him killed him. One bullet one kill.

    Only because of lopsided advantages in registration in states like CA, IL, NY and other blue states. Where the vote actually counts, swing states, it is a lot closer.

    So even if D +7 was true (it is probably lower) won’t help them just like leading a national poll by +2 won’t help them.

    Sorry, Dumbchuck.

  128. “Democrats hold around a D +7 registration advantage nationwide.”

    Many states have no party registration. Meaningless info you posted here. The only metric that means anything is the exit polling on election day.  2020 was D+1 and 2016 was D+3.

    Furthermore, many states have shown the GOP share of registered voters has grown over Democrats since 2020.

    Saying “That’s not off the mark by a lot” means you are either a very cheap troll, or not very well informed.

    “As of Monday, Bucks County has flipped red, with Republicans gaining a more than 200 voter registration advantage over Democrats.

    Pat Poprick, chair of the Bucks County Republican Committee, said this turn marks the culmination of a years-long effort by Republican organizers in one of Pennsylvania’s most sharply divided counties.

    “We’re all ecstatic. This is something since 2007, that’s the last time we’ve been in the majority, so this has been something that’s been very important to all of us,” she said.

    Republicans closed a gap of 10,000 registered voters dating to November 2020. At that time, registered Democrats in Bucks numbered over 208,000, with Republicans topping out over 198,000.

    As of Monday, Republicans now number 198,045, with Democratic registrations at 197,781.”

    It confirms my view that the Dems are greatly overplaying the importance of this issue.

    The people VERY committed to this issue, a distinct minority. are already voting Democratic. And even then, the 37% the prefer Trump on abortion is a sizeable percentage that is probably higher in swing states.

    i hope the Dems keep thinking this is a big winning issue for them.

    I don’t want to cr@p all over those figures since I will take any victory, especially one that highlights the weakness of my foes. Seems to me, though, that the GOP gained 45 voters at best, while the Dems LOST at least 10,219. That’s big in and of itself. The question for me is, did those Dems die off, or just move elsewhere and take their wretched voting habits with them?

  145. Tina, Gallups monthly survey just put the figures (with leaners) at 47 GOP and 46 Dem. Anyone who thinks the electorate will be D+7 in November is smoking something really strong.

    I could see a D+2 if they gin up their vote, but given both long and short term trends, I suspect the range will be D+1 to R+1 if Trump’s voters are more engaged (and damned near every survey I have sen so far shows that Republicans are more enthused to vote).
