Okay, here is one that I didn’t expect. The Bullfinch Group got a well deserved F grade for having a 6.28 point skew to Democrats in their polling. So I saw that they polled California 6 where Kiley, the Republican, is trying to win in an upset by running as an independent.
All of the toupee carrying prognosticators have this one LIKELY or SAFE DEM.
So I would expect Bullfinch to tell us that its Kiley 38 / Pan 52 (D+14)
Instead they have it tied at 37. Not sure why they didn’t press the undecided. Or maybe they did and didn’t like the result.

Some factors that weigh on oil (and consequently fuel) prices.
5 is important. So it is not only accounting for let’s say oil flowing through Hormuz TODAY is normal, it is the market expectation that oil will CONTINUE to flow at normal rates and what are the risks that it won’t.
Oil flowing through Hormuz today will take weeks/months to be processed into fuel. If there is a shortage, prices will reflect that shortage until the fuel is actually available.
Cheapest gas in my area today is $4.29. Unless it is under say $3.50 by election day, this will hurt Rs up and down the ballot.
Fair? Maybe not. As DW points out, people voting in Dems because gas prices are too high are cutting their noses to spite their faces. They are voting in people that would make gas $10 a gallon in a nanosecond if they had the power to do so.
But life isn’t fair. Trump needs to get gas prices down.
