WTF has happened in Wisconsin?  I have thought over the last eight years that it was the least secure of the Blue Wall states.  But polling over the past six weeks has consistently had it as the most secure (occasionally showing it outside the MOE, as is the case here).  What's up with that?

Pennsylvania is always close, but it almost always comes home for the Dems.  I suspect it'll be the same here--five points feels high.  If Harris wins it by more than three points, I'd be surprised.

Pennsylvania is not more Dem than Michigan.  It's just not.  And I don't want to hear any bullshit about Dearborn; Harris is not going to run three points in Pennsylvania ahead of where she is in Michigan.

Joe Biden exiting the race is what happened in PA.  Hopefully, he goes there 5 or 6 more times in the next 7-8 weeks.

Wisconsin feels like an outlier. Honestly if I had to rank them by blueness, it’s Michigan, PA and then Wisconsin

After 2016, WI has elected a Dem governor (a flip from Scott Walker) and two Dem Senators and flipped the state Supreme Court to Dem control.  There was also a referendum pushed by the right, which failed a few weeks ago.

I imagine Walz probably helps with Wisconsin. Fair amount of population likely gets twin city media and similar northern Midwest populism.

Nothing. Wisconsin is a notoriously difficult state to poll. Trump out-performed the RCP average by 6 in 2020 and 7 in 2016. Some very high-quality pollsters were WAY off in those two cycles - but only in determining Trump support. They weren't that far off in the numbers for Hillary (RCP average 46.8; actual 46.5) or Biden (RCP average 51; actual 49.6).

So the key is to look at Kamala's average support. She needs to be consistently at or above 50% in the polls.

I think Wisconsin has a large "ride or die with Trump" group who only show up to vote for Trump. Once he's out of the picture they'll disappear and never vote again.

It is ALWAYS “in two weeks.”

When I worked in "collections", it was always two weeks. 

It was never two weeks.

Correct on MI.  PA has voted for a statewide Dem most recently.  Whitmer & Co single handedly destroyed the Republican party in MI.  Both states, though, have voted Dem for every statewide since 2020 so I find it hard to believe they all vote Trump now.  You'd have to have people who voted Whitmer and Shapiro just two years now vote Trump.  That's not happening.

Also, one more thing on MI.  I go there from time to time and from what I understand, the Muslim vote in Dearborn is a very loud but very small minority.  Unions, the black vote, and suburban whites are a much bigger factor.

Or that losing family to the maga cult makes him very relatable to many people in this country. I'm 100% certain that  either the brother disowned him for being a librul, or refused to stop making it an issue every time they spoke causing the strain in the relationship (this is where I am currently with my mother). That old lady definitely harassed Black folk for sitting at a lunch counter back in her day, maybe even just last week.

This lunch counter make their onion rings in house, cause those can be hard to come by at times.

"Is Kamala Harris's judgement up to the task?"

JFC, the Walz brother story is so pathetic. 

MAGA has become a safe haven for sad and broken people to act out.

Liz Cheney has officially endorsed Kamala

 

 

I had been assuming that endorsement would come after the debate. 

Typically you’re supposed to raise more each month until the election. Trump is going backwards. He also raised like $210m in August 2020, soooo this blows for him

Um, who cares about Liz Cheney?  What does that bring really?

Surprisingly it keeps people like my father (92 and Republican for a long, long time) committed to voting for Harris. He said between me, my step mom and seeing Adam Kinzinger at the DNC, he’s voting against Trump. He sees other Republicans doing the same and it somehow helps.

Well, it brings one vote in Wyoming.  Which I believe is something like 2% of the electorate in that state.

My dad LOVES Liz Cheney. He was already going to vote for Harris, but he's smitten with Liz. Stems from 2020 when he kept waiting for SOMEONE in the party to stand up to the madness. 

He's 70. Voted for Obama, Romney, DNV, Biden. He's a good man, and I'm not going to shit on his love for Liz, even though I think she sucks big time.

Not a damn thing. But, as reprehensible as she is on a ton of other issues, mad respect for completely self-immolating her political career for principles and truth.

Maybe her remaining in the spotlight will help convince other Rs that they'll still be relevant/paid if they leave the cult. Not holding my breath.

Unidos poll of Latinos - Harris 59, Trump 31. On par with 2020 

Mexicans go for Harris 59-30 and she’s tied at 47 with Trump with Cubans. Puerto Ricans go 57-31 Harris

It was a poll of 3000 Latinos. I buy this poll more than the tiny subsamples of 100 or so

Oh, I've known that particular demographic is a lost cause of dumbassery.  But I've always known that.  Lots to love about S. Louisiana folks.  Their politics and intellect ain't among them (Carville is still funny as shit, though).

Hey, 59% of us!  We're better than white folks (only 44% support for Kamala, 49% for Trump)!  Small victories.  "Hispanics: slightly less shitty than white folks" isn't the bumper sticker I was looking for.

Think about it in terms of shit states like W Va. Mining or manufacturing used to be the main industries, and men were the dominant employees. This extends to parts of PA and OH now, as well. Now the men are unemployed or underemployed, and many of them are reliant upon women who work. The women work in healthcare or school jobs. "Not real" jobs per their men. They're resentful and because of that prefer to vote for the supposed mas macho candidate. I'm stealing part of an argument Paul Krugman made earlier this week. edit - then combine that with the percentage of young men who've "invested" in crypto. There's apparently a lot more of those than we tend to think, and they're of course voting for the grifter candidate. 

I can’t recall the exact details but I saw a short form documentary about these underemployed men in WV. When asked if they were open to school or healthcare jobs, their answer was hell no. Maybe the filmmaker edited the video to support his narrative but it was believable.

whats completely backwards is how so many of these voters now support the billionaire class and many are anti-union at the macro level. Perhaps they hope some crumbs will fall to them.
