I’m feeling better about Biden’s chances ։given more than just polling in the past month. The Alabama state senate race and the Enid, OK. Council recall both offer sone hope about cracks in the MAGA facade.

When it comes to polling, I’ve always kept the 1936 Literary Digest presidential election poll debacle in the back of my mind. That situation goes straight to how good one’s polling methodology really is, and it cuts both ways.

What’s important now is to turn Trump’s campaign into the voyage of the Demeter. Before early voting and Election Day, the country needs to see Trump lashed to its wheel, wild eyed and babbling incoherently as the last weak minded MAGA supporters see the horror of what they’ve put their red cap/bumper sticker/porch flag money into.

the figure I would REALLY like to see pollsters report is the ratio between people who answered the questions vs people they called who didn't even pick up the phone. How many calls does it take to get to 600 respondents?
