(4,436 posts)I just looked at the latest polling here:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/20200921_MS.pdf
And they are right! The republican has slipped HUGELY down in popularity, and its now a 41%-40% , with 18% undecided. And the highest republican numbers are all the over 75 year old whites, who may, or may not show up.
Ill chip in ten bucks just for fun.

(14,176 posts)I'd love it if they could also send a little love to Mr Espy--and, frankly, I wish some of the progressive media would pay more attention to him. Things are crazy this year and even if he ends up losing, making repubs dedicate resources to more races is always a good thing.
