Here's some interesting news regarding the election......a GOP warning.

With all the focus on a slew of new polls that show President Donald Trump falling further behind former Vice President Joe Biden, one number has largely slipped through the cracks -- and it is a blaring warning signal to Republicans on the ballot this fall.

Here it is: 51% of registered voters said they would prefer a Congress controlled by Democrats in 2021, while just 40% preferred a Republican-controlled Congress, according to a new Wall Street Journal-NBC poll released Sunday. That marks a change in Democrats' favor from January when the party had just a 6-point edge over the GOP on what is known as the "generic ballot" question.
(Side note: it's called the "generic ballot" because no specific candidates named are used. Just the two parties.)
The generic ballot has long been used by political handicappers as a sort of blunt instrument to understand voter sentiment. Think of it as a sort of weather vane that tells you which way the political winds are blowing and, roughly, how strongly.
Traditionally, small edges for either party (3 points or under) on the generic ballot tend to indicate small-ish gains in Congress for that side. But once one side has a double-digit lead in the generic ballot, look out! That tends to correlate with much larger seat switches.

Just saw my friend's nephew marching in Sun Prairie, WI......

small bedroom town outside Madison. Mostly young folks........and who said they better get off their ass and do something. They really make me proud. Really kinda reminds me of the Vietnam protests too.......change will come because this is a major protest.

I am so done with all the "news" now.......riots is all it is.....not a word about Covid-19

I just can’t watch anymore......and not that the virus was more entertaining. I’m done for awhile. Back to Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler Moore and free movies on HD Net movie channel. Just can’t handle it anymore. See ya later.
