Desantis too. No, we don't know how all the moving pieces will play out! Gonna be a wild ride. Were you referring to a MA senate poll for Kerry? Cuz he was ahead in pre-election day polls and exits in 2004. National that is. Didn't realize Rs were bastardizing polls back in 2007

Agree tho... If we just throw out a guess, that the country is 50-50 it means 20% aren't behind it. Rough #s of course. These people may indeed vote D in the end ! But will they be enthusiastic and work? likely not... Probably what happened to HRC.

I think what bothers me the most about this poll is that if it's age concerns, he's not gonna get any younger. And if it's accomplishments, Like you said, it will be difficult to remedy given lane duck position. Here's hoping economy turns around.

Of course all bets are off if ex prez Dipshit I nominee. Actually that would really help JB!

We have strategists?
