@roon0292 Kemp makes sense, dude is popular, but Trump makes no sense. I guess he's not lying about Republican turnout if he's willing to campaign with him given that he had distanced himself from Trump pretty effectively imo.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

This is a mistake on Jackson's part. And I'm all for it.

AJC: Rick Jackson will join Trump at Georgia rally amid slumping GOP turnout

The Republican nominee for Georgia governor had initially planned to skip the president’s visit to Perry on Saturday.

@roon0292 @ajrodz @CincinnatiDem24 Yeah, she eeked it out (it was her district too), but in a much more hostile environment. Gas is over $4.70 in the district, I don't think Rogers can overcome that (and the guy keeps shooting himself in the foot with the Iran War stuff).

The internet remains undefeated.

@roon0292 @ajrodz @CincinnatiDem24 Yeah, there's no way in hell AES is winning MI-7 by double digits. He could win it, win it pretty relatively comfortably even given the state of the economy and gas prices, but not by double digits.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@roon0292 @ajrodz @CincinnatiDem24 He was technically running behind AES, but AES had 51% to Lawrence's 53%. So his vote share was higher, it's just Lawrence's opponent had more support (I also doubt Rogers is only getting 41% of the vote in MI-7).

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

Can't wait for the discourse around the polls despite being the most overrated pollster.

AtlasIntel is definitely gonna dump a bunch of polls during the weekend before the election just like in 2024 and 2025.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@walkeri141 California Democrats are the same. I think a Charlie Baker or Phil Scott Republican could win there, but they keep putting up the worst possible candidates. Vermont Democrats got their wake up call in 2024 (finally).

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

What...? That is weird ass logic.

#MichiganSenate

Undecided voter in Michigan says he is voting for Mike Rogers because he doesn’t want Abdul El-Sayed to win by a lot

“I have this hope that the outcome in Michigan will be that Benson wins by eight points, El-Sayed wins by two or three, and perhaps the future of the Democratic Party won't go down the tubes the way it did for the Republicans.”

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@pikapp30 Way too late. The prices are going to be baked in well passed November 3.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

They must be seeing some troubling polling that has Collins and co. very concerned.

WSJ: Trump Expected to Remove Some Tariffs on Canada in Bid to Help Susan Collins

The move, which could come as soon as Friday, would remove tariffs on some agricultural and forestry goods but could raise levies on other products

I think Brown will get about 2% or 3% of the vote, but I don't see either Paxton or Talarico only getting 45% of the vote.

@CollinsWatch I don't think Jackson or Collins have released internals.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@AnthonyMEmerson And I think most Mainers, I hope, will say "why didn't you do this earlier?" That or they'll buy it the same way they bought the ACB vote (doubtful this time around).

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@TheMaineWonk Though, COVID might throw a wrench in that data.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@TheMaineWonk What did early voting look like in 2020? That was the most recent time Collins was on the ballot.

[Doug @NewEnglandDLM]

@AnthonyMEmerson Jackson did say today that he's surprised she isn't beating him by more. Though, he could have been joking.
