Lots of pushback on today's New York Times/Siena poll that showed Benedict Donald winning in key states in 2024. Here's one take on it from a favorite political prognosticator:
"This poll is so laughably unrealistic, you can safely dismiss it even without diving into the specific methodology. But those who have dived in have quickly figured out that the poll dramatically under-samples key voting groups, and appears to massively over-sample people who didn’t even vote in 2020. The poll also claims that Trump is outperforming with younger voters — a demographic that overwhelmingly despises him."
So maybe it's good that our Sunday Times didn't get delivered today. Guess we didn't miss anything!
What we want to be sure not to miss, however, are some key races that are taking place this Tuesday, not 12 months from now.
Importantly, Virginia. The political media always set Virginia up as a bellwether for next year's national mood, which sometimes applies and sometimes doesn't. For example, Republican Glenn Youngkin won the Governorship in 2021, but it didn't portend a massive red wave in the 2022 midterms. In 2019, however, the anti-Trump vote that turned out presaged 2020's, when Joe Biden racked up a seven-million-vote margin.
Still and all, we don't want to give the awful cable news talking heads any GOP victories to rub in our furry faces. So, let's all pitch in and throw some dollars Virginia Democrats' way.
Delegate Danica Roem (above) is running for State Senate. If you'd like to donate to her campaign, click here. Click here to give to Virginia House Democrats, and here to donate to Virginia Senate Dems.
As for our 2023 wild-card race — one in a deep-red state that shows tantalizing possibilities — we're picking Brandon Presley, who's running for Governor of Mississippi. Incumbent Republican Tate Reeves is corrupt and unpopular. And, of course, Presley is related to Mississippi's most famous native son. So we've decided to say "Let's Go, Brandon" (for real) to the tune of a few bucks. You can do the same here.
