Ain't America great? If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. One day you're a certifiable nonentity from Missouri, and the next, you've broken the interwebs because you made a fool of yourself before the entire world in a Senate hearing.
Everywhere we turn online, there he is — the hapless harlequin known as Eric Schmitt, whose staff had apparently just teased a story to the press that floated him as a possible future VP, because they were so sure they'd have a Jack Smith bombshell today to ride into 2028 on. And it blew up in his face. SAD!
Meanwhile, both the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball have pushed more races the Democrats' way, as Trump dithers while gas, diesel, and groceries go through the roof (and consumers' pocketbooks). A couple of Marist polls from Ohio got our attention recently: Sherrod Brown ahead of Jon Husted in the Senate contest 51 percent to 43 percent, and Amy Action leading Vivek Ramaswamy for the governorship 50 to 44 percent. (Also be sure to check out Sherrod's new ad about how poor Americans don't understand money. Brutal and hilarious.)
Marist is a university poll, so there's no bias. It's possible that their methodology or sampling system is different from other pollsters' — for example, they have 6 percent undecided, so they're not pushing respondents to make a choice. But all or almost all of the credible polls have moved two to three points toward the Democrats in the last two weeks. They can't all be fake or problematic.
We don't know how much voter anger is building out there or whether anything else can happen to upset current trend lines. Our only advice is to ignore the noise, and keep working and giving. We cats PURR.
