It's GSS data btw
tl;dr
what the fuck is GSS
General Social Survey
From the University of Chicago, they do their own exit polls and such
ah UChicago is pretty legit
What I read so far was good but I'll read the entire thing when I get home
I like this guy, he actually does some leg work ya kn
Ow
I wish he wouldn't say anything though, I want democrats to say self confirmed of a November victory
XD
Would have the same effect as in 2016
"The Democrats’ obsession with all things Russia is just another example of how out-of-touch they are with the electorate."
Won't matter
Come November they'll just use that as a rally cry to energize their base
They're really going to focus on things like free healthcare and stuff
And win with that
lol here's one of the comments
"After reading this and Thomas Edsall's piece in today's Times, I've concluded what I've suspected for a long time: Mr. Bliss has got it right. Educated Dems -call them the well-informed clueless of which I am a member- are tilting at windmills; their manifest hallucinations, i.e. Scott Pruitt, provide meaning and passion to our cause, but are, as Bliss asserts, invisible to all but nine other voters.
I've been teaching political science in a purple section of Ohio for 20 years. My "blue" students typically exhibit textbook egocentrism. They literally cannot understand how their fellow "red" students think, or specifically could vote GOP. The "red" students don't seem to suffer the same affliction. They have a handful of issues they prioritize -abortion, military readiness, the Second Amendment- and without guile or fixations on psycho-babble, vote reliably.
There's a nauseating amount of talk about Trump's bubble -Trumpworld, the Trumpsphere, Trumperica, etc.- but the bubble blinding the well-informed clueless is like the imaginary Blue Wall that was believed a redoubt to protect their presidential hopes and simply exchange two letters of Blue Wave into L's.
Wake up. Turn off Rachel Maddow, and be afraid. Be very afraid."
President Trump's decision to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un:
Approve 77%
Disapprove 18%
@CNN 5/2-5

The way Donald Trump is handling the situation with North Korea:
Approve 53%
Disapprove 35%

Wow! Good polls!
"If the Democrats somehow manage to take the House or prevent the Republicans from gaining eight seats in the Senate, it will be a shocking and astonishing surprise that will make Trump's 2016 victory seem perfectly normal and predictable by comparison. The truth is that Democrats and old-fashioned McCain-style Republicans are relics of a forgotten America. The new America has embraced Trump, and by November his approval will be well above 50% even in the non-Rasmussen polls. Soon Democrats won't even have the power to manage a filibuster, and the dismantling of the old America can begin in earnest.
There really isn't anything Democrats can do in terms of messaging or policy. The fact is that Trump's message works. All the hatred, bile and stupidity that he beats into the heads of Americans every day is bringing out the worst in us, and there is no defense against it. The media is on his side, repeating and amplifying his words 24/7 and making his caveman mentality an inescapable touchstone of our culture. We are all living in his made-up fantasy world and there's nothing we can do about it. America is gone, and we as a people have proven through our complacence and sheltered ignorance that we do not deserve the great nation that our founding fathers built."
""...the Russia thing..."
I'm 70 years old, and since before I was born Russia has been our single greatest, most hostile enemy. Their leaders hate everything we stand for, and still want to "bury us".
Khruschchev once bragged that capitalists would manufacture the rope that communists would use to hang them. Today Russia is using (American-invented) computers and Internet to attack our democracy. Even if they failed to affect the outcome of the 2016 election, they tried, and the crime is in the attempt not in any success.
There is evidence -but not yet proof- that the Trump campaign cooperated with Russia in this effort. That would be treason, plain and simple.
There are no "alternative facts" to this narrative.
For most of my life Republicans have been chiding Democrats about not taking the Russia threat seriously. Where are they now?"
lol at NYTimes boomers
NK is a very good thing for Trump, have said it all along. The visibility will only increase as we get into these summits and more situations like the hostages being released, like in the poll, more people will be forced to admit Trump has been right on the money with Korea, which will be great for approval, and ergo, great for the midterms in depressing democrat enthusiasm to vote, and improve independent relations with the GOP.
lol holy shit
yeah, this is the reason I'm saying there's no race that is truly impossible to win
imagine Sherrod Brown or Bill Nelson getting a stroke a month before, then getting promptly replaced by a Roy Moore type figure
hell, imagine that happening to Kirsten Gillibrand or Elizabeth Warren
@Deleted User Elizabeth Warren unexpectedly dies of small pox
trump curse
Wrong
They will always have the power to filibuster
Unless we win 60+ seats since Collins and Alaska woman will vote against us
If that one guy from MN-07 dies, then that shifts the whole race
what am I wrong about ? I'm just talking about the hypothetical effects of candidates dying or getting embroiled in massive scandal before the election
The article you posted said was wrong was all I said
