After Trump's 2016 expectation-defying win, pollsters and strategists made adjustments aimed at better capturing Trump supporters.
Now, Democrats say the polls are missing key voter dynamics on their side.
"There are certain communities that are missed," added Warnock, who narrowly ousted Republican Kelly Loeffler in a 2021 runoff.
Still, Democratic Senate candidates in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are running well ahead of Biden and lead their Republican rivals, according to the latest New York Times/Sienna survey.
What they're saying:
"It's early," Sen. Bob Casey (D-Penn.), who led Republican challenger David McCormick by five percentage points in the survey, told Axios.
"Every candidate, whether it's the president or me — we have to work every day to earn people's votes."
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) also told Axios elections in his state are always going to be close, but he predicted Biden would win. He added that he would like to see Biden and Vice President Harris visit Arizona more.
Sen. Marco Rubio won't commit to accepting 2024 election results
Rubio’s refusal to say if he would accept the results of the 2024 election is notable
because he did vote to certify the presidential election for then-president-elect Joe Biden.
At the time, he said, “Democracy is held together by people’s confidence in the election and their willingness to abide by its results.”
My 6 year old says he saw a kiwibird, but we live in Oregon, USA. I'm trying to find similarly shaped birds to show him so we can figure out what it was but although we loved the woodcock dance videos (thanks Mom!) they don't live on this coast. Any other ideas?
Boosts great if you've got birder friends who might have good ideas!
Fuck The Hill and Douglas MacKinnon for this absolutely idiotic analysis. Another hit piece by disgraced purveyor of disinformation, Douglas MacKinnon. Read the room, you Right-Wing moron!
I’m observing a consistent background drone on Mastodon attacking President Biden over US Gaza policy.
While I disagree with the USA’s complicity with Israel in Gaza, and have complained about it often in smaller forums, the consensus is:
Keep some level of perspective and pragmatism. Under no circumstance can you not vote for Biden and expect a better outcome for Gaza and Palestinians. You want to help them? YOU ARE NOT by enabling Trump as POTUS to team up with Netanyahu. 🔥🤔
Republicans in Florida won't allow state agencies to use climate change as a policy priority.
Meanwhile, over the past 80 years, sea levels have risen approximately one foot, with eight inches of that increase occurring in the last 30 years, according to Brian McNoldy.
“The workers in Vance have spoken, and they have spoken clearly! Alabama is not Michigan, and we are not the Sweet Home to the UAW. We urge the UAW to respect the results of this secret ballot election.” - Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey following VW workers voting against unionization
👎🏻😡“Workers at two Mercedes-Benz factories near Tuscaloosa, #Alabama, voted on Friday against joining the United Automobile Workers, a stunning blow to the union’s campaign to gain ground in the South, where it has traditionally been weak.” #UAW
It keeps getting more pathetic: Republican Rep. Andy Ogles says he is introducing the 'Let Trump Speak Act' that he claims will lift the gag order on his cult leader Donald Trump (it won't).

UNITED STATES 🇺🇸: The Economist reports that over the past 12 months, the US government has 'spent $2 trillion, or 7.2% of GDP, more than it has raised in taxes'
The #republicans are counting on the poorly educated and gullible to get them elected this year. It’s sad just how easily led some people are. #gop are master liars and all we can do is call them out when we see the lies.
