From an NPR/Marist poll:

https://www.npr.org/2019/07/22/743516166/npr-newshour-marist-poll-americans-not-sold-on-trump-or-democrats

“Medicare for All” — that is, a national health insurance program for all Americans that replaces private health insurance

42% support

Medicare for all that want it — that is, allow all Americans to choose between a national health insurance program or their own private health insurance

70% support

There’s a valid case here that you could move public sentiment on this, and for what it’s worth I personally believe you could move it, but the current reality is that M4A becomes unpopular when you tell people the truth, which is that you cannot keep your current insurance under M4A.

Yeah no poo poo when you frame it as "the plan that takes away your insurance vs. an option you can choose from" the poll numbers go down. Your original post was "lets change the framing from 'leftist' to 'not popular'" you already showed what your real intent was here.

Here's a nice breakdown on dishonestly framed polling like you're claiming here: https://www.citizen.org/article/getting-the-polling-straight-on-medicare-for-all/

He's had no problem making GBS threads on Fox News whenever they've been insufficiently detached from reality. I'm sure he can rationalise it away as Fake News and flip over to OANN, where he's never not the greatest leader in human history.

If you are reporting on what you are seeing in TN, then it was probably part of a national ad. We know their local ad buys, and it doesn't include TN.

Trump’s going to a hate rally in Macon, GA. None of this makes sense for a campaign that’s supposedly “winning big” or that thinks the polls are wrong. Also, someone in the poll thread said they are using his rallies as polling.

‘Rona Romney posted today stats from his super spreader event last night. If you have to rely on those numbers and not your internal polls or widely accepted polls, you’re not doing well.

Yeah this.

While I'll be happy to see Trump go I'm not all that excited or optimistic about Biden as a president...however on the Senate, HoR, and other state levels a big rear end Blue Wave has some real potential to shake things up in a good way. Both in the short and long term especially with redistricting coming up.

Longer term I'm just hoping the D's will get pushed farther Left as more AOC types get elected and the Establishment/Corporate wing of the party either ages out or loses office. But that is going to be fairly long term (maaaaaaybe 2028-2030?? D Boomers essentially have to die off too for it to happen I think) if it happens at all.

Well, here's the thing. With things being as utterly hosed as they are, it's going to take radical change just to achieve the "normalcy" that so many of Biden's voters are craving. It's an opportunity to make some changes that should have been made a long fuckin time ago.

ACB is the perfect reverse weaponization of idpol bullshit that the right usually fails at. On the surface she's just a generic christian lady with a big family including adopted and special needs kids, and the entire republican counter messaging has been 'how can you say she'd be anti-obamacare, she's a MOTHER' or 'anti-women's rights? She herself is a woman!' or 'you assume she's anti-gay because she's christian? How bigoted of you!' I'm sure a lot of these suburb types Biden decided is his new coalition likes her because she's the ur suburban white woman bigot. She'll never get the RBG cult of personality, especially once she, ya know, starts ruling on things like the tooth grinding christian cult member pyschopath she is, but I bet before Joe's even out of office she becomes 'the good Trump judge' to a lot of nominally progressive people.

I really do wonder what turnout will be this year. It was 55% in 2016, 54.9 in 2012 and 59% in 2008. I could easily see it cracking 60% this year with the way things are going. The last time it did was 1968 and with all of the dumb "Trump is going to run on Law and Order and win like Nixon did in '68!" takes, it would be even more funny.

I've seen projections of 65%.
