He’s polling at average 25% lol, this is BS. Blair was polling at 45%+
Burnham is the first truly effective political teacher Labour has had since Blair.

Trump approval now at -22.4, his low point for the term and now lower than at any point in his first term, even after Jan. 6. By comparison, he was at a "mere" -11.6 at this point in 2018.

Polls in traditionally lean/solid blue states (MN, NH, NY) have been pretty mediocre for Dems. But they lead polling in TX, OH, AK, IA. Waves *can* be local, and candidates matter. But if the disparity happens at the magnitude polls suggest rn, that would still be pretty weird.

Polls for Republicans are just getting worse by the day in a way that isn't actually all that common in midterms. It's gotta be mostly the gas prices, although maybe AI anxieties are also reverberating negatively for the GOP. Model update out soon.

we're either approaching a massive blue tsunami and a huge political realignment, or the end of polling as an institution, folks.
