I heard some extremely bad analysis of Biden's polling this morning, about how his "handling of the economy" numbers were bad and this was worrisome. Normally, yes, this would be true.
However, there are two major things left off this calculus.
First, Donald Trump will almost certainly be the GOP nominee. Only death or some form of GOP shenanigans will prevent him from winning the nomination. That will make the election a referendum on January 6th. Plain and simple.
Second, the rank and file GOP seem increasingly obsessed with bullshit culture war issues that are mystifying and off-putting to those suburban voters that are increasingly providing Democrats with their margins of victory.
Banning books? I mean if it worked for Hitler, why not JV Hitler?
If that wasn't bad enough, who in their right mind goes after Dolly Freaking Parton?
Glenn Youngkin won the governorship of Virginia - I'm convinced - because of Covid school restrictions. However, the GQP has convinced itself that it was really "parental freedom," which means banning books and being moral busybodies in other people's kid's schools.
I really don't think that's going to prove to be a very popular position.
