Something’s happening here …

C’mon people, now


Another little data point to consider:

Our most recent NBC News poll contained one more set of numbers about how November’s upcoming election doesn’t look like your traditional midterm.

Persuadable voters are breaking towards the party controlling the White House and Congress, which is unlike what we saw in 2010, 2018 or even earlier this year.

Our poll defines “persuadable voters” — representing about 25% of the sample — as registered voters who are not core Democrats or Republicans, meaning that they’re either hard independents or Democrats/Republicans who aren’t reliable party backers.

These voters are disproportionately males, ideological moderates, self-identified independents and those living in the exurbs.

Having the little people not sending in their crumpled fives and tens means those people are also less likely to go out in the cold to vote for them. It sounds like people are burning out on scandal after scandal.
