The attached chart shows presidential election margins since 1980. The red line is the average of the previous five elections. https://t.co/Mi4fEj7KDn https://t.co/cBgZZv3UjJ in reply to Capital_JT

- 14:06:48 Retweeted @briantylercohen 06:59:41 Beto is polling at 2%. He could beat Cornyn in TX.
Hickenlooper is polling at 1%. He could beat Gardner in CO.
Bullock is polling at 0%. He could beat Daines in MT.
Stacey Abrams isn’t even running. She could beat Perdue in GA.We *need* the Senate in 2020.

- 14:13:50 Retweeted @Ibishblog 13:56:57 Only Roberts – a lifelong republican but also a self-described defender of the court’s integrity – might defect to preserve traditional checks and balances. But counting on a single person’s institutional imperatives and integrity seems desperate & naive.
https://t.co/OkJTIAU50C - 14:26:14 Excellent thread on how to read polls. (I added the poll he uses as an example to @ElectionGraphs last night, and since I just use simple averages, it shook things up a bit there. I’ll have a blog post later today on the changes.) https://t.co/SXpvevgMpS https://t.co/EoSnL1Nvwk
- 16:39:24 Retweeted @gelliottmorris 16:15:28 Re: Odds and 2020: A month ago I thought we were underrating the chances of a contested convention. With Biden now in the race and a lot more polling available, I think we’re underrating the chance that he just cleans up in the early states and coast to victory.
- 18:42:44 Retweeted @drvox 18:40:30 On this, as on so many public-opinion questions, my instinct is that public opinion is shallow & fragmented & *subject to shaping by strong leadership*. Public opinion on impeaching Trump is not some pre-existing thing to be discovered, it’s something to be *created*. https://t.co/lNMe9mBV1l

The horror! https://t.co/n15UfLWsEJ
