The media doesn't really seem to be holding his feet to the fire like Bush & Katrina. And Dems aren't really blasting much either.
Also, I'm pretty sure the NBC/WSJ poll yesterday - a much better pollster than MC - had Trump underwater on the coronavirus question.
I checked: 45-51 disapprove.

Missed this earlier.All Social Security Field offices closed. Not mentioned in this released but regional offices and Headquarters in Baltimore are hunkering down too.
I've just been starting the process of trying to apply for disability, like very early into it, and they had wanted me to schedule an appointment as apparently there was some mix-up with paperwork that needs to be resolved in person/with an actual meeting, and I was already hesitant to actually do so because of everything surrounding coronavirus, and how I'm the only person in my household who even has the possibility of being a completely homebody right now, in order to make sure that I myself am not a vector for my father getting it in any way and heavily leaning towards putting off the process and just trying again later anyway, but that makes my decision very easy in that case. Definitely very, very understandable given the circumstances.
Especially since an A-pollster just yesterday showed the opposite.

New Scrutiny For 'Putin's Chef' And Russian Mercenaries In Africa
It’s one of Russia’s more notorious, and shadowy, private military companies, believed to be owned by a Kremlin-allied tycoon, and widely believed to have a major presence in the Central African Republic. A Russian state TV segment may have inadvertently added more evidence of its presence there.

That's how racketeering works, yup.

If EVER there was a poll that simply cannot be believed it's one that says more people approve of the way Trump has handled this virus so far than those that don't. Sorry, just can't fathom that being the case. Impossible. I sort of joked a couple days ago that a poll like this would happen and sure enough...
This motherfucker has actively made the situation significantly worse.

This is only just the beginning. That poll is meaningless (they all are right now).
Oh, no. Whatever will we do without our *checks notes* envoy to Northern Ireland?
North Carolina and Arizona keep looking promising. Montana is a surprise too.
The election hasn't been canceled, and nowhere does the original statement say so.
-11 job approval is a really gnarly number. Trump won't have a lot of agency to make it much better tbh.
The Ohio situation is super messed up. Like, what can you do there? what a wreck.

If we're going to fixate on a single poll, why do we always pick ones from B- and C-pollsters?
The recession will be the final test, the absolute final one, to see if there's any sanity left or if we are all Increasingly Nervous Man.
You know why.
Also Trump's approval on this issue at this stage means fucking nothing for November.
Montana was very close in 2008, McCain only won it by about three points.
Also of the 5 Romney/Senate Democrat states from 2012 (MO, IN, ND, WV, MT) it's the only state where the Democrats actually gained ground between then and 2018. Democrats lost the first three and Manchin only held on by three points (still an overperformance, but not nearly as well as he used to win by), but 2018 was the first time Tester even won a majority.
Montana with Bullock on the ballet is such a huge get (thanks to Biden for pulling away to give Steve the cover he needed to run). On a good night, I think Montana and Georgia are huge pickup opportunities.
That's like 3 Senate seats, yes?

I'd love to see a poll of MT-SEN.
edit: there was one in Feb, before Bullock declared, that had Daines 47, Bullock 38.

DeWine is doing this shit on purpose now he is again sending mix messages to people what the fuck

Governor Mike DeWine on Twitter
“They mustn’t be forced to choose between their health and exercising their constitutional rights. 5/5 #COVID19 #COVID19OhioReady”

Nice. Yeah, I remember Montana being very close in 2008 and I enjoyed giving it a not-impossible blue tint in my 270towin.com scenarios.
Seems that out of all those rural states, Montana has managed to avoid going down the path of others that have only gotten redder. Well, Idaho and Utah also don't seem to be going any redder than they are, but Montana seems to be different. Ditto Alaska.
For a while, my nickname for Morning Consult has been "Morning Cold-water". and i see its still living up to that name.
Should be pointed out that, for whatever reason, that poll asked about all the Democrats on the ballot with Daines. The field combined got 53%.
Shit, now all Bernie's momentum following his savage humiliation of Biden in front of billions of people on live TV will be for nothing!
(Like 8 hours before polls open and there'd been a ruling just hours prior that it had to go on? lol)
Good news, OH! No matter what you do next, there's no way in hell your delegates are going to count this year.

Like yeah, at this point, whatever happens in Ohio, as sad as the whole thing is, I hope the DNC just ends up voiding their delegates at this point, because that's insane.
Like, if Michigan and... Florida was it? trying to move their primaries ahead in an illegal fashion in 2008 got their delegates voided, like, the same thing certainly should apply to Ohio at this point with how this whole mess has been handled, right?
Because he is doing it on purpose in the middle of the night. People will STILL show up confused as fuck.
This is a test for November. He can not unilaterally do this and hiding behind a health emergency is bullshit.
I find that they waited until today to do this incredibly suspect.
The only logical thing to do is to retroactively cancel all primaries after Nevada and nullify those delegates. Duh. That's just common sense.
Yeah, I don't mind the idea of just blanking everything (though this is a tad late for that), but being able to magically do so like 2 hours before election day? Screw that.
DeWine isn't canceling directly but instead appealing to the Health Director, whose order likely does NOT violate the court's decision.
In theory, if a state doesn't hold a vote on federal election day, it would just surrender any electoral votes, wouldn't it? Though I'm sure you could cook the books to make sure only absentee ballots collected by X date would end up counting or something, or pull other legal bullshit.
It's got more of a chance to get challenged now than if they'd first pulled this stunt in November, at least.
This is bullshit all the polls are CLOSED the it cant happen due to his actions.
