It’s crazy that the right hates wef/ shadow governments but laps this shit up.
Project 2025 is creepy, unelected, shadow government trying to control your life.

It's from a New York Post article.
This is the best they've got for "Dems in disarray" but they're running with it and it's likely mostly made up.

Democracy doesn’t work for them. Too messy and involves too much compromise
Aka too many immigrants and childless cat ladies get to vote

It's pretty clear that they don't mind authoritarianism. They just require that it's their social ideologies being enforced.

Okay, I don’t think I agree at all with the category names but I think those 3 might be my top right now.

Seems like an impossible story to fact check.

the negative names are a bit harsh but the groupings and rankings seem about right to me.

let's see if the other polls show something similar once they get back onto a normal cycle.

I love the rationalizing bullshit from the host at the end...
I mean, why aren't we allowed to walk back hateful bullshit we said years ago because it's inconvenient for us that people found out about it today? Dude wasn't making some sort of narrow policy focused statement that contrary evidence has since come to light and he's learned from: "Hey, maybe quantitative easing has it's place in certain situations as long as we keep an eye on the 10 yr yield spread". Nah, his point was "women without children are fucking useless to society and should have less of a say than parents have".
How the fuck do you "walk that back" without disavowing the entire worldview that generated it?

So there's 5 polls where the sample started on monday, after Joe quit:
Rasmussen: Trump +7 (lol)
CNN: Trump +3 (except that this was a re-sample of their previous poll)
Marist: Trump +1
Morning Consult Kamala: +1
Reuters: Kamala +2
there's also one other poll that at least includes monday polling (but starts on friday), and that's Yahoo which has the race even.
so it's tied on average when we rightly ignore Rasmussen.
given that the CNN poll was just a re-sample of a previous Trump +6 over Biden poll, that one might be a bit dubious too.
