The new Free Press Michigan poll, for what it's worth.....

[marmar]

(Detroit Free Press) An exclusive new Free Press poll of likely Michigan voters shows former President Donald Trump has taken a notable 7-percentage-point lead over incumbent President Joe Biden in the state, a result certain to further worry Democrats already pushing for Biden to abandon his reelection bid.

"It's only going to add to the pressure on Biden to step aside and have someone replace him," said Bernie Porn, the pollster for EPIC-MRA in Lansing, which conducted the survey of 600 voters for the Free Press and its media partners. "The Democrats are in a difficult position."

The poll showed Trump, who held a rally in Grand Rapids on Saturday evening, leading Biden 49%-42% in a head-to-head matchup, with 9% undecided, saying they would vote for neither or refusing to answer. In a five-way race, Trump led with 43% to 36% for Biden, 8% for independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and 2% each for Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent Cornel West. Again 9% said they either would not vote for president, pick someone else or were undecided. ...............(more)

5. true enough rubbersole but I don't feel

that many young people are motivated to vote for Joe. We are dead in the water right now thanks to all the infighting. Not gonna say 'dems in disarray' but how the FUCK can we be imploding like this against such a POS like Trump? You have to almost try to fail this badly. Unless we make a big change to someone like Mark Kelly (Whitmer and Newsome want no part of this shit show) then we are screwed. Joe's sick and can't even campaign right now. It's an abject disaster. REPUKES looking for a clean sweep at this point: WH/Congress/Senate...control of all 3 because of the Dems implosion. Never seen anything like it. They stayed the course and kept the train on the tracks with pond scum at the top of their ticket and we're snatching defeat from the jaws of victory it would appear.

6. Thank goodness Americans have a two week attention span.

This dump Biden narrative is media/oligarch/bot driven at this point. When he stays it will revert to "old" with constant clips of example after example. "Polling" will keep it a horse race. Wash, rinse, repeat. My solace comes from election results since 2018. Virtually ALL blue. That said, the fight is far from over. A vast majority of people don't want repub/2025 policies. Three months of tsf repeating a version of the RNC performance. What could go wrong?

9. We need to Willie Horton thier posteriers

The ReptiliCons have gifted us with some wonderful issues. They want to do away with Abortion, Contraception, IVF, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Hit them again and again with the truth in their own words. Remind people of what they have to lose from another Republican administration in power. We can't afford to fail.
