***POLL**** Marquette National Poll (A+): Harris 53 Trump 47

[geo1]

18. What strikes me is Harris polling above 50% and the low percentage undecided voters

Hard as it is for us political news junkies to believe, there are a lot of folks out there who don't pay that much attention to the news or the issues and decide whether to vote and who to vote for the last minute. And those folks want to "like" the candidate they are voting for, as if it was a high school popularity contest. I was all in for HIllary when she ran - phone banked as well as donated - so I remember well the major problem a lot of folks had with her is that they didn't "like" her. Lots of folks sitting on the fence going down to the wire, and they swung to Trump when the Comey thing hit the fan. Kamala and Tim have the "likeablity" thing going on. They also have (so far, knock on wood) the Democratic Party united behind them. Things are looking very good, sleeping a lot better at night, but sure can't get complacent. Hoping all are thinking about ways we can get out there and do our part to keep this trend going to the finish line.
