Jonathan Martin's bad mood over the election continues to spiral as he grumbles about Trump's latest blunder and sounds exactly like an exasperated 'stick to policy' Republican pundit, then takes shots at the Harris team's well-received Swift lyric joke:

A longer thread of Vance's train wreck interview with Bash: And a damning, non-paywalled NYT investigation into John Roberts' influence on recent SCOTUS decisions.

If you liked that, you'll love this. Meanwhile:

This is only state polling for Iowa, but is a striking change from how Trump was doing there in June against Biden. (And it's a pre-debate poll.)

But it doesn't move new votes. And it alienates the middle (and yes, some of his peeling base) further. That's his problem, and that's why Harris is opening up since the debate.

Felicia has been pretty present over the last year IMO.

The outlier here (Atlas) also was pushing Herschel Walker beating Warnock a few years ago, I believe. It's also a conservative think tank. Judging by the above, it hasn't.

Trump and Vance's people are apparently livid about this piece and targeting Bouie.

Quantus is a nobody poll here. Meanwhile: I am loath to post Yashar, but:

Meanwhile, no, this is not going to energize his numbers or magically find new voters eager to vote for inciting bomb threats against schools. This is both disgusting and very bad for Trump/Vance.

Smart. There are no actual numbers, just the Harris team spinning claiming they're weak (which post-debate state polls are not bearing out) to keep energizing the base.

lol don't go in there. Meanwhile: The Loomer saga is breaking through. I used to have these same questions about Hope Hicks for the record, but most access journos like Haberman, Nuzzi, etc. all fostered personal relationships with Hicks. Loomer is too rabid for that.

The Atlantic once again takes a bold contrarian stance, only to get ratioed and fall on its face mid-article while the author begins equivocating on Twitter admitting his own headline is wrong and responding to Trump bots created in July.

Twenty years ago.
