5 Polls Show Biden Gains, New Biden J6 Ad, Let's Keep Making June Count!

New Event - Wed, June 18, 1pm ET - With Democrats, Things Get Better

Happy Thursday all, got a few things for you today:

Biden Gains In Five Polls Now - As I wrote on Tuesday we’ve started seeing meaningful movement to Biden in new polling. 4 polls - CBS, NYT, Morning Consult, Yahoo/YouGov - have shown movement to Biden of 2 points or more. Today we got a fifth. Echelon, a Republican pollster, found Biden gaining 4 points since their last poll, going from 46-49 to 48-47. A highly credible Democratic polling consortium, Navigator, found Biden ahead nationally this week, 48-44 (4 pts).

I think it would be reasonable for Trump’s 34 felony convictions to shift the election 2-3 points toward Biden, and that is what many polls are showing now. It’s why assertions that Trump leads or is favored can no longer be backed up by data.

Yesterday I wrote about why this issue of who is doing better in polling is so central to the 2024 election. Simply, it’s all they have, and we need to take it away from them.

It is a close, competitive election, with Biden having a bit of momentum now and a much clearer path to 270. If we do the work we can and should win.

Remember:

Joe Biden is a good President. The country is better off. We have a very strong case for his re-election.

The Democratic Party is strong, winning elections across the country, raising tons of money and in the process of building the most powerful political machine we’ve ever had.

And what do they have? They have Trump, the ugliest political thing we’ve ever seen - rapist, fraudster, traitor, felon - whose campaign and party is far more a raging dumpster fire than something to be feared.

Wed, June 19th, 1pm ET - With Democrats, Things Get Better - Every other month I do a new and updated showing of my signature presentation about American politics, With Democrats, Things Better. It is a data-filled journey through American politics since the Cold War ended and a new age of globalization began. What it finds is that when Democrats have been in power in America, things get better. With Republicans we’ve gotten recessions, higher deficits, American decline and now an all-out assault our democracy and American global leadership. This presentation is the source of many of the economic charts and graphs you see here at Hopium. I promise you will enjoy it and find it useful in your advocacy for Joe Biden and Democrats.

You can register for the live presentation here, and if you can’t make it live a recording will be shared here on Thursday the 20th. Hope everyone can try to watch With Dems this month - I promise it will leave with a little more pep in your step!

New Biden Trump Is An Insurrectionist Ad - This new ad started running in the battlegrounds today:
