Simon -- Introduce yourself to Robert Reich and his hundreds of thousands of followers who were exposed to the bull that is the WSJ poll. I advised them to chill.

You are the BEST PR person in the Biden campaign. Keep up the great work!

Simon, so glad you are so visible. I was listening to Pivot and Kara started going down the rabbit hole of polls with DT leading. Fortunately her son was on and mentioned he was at the NYT when you were interviewed to give your take on the polls. He is a great your advocate for Joe and Democracy.

I’m sharing this widely. There is such attitude out there. And we need facts not people trying to sell negatives for profit. We are all better off with Democrats. I look forward to that happening again when, along with our great President Biden, we once again in Ohio re-elect Senator Sherrod Brown. One of the best ever.

Hate to use the old Nixon term, but the “nattering nabobs of nagativism” are always at it.

Please do not forget Sherrod Brown's campaign for the Senate in Ohio. We cannot loose this seat, Sherrod does a fabulous job for the people. Ohio already has one idiot Republican Senator and another would be disastrous.

I became a Simon fan at the 2020 election. I saw him on the YouTube station The Meidas Touch and he was the only positive person about Biden winning. He also said that the Republicans were too far behind to have early voting work for them. I believe that has proven to be true. I do not listen to polls after the 2016 fiasco. Whether you like Biden or not it has come down to one thing Biden or Trump. It is about what is happening HERE before we move on to outside the U.S. I continue to be on the positive wave based on facts supported by Simon. Yes, work to do but I believe we got this.

Can’t wait to see you in Maricopa County! Looking forward to hearing your optimism at the event and getting us all extra jazzed. We are pretty solid Dems here! 💙

All good trends, for sure.

Question: is it time to crystallize all of this into a “Daisy” type of message that grabs people by the neck as that 1964 spot did v Goldwater?

We’ve got the Jan 6th mob attack on our democracy and police officers; (Karl Rove is right for a change)… we’ve got the attack on women’s freedom/reproductive health care; we’ve got gun violence that Trump denies; we’ve got climate change horrors that Trump denies; we’ve got Trump pal-ing around with Putin and other strongman autocrats; we’ve got Biden’s strong economy/jobs; infrastructure/better and safer roads and bridges; we’ve got Biden’s CHIP manufacturing; Biden’s lower prescription drug prices … etc

We have evil personified in Trump.

Connect all the dots for a “Daisy” type message to grab people by the throats.

Too quaint? Too idealistic?

Look. Money also serves as psychological strategy and ground operations BUT money does not always win elections. Voters win elections and even uneducated voters count. So, all I am focusing on is that the messaging and education of an uneducated electorate must be direct and simple and entertaining. Smart pundits in DC are seen as enemies of the people. Uneducated voters need to see for example farmers losing their farms because no one wants to work for them and immigrants can farming restored for farmer. One way to do that is to create tax incentives for farmer that hire immigrants and provide revenue sharing for farm workers.

Simon, what’s your view on the Maryland senate election? I would hate to see Larry Hogan use his “moderate” brand in order to hand the senate over to MAGA ….

Question: I’m unable to paste-in images in this comment section (I am v partial to graphs). Ideas?

In a rational world the polls would not be close, even at this stage; and we wouldn’t need to have enough $$ on hand to spend on campaigns instead of food and shelter and other needs of Americans 😳. The voter suppression needs to be addressed directly with help to folks who’ve been dropped from the rolls to reinstate them in the face of opposition to the John Lewis Voting Rights Act in Congress by Republicans, the party of chaos!

The fact that young voters are a significantly larger share of new registrants in North Carolina than in 2020 and 2022 is very interesting and highly promising. Percentages are fine and well.

But HOW MANY newly registered voters are there in NC? How many newly-registered Democrats compared to new Republicans and new "unaffiliated"? I didn’t see that above. Really grateful if anyone here has those numbers.
