Here's a bit of encouraging polling news to start the day: FAU/Mainstreet Research show Biden up 2 in a new poll ending 3/17, a gain of 6 points from the same group last month. Net approval improved by 15 points (from -19 to -4).
Thanks for my daily injection of positively constructed common sense. Just downloaded 100 addresses for postcards to Democrats living in AZ encouraging their support for Ruben Gallego. Eager to hear from Big Tent USA later today about how to help Voteriders inform and help NC citizens secure their voter ID. I'm paying it forward here in OH where we will need lots of help getting Sherrod Brown re-elected after today's primary vote!
I just signed up with VoteForward just this morning, and will be hosting letter-writing, phonebanking and postcarding parties each month until Election Day. I'm calling 'em "Work>Worry Wednesdays". (Note: when September/October rolls around, I plan to up the frequency to weekly)
Yes, I really feel there has been a shift in the media presentation of Trump and fortunately it’s not happening too late! However, my big concern is that Republicans win by cheating. And if Manafort joins the campaign, all bets are off regarding mis and dis information. How do we combat that? my friends and I are busy writing postcards, but I remember that Stacey Abrams lost to Brian Kemp for governorship of Georgia, because he cheated, shut down polling places in poor black neighborhoods, and took voters off the polls without telling them. So I’m anxious. Connie Kellogg.
Stormy Daniel firmly holds a rolled-up copy of Forbes Magazine that has Trump on the cover. Camera zooms in on Ms Daniels as she starts to speak…

Thanks Simon for all you're doing to save our democracy. Do you know if the Biden-Harris campaign is pre-testing the ads you showed us in today's post? Latinos are overwhelmingly Catholic (hence likely opposed to abortion) so that focusing on that issue with this cohort seems ill-advised. Issues that resonate more with Latinos are showing how Biden-Harris are pro-small business since many of this cohort are self-employed entrepreneurs. The GQP has appealed to Latinos on this issue i.e. that they're stronger on the economy (which of course you have disproved in your research). Thank you!
Does anyone know if B-H Campaign or DNC or other(s) organizations/ groups are funding field operations (person-to-person contact) in the battle ground states?
Just finished reading an article in The Economist about Latino support waning for President Biden/ Ds in AZ. The support isn't lost but needs to have out reach and the most effective outreach is person-to-person. This is especially effective if the advocate is local to the area. Mi Vecino in FL is a great example of this type of outreach. https://mivecinoflorida.com/ The organization was founded out of frustration with how Ds were working in FL.
With the lack of RNC funding, this seems like a prime opportunity of the Democrats.
Fun statistic from the $53,000,000 February funding raising haul for the B-H Campaign. There are 2.505,600 seconds in the month, which means the campaign raised $21.15/second in the month of February. Pretty impressive.
ironic that money will be the death of Donald Trump. On all fronts. Thanks for your superior reporting, Simon.
Also, Sarah Cooper is amazing! I miss her take on what is happening, with her signature lip-synching. Thanks for giving us her video, a wonderful suprise!
Excellent analysis as always, Simon. I have a question for you and forgive me if you've answered it elsewhere and I missed it: What do you think the chances are for a rebuilding of the real GOP party after Trump's loss in November? Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger, etc. coming together to restore an actual political party or create a new one? I have a feeling Trump will be stirring up s*it until he passes away or is in prison and muzzled that way, but at some point in the future, it seems like the real Republicans will want a party again? How do you think that will play out?
I look forward to Hopium everyday, Simon. I feel empowered to donate to the right candidate at the right time straight from your page, no guessing. You’re writing is positive and filled with actions we can take on our own too. I now Do More and Worry Less.
Another great article Simon.

We can do this! So let's do it!
What a wonderful rendition of Trump by Sarah Cooper! We all need to see this over and over.
Thanks for bringing this back, Simon.
Remember:
TRUMP IS OUT ON BAIL!
(Georgia inmate No. p01135809)
Great post about Latinos.. I plan to share it with Blue CD 2 here in NM.
Would also like some guidance about the Senate races. No rush! Julie

I propose a new Super-PAC ad:

Trump is nearly bankrupt. Party isn't getting financial backing.
Guess who turns up again in Trump World: Paul Manafort.
Smh...I can't even... This guy is a blinking red light that Trump is going to get help from outside the US.
Democrats should 'follow the money' and not let this happen without a fight.
