Youth Vote Discussion Wednesday, The Country Is Better Off, Blinken on Russia, Some New Polls
John Della Volpe Joins Us Wed at 1pm EST - RSVP Today!
Things I am thinking about this morning:
Let’s help Biden make his case on the economy - Yesterday, the White House announced a big new push to sell its economic agenda. This is a moment we’ve been preparing for here at Hopium Chronicles. Check out my new post which talks about this important effort and provides data, links and graphs to help you muscle up and become a more effective champion of the Biden Presidency and its good works.
Our core message - Joe Biden is a good President, the country is better off.
The New NBC News poll has good news for Biden and the Dems - A new NBC News poll released Sunday finds:
Biden leads Trump 49-45
Trump's lead over DeSantis doubles
Dems lead in Cong. Generic 48-46
DeSantis' negatives are dangerously high for this early in the campaign
Be sure to share this encouraging poll with your networks in the coming days.
Also note a new poll has Jewish voters backing Biden 72-22 over Trump, and remarkably, only 13 percent identifying as conservative. Lots of interesting data in this one.

Blinken on Russia’s Ongoing Failures - I found this interview with Secretary of State Tony Blinken by ABC’s Jon Karl really helpful in summarizing where Russia and Putin are now:
“Russia is weaker economically…….It’s weaker militarily. It’s standing in the world has plummeted. It’s managed to strengthen and unite NATO...It’s managed to get Europe off of dependence on Russian energy.”
Look at this ridiculous person running for President -
Be sure to read my new post on why I think DeSantis’ rightward lurch this year is going to be a big problem for the entire Republican Party in 2024 and beyond.
Keep working hard all - Simon
Youth Vote Discussion Wednesday, The Country Is Better Off, Blinken on Russia, Some New Polls
Wish I could remember (I read so many!) where the article was published this morning on poll numbers showing Donnie 3 pts over President Biden!!! Then there was all the talk yesterday about Dems being worried that Donnie can be elected again. I just don't get if it is true. It can't be because the country or an individual isn't better off then they were when Joe took over. We were damn near devistated after the Great Recession. We were on our road to recovery when Barack took over and slid back when Donnie took over. With Joe in office we have completely recovered and are a little ahead. Simon your opinion on those crazy polls. I truly do not believe them
Yesterday on the Bulwark podcast they were also referring to polls that were concerning (Mona Charen and Will Saleten) I tried to figure out where and sample size but could not. Do we just not pay attention right now?
