Holy cats, Suzanne, you’re a creative windstorm!

Regarding the election, never mind the polls which show Trump ahead of Biden in most battleground states. The situation is still quite fluid.

For example, Trump polls ahead of Biden in some of the battleground (election-deciding) states- Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. However, the Democratic senate candidates in those states are beating their Republican opponents. Democratic congressman Ruben Gallegos is ahead of Republican Kari Lake, for instance. This could create a reverse coattails effect in November. Normally, down-ballot candidates are pulled up to victory if the person at the top of the ballot wins. In this case, the guy at the top, Biden, could be pulled up to victory by the coattails of the down-ballot Democratic senate candidates. (A voter enters the booth, chooses the Democrat senate candidate, then sorta naturally clicks on Biden as well.)

One more example of why the situation is still developing. Biden is polling in a precarious position here in Michigan. Two things about the polls. 1) They may reflect a lot of “protest” responses by Black and Arab-American voters who are unhappy with Biden’s policies. Most of those voters may end up voting for Biden because they’ll realize they’ll be worse off with Trump. 2) Michigan polls are notoriously bad. True, they may underestimate support for Trump. But they may do the same for Biden.

Bottom line: nothing’s settled. Don’t give up hope.
