New Marist poll: Trump starts with a net-negative favorability rating, 44% favorable, 49% unfavorable. This destroys the idea Trump has a mandate. Wish Democratic leaders would see these polls and realize Trump is not popular. Stop talking common ground and start fighting!

Do all Dem politicians have rejection sensitivity?

Pritzker is also great, though not sure there's a big appetite in the party for a billionaire nepo baby.
Unsure how everyone hasn't learned their lesson about this.
The reality is the poll sample is DRASTICALLY different than the voting sample.
Plus, let's get away from polling-based values. It sucks.
More a frozen turkey
Consultancy capture has been really bad for the Democratic party.
They keep trying to recreate Obama? They might just be doing that - i.e. Obama was able to emerge via running against the Iraq War, which dogged Clinton during the 2008 Primary.
