In 2021, 11 of the 12 months were revised upward in the initial revisions

In 2008, 11 of 12 were revised down but in 2010 11 of 12 were revised up

Directionality does tend to happen when there’s some underlying economic “event” happening, whether recovery or turmoil

Prob made worse by doge cuts

I'll put it this way: a wide range of ppl responding to a meh jobs report with "bullshit, no way this is real" is, near term, extremely bad for the current administration
People thinking the jobs report is fake is not limited to Bluesky, the entire FT comment section is saying it’s fake

(And it’s not fake, funnily enough.)

Interesting finding from NBC/SurveyMonkey on how very few people have protested ICE relative to their support in the public.

And this likely overindexes among politically engaged people, so the actual number of protest participants is even lower.

Our lives would all probably improve slightly if Trump fired some of his Bad Boyars, which makes it all the more insane that no one has gotten fired.

I think this is a good explanation for why a lot of lefty people are so AI-hostile. bad timing had a lot of people's bullshit sensors flagging false positives (in a space that, complicating matters, had a non-trivial amount of real bullshit)
the immediately prior round of tech hype on social media being NFTs and bitcoin really miscalibrated a lot of people

This has happened nationally today, granted it's NBC/SurveyMonkey, but that's the best we're getting these days.

The sample went from Trump +1 in 2024 to Harris +8 today

So, nonvoters and some Trump voters are experiencing serious buyer's remorse.

Interesting q here: "If you could go back to November of 2024 and vote again, who would you vote for?"

Harris wins 48-37. She won Minnesota by ~51-47 in actuality, so this is almost 3 times her actual margin of victory.

Some people are having buyer's remorse, huh?

Replies and quotes to this are peak Bluesky reading comprehension
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 7k) gives me some methodological concerns. They allowed people to rate their pun making as "outstanding" but, statistically, most are sitting indoors at the time

So, the Mandelson scandal hasn’t moved the electorate at all. Insane.
UK (GB), YouGov poll:

LAB-S&D: 19%
CON~ECR: 18%
GREENS-G/EFA: 16% (-1)
LDEM-RE: 14%
SNP-G/EFA: 3%
PC-G/EFA: 2%

+/- vs. 01-02 February 2026

Fieldwork: 08-09 February 2026

core part of the ostensible economic justification for mass deportation was that Americans would rush in to take all the jobs immigrants left, but now unemployment rates for native born Americans are rising and the admin is sending people out to do damage control

FL-02 is Trump +18, Scott +22, Dunn +23 (the House R)

Would be a borderline tossup if there's a special. But DeSantis can hold this seat open for a long time.

Reminder that Puerto voted in a 30% landslide in favor of statehood over any other status option that is neither territorial, nor colonial — with nearly equivalent turnout to the concurrent Governor election!
The 2024 Puerto Rico Status Plebiscite—a contest modeled after the Nydia Velazquez+AOC/Jenniffer Gonzalez Colón Compromise PR Status act's 1st round pitted the non-territorial/non-colonial options of Stathood, Independence with Sovereign Free Assosiation, and Full Independence against each other

NV-02

2020: Trump +11
2022: Laxalt +11, Lombardo +14
2024: Trump +14, Brown +8

Insane what happened to Sam Brown here, that underperformance of Trump in NV-02 cost him the Senate seat. Now Brown may end up being the nominee for NV-02 in 2026.

Putin's regime lackeys have been conducting largely fake opinion polling for the Russian legislative election later this year. But, for reasons unknown, they are inexplicably showing some thermostatic backlash, with vote intention for United Russia down over the last few months.
