One sign Trump is in deep trouble? Even Republicans don't believe his spin on prices. A CBS poll showed
-4 in 10 Republicans say Trump making affordability sound better than it actually is
-25% of Republicans disapprove of how he's handling inflation.

This is why a fair number of people stay home on election day and don't vote. What's the point, they ask, when no one stands up for them
This right here.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Weighting off the 2024 electorate was a terrible decision by pollsters. I hope they've learned their lesson.
be careful with pollsters who invest a lot of time and money into marketing based off single election performance, and don't appear to take methods too seriously
