Neglect. Deliberate indifference. Inappropriate and delayed treatment.

After 13 years of marriage, Bethany Meola acknowledges she and her husband can get mired in the midlife chaos that comes with navigating careers and raising three children. That's why the six-second kiss felt so good.
One deputy was killed and two others were injured during an ambush shooting in central Florida.
@#18 ... Rasmussen is normally 5-10% slanted to the GOP. ...
Yeah, that's one reason why I tend towards the RCP rolling average.
And, for the record, the RCP Electoral College display has not changed recently...

That is a good graphic, imo.
Click on any state and see the polling results for that state. Then if you click on a poll in that state you are then given the raw data from that poll (usually PDF).
Good stuff.
@#10 ... Did you actually click the link I posted? ...
I did.
I clicked on it, and followed it to abcnews.go.com.
Once there, I read the entire article, and then backtracked to click on the "average of national polls" link in the first paragraph.
The basis of the resulting article seems to be ( projects.fivethirtyeight.com )
... projects.fivethirtyeight.com ...
That page seems to be, a mish-mash pf data that really does not show anything significant. It states that Harris is ahead by 1.5, but when I click on the "full methodology link" I am thrown back to an April 2024 poll of Biden vs Trump.
... Trump leads in swing-state polls and is tied with Biden nationally ...
Wow, 538 has sunk to new lows since ESPN took it over. And it seems that ESPN even wants to dump it on someone else...

So, all that leads me to ask,...
Did you actually click on the link(s) you posted?
I do note a couple of things...

2) the data on this web page has not budged.

@#7 ... And 538's poll of polls now show Harris with a 1.5 point lead over Trump. abcnews.go.com ...
Thanks for that link.
What 538 seems to neglect to mention is the Margin of Error.
I'll agree that the trend looks favorable to VP Harris.
But when it comes down to the Electoral College, there are still 111 Electoral votes within the margin of error.

So, at this point I have questions...
1) will the enthusiasm and energy that VP Harris' campaign appears to be experiencing last until November (meaning Election Day)? Granted, there are only 90 or so days that she needs to keep the current bubbling.
2) OK, I forgot my #2. Too much multi--tasking this evening (also trying to configure a RADIUS server to validate WiFi WPA-Enterprise logins.
@#18 ... Not me. I wouldn't have any faith in Trump even if he does win the election. ...
Oh, I agree.
100%.
Way back in 2016 I warned about then candidate Trump.
Why?
Well, I am in the NYC media area. So I have been aware of private citizen Trump for a while. I'll say, since the 1990s possibly earlier.
Long story short, I have always viewed him as a self-absorbent person.
I mean, there are things like this...

Indeed, in the summer of 2016, on this most august site, I warned the GOP voters of what they were getting themselves into.
Now the GOP has to face what they enabled.
And it does not look good for the Country and the rule of the Constitution.

Lyrics excerpt...
...
One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walkin' next to me
...
Fun tune...

OK, I admit, I'm immersed in 80's playlists here this evening whilst I try to figure out why the RADIUS server ( en.wikipedia.org ) is doing what it is doing.
