POLL: John James Makes Up 10-Point Deficit Since June, Michigan Senate Race Now Dead Heat
Breitbart ^ | 10/13/2020

Posted on 10/13/2020 8:33:31 AM PDT by TheRake

The New York Times reported James was down double digits in June, 41 percent to 31 percent.

That gap has now narrowed to one point, 43 percent to 42 percent, according to the Times/Siena survey.

Via the Times:

The relatively high number of undecided voters reflects the relatively low profile of the two candidates. Around 20 percent of voters do not have an opinion on either of them. Mr. James’s favorability ratings have increased to 45 percent favorable versus 35 percent unfavorable, up from 36 percent favorable and 29 percent unfavorable in the June survey. Part of Mr. Peters’s weakness is that he has thus far failed to match Mr. Biden’s tallies among nonwhite voters, who disproportionately remain undecided. It remains to be seen whether Mr. James, who is Black, will ultimately make significant inroads among these voters.

That would be epic, actually. Could well save the Senate for McConnell.

A Michigan Trump rally with John James called up to the stage by Trump for a short speaking role, should put him over the top.

If the NYTimes says James has made up a 10-pt deficit since the beginning of Summer, he may well actually be leading this race.

So is James a Democrat or a Republican? I ain’t gonna “click through” to find that out. DAMN idiot reporters who don’t know how to actually DO “journalism”.

It would be nice to know the parties of the candidates and which of them is the incumbent, if either.

This news while now a couple of days old is nevertheless significant coming as it does from Trafalgar, a respectable polling firm. If James has closed the gap can Trump be far behind? More likely, he is well ahead.

If Trump takes Arkansas, Florida and Michigan he wins if Biden fails to run the table.

John James, a Republican, is also a West Point Grad, a former US Army Captain, who was an Apache pilot during combat. He also earned his Ranger tab.

If the NYTimes says James has made up a 10-pt deficit since the beginning of Summer, then you can rest assured there never was a 10-pt deficit to begin with...
