“Hate to see it creeping back up again “

Yea, I never understood how he bounces up and down.
I guess he did not open his mouth over the weekend.
He was at -18 a few days ago.
Maybe statistical error accounts for the bobble.

Ignore the day to day variation, and focus on the trend, which is going down. Much of the day to day trend is just statistical noise plus variation due to the effect of the day of week on the probability of getting different population segments.

There is a theory that most middle class soccer mom/soccer dad types are busy on the weekend, while most entitlement dependent couch potatoes are at home and ready to answer the phone on the weekends.
