Many voters don't understand separation between an editorial board/newsroom, and plenty of others just don't believe it. The result: taking sides ends up undermining the credibility of an outlet's hard news in the eyes of the reader - often playing into other side's narrative. — PolitiTweet.org

During non-pandemic times, I travel to 30+ states a year speaking to a variety of people/groups. The one criticism of the media I hear over and over again - and from all corners - is that they're totally sick of media institutions taking sides & telling them who to vote for. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

It's easy to dismiss a poll in WV as not mattering. But just as Clinton's problems w/ white working-class voters in MI/PA/WI were foreshadowed by polls elsewhere, Trump's underperformance in ND/WV etc. is a flashing red siren for his standing in SE OH, SW PA, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Trump won WV by 42% (!) in 2016. This would be a 24-point pro-Dem swing. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Has Biden's performance been flawless? No. But it hasn't really mattered, and he's avoided big risks. Meanwhile, Trump has missed numerous opportunities to improve his standing, and continues to underperform badly w/ 1) seniors and 2) blue-collar white women. — PolitiTweet.org

At the moment, Biden is teaching a master class on letting your opponent's candidacy self-destruct. — PolitiTweet.org

For younger voters, it's almost unfathomable there could have been a time when there wasn't such a large ideological gap between the parties. But Biden's disproportionately outperforming Clinton w/ seniors & in senior-heavy places (Maricopa, Pinellas, Maine, etc.). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

One reason seniors, a breakout demographic for Biden, could be more "elastic" than other voters: they grew up in an era when more people voted for the candidate (as opposed to the party). — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ForecasterEnten: Look is Joe Biden leading? Yes. Is it close at this time? No. Are there any bright spots for Trump in the polling? No. — PolitiTweet.org

Still struggling to recall the last time I've seen a presidential candidate hit 57% in a name-brand national, live-interview poll in the fall of an election year. — PolitiTweet.org

Raise your hand if you pegged 2020 as the "gray revolt" against Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

A few of my favorite facts that *didn't* make the cut: - Fort Valley, GA is the headquarters of Blue Bird school buses - Terre Haute, IN houses Clabber Girl baking powder's factory - Bowling Green, OH's nickname is "Pull Town USA" - Sauk City, WI is the birthplace of Culver's — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

A few of the most 👀 facts in this story: - Peach, GA's Black turnout plummeted from 72% in 2012 to 54% in 2016, causing Trump to win it - New Hanover, NC hasn't voted D since 1976 but got its first Whole Foods in 2012 - Sauk, WI is home to the International Clown Hall of Fame — PolitiTweet.org

These places don't fit one stereotype: they run the gamut from meatpacking hubs to military bases and peach orchards to yacht-dense retiree havens. But one thing they have in common: their votes will matter a whole lot more than most Americans' votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Today, I'd rate all ten of these top bellwether counties as either "toss ups" or "lean Biden:" 1. Maricopa, AZ 2. Pinellas, FL 3. Peach, GA 4. Marshall, IA 5. Kent, MI 6. New Hanover, NC 7. Wood, OH 8. Erie, PA 9. Collin, TX 10. Sauk, WI — PolitiTweet.org

Twitter contest update: congrats to @Stuart98_, who has won a free year's subscription to @CookPolitical by using our #2020Swingometer to draw up a (totally implausible) scenario in which Biden wins the popular vote by 21.3 million (!) but still loses the Electoral College. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattMackowiak The irony is that the only thing holding back Biden from winning TX is that he's slightly underperforming Clinton among Hispanics. Otherwise, he'd arguably be the favorite. — PolitiTweet.org
