They know exactly what they are doing. They are going to blame the President. They don't care about their own people.

Because their people will blame the President too.

There was recent shift in polls in Florida, making it a tossup state, I'm wondering if that vote by Republicans could have something to do with it.

Polls aren't very indicative of election results in a state with as much voter suppression as Florida.

There'd probably have to be at least 10% more voting age Dems than Republicans to make it competitive.

thanks. Id be astounded and delighted if harris can win florida, but you never know.

that article is all over the place. it links back to itself (clicking the poll link takes you to a link for that headline).. I was able to find the actual poll: https://napolitaninstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/GCM24-FL09-Mini-Crosstabs-Pres.pdf

then there is also this from NYTimes, further confounding things

The Harris campaign should be running 24/7 ads about how they reached out to DeSantis to offer aid and he refused to take the call.

They’re already blaming him.
