Go James ... if real, well, I won’t get to far ahead ...

[JudyinCanada]

I love John James. All of these wonderful, good-looking conservative blacks.....it does my heart good. I like the older ones, too lol.

But conventions are designed to convince the public to warm up to their candidate.

Some conventions are needed to either fire up the base, or reunite a fractured party. The Democrat convention was not well-conceived for persuading the swing population as a whole.

[Midwesterner53]

In fact Trump did lose ground last week and probably more this week.

[lasereye]

Another reason to be skeptical: This poll was conducted between August 14 and 23, a period encompassing the entire Democratic convention and before the Republican convention had begun...It’d be odd if Biden lost votes in a state where he’d been strong until now because of it.

President Trump's approval rating went up during the DNC. James taking the lead is plausible.

[Williams]

It’s only surprising if you view politics as a game without realizing it involves real people and their reactions to real events.

Between people believing Biden is mentally impaired, and the riots, doesn’t surprise me one bit.

There’s a reason Biden is planning to leave the basement and is changing his positions.

[Paladin2]

James would be a BIG plus...

Whitmer the Witch is destroying the Democrat brand up there.

It has been decades since Michigan has had anything but two dimwitted rubber stamp Dem US Senators-—always. Hope Gary Peters gets run out by James of the GOP.

Charles Potter, 1952.
Spencer Abraham, 1995.
Otherwise, all Dems all the way.

I believe Debbie Stabenow went through her first term without ever successfully introducing or passing one bill.
Smiled for TV cameras, though. Re-elected.

When I happened 2 or 3 times to hear a stupid dull sounding woman on the radio, I assumed I was hearing the person in front of the supermarket type interviews of passersby about some tornado or other local news event. Wrong. I was hearing Debbie Stabenow, United State Senator !! Embarrassingly uninformed and dumb sounding.

LOL

It appears the author fails to comprehend and appreciate the extent and effect of rioting before Kenosha.

[BlueStateRightist]

My math has Trump up by 1.4%, not “2”. Just trying to be a bit more accurate.

[sheehan]

Scary that the psycho no-name L candidate could get 3% in MI (the pothead Johnson got 3.5%)

I’m not a big fan of polls this far out - but these Trafaglar guys were spot on in 2016, especially in rust belt states.

[the_Watchman]

There were no disasters onstage for the Dems last week.

I have to disagree with this statement from the article. The Democrats never even mentioned the violence in their strongholds. Forget about addressing the problem. Outside the convention Democrats were even cheering the "non-violent" [cough cough] "demonstrators" on. That was a big hole in their strategy which was noticed even by talking heads in the MSM.

I'll stretch the point a little and claim that that was a "disaster".

[joma89]

Just go out and vote, folks and bring three or four conservative friends. We must vote...that is the only poll that matters.

John James is pounding the hell out of Gary Peters with back to back ad spots during the local evening news broadcasts.

Go John!

[exnavy]

Biden isn’t leading anywhere.

[j.havenfarm]

Of course play like you’re ten points behind. But this guy is going to win. What a story

[knighthawk]

Good news but there is a wave of fraud coming from the left so let’s hope it will be enough!

[TBP]

Again, watch the trend lines. They seem to be moving towards the President and towards James.

[Revolutionary]

Oversampling female and dems. So even better news.
