Dems Hold Nine-Point Lead in Generic Ballot
50% to 41%
A new Quinnipiac poll finds Democrats leading the generic congressional ballot by nine points, 50% to 41%.
A Low Bar Too Far Pushed out over pushups ...
The ranks of prospective ICE agents are swiftly thinning,
With drug addicts, criminals and slobs those ranks are brimming.
Over a third can’t pass the physical test,
And the rest are, simply, not the best —
They cleave to the notion that black Kevlar riot gear is slimming.
I Say Robot, You Say Cobot Let's call the whole thing automation ...
Amazon’s going to replace 600,000 workers with robots,
‘Cause you don’t need brains or judgement to pack a box.
From a PR viewpoint the look’s not good,
So execs addressing the move always should
Emphasize the human collaboration and call them “cobots.”
Majority Thinks Trump Is a Dictator
56%
A new Public Religion Research Institute poll asked people if Donald Trump is a “potentially dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys democracy” or if he’s a “strong leader who should be given the power he needs to restore America’s greatness.” Americans chose the “dictator” option by a strong margin, 56% to 41%.
Approval of Congress Hits New Low
15%
A new Gallup poll finds just 15% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing. And in what may be an ominous sign for Republicans, the share of GOP voters who view Congress favorably dropped 21 points to just 33% in the poll conducted just after the shutdown began — a stark shift from a high of 63% earlier this year, after Republicans gained control of both chambers.
Big Majority Says Country Going in Wrong Direction
62%
A new PRRI poll finds 62% of Americans believe the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, fueled by dissatisfaction with President Trump’s impact on the economy, immigration, race relations and the nation’s global standing. Even among Republicans, a significant share — nearly 30% — gave Trump low marks on the economy and how the government is functioning. A new AP-NORC poll found 69% of Americans thought the nation was headed in the wrong direction and 30% in the right direction.
Ghostwriter Knows Who’s in the Epstein Files
“I know all the names … It exists in the FBI files. It exists in the Epstein files, as we now call them … There are four different document dumps, and there are many, many names in those … They have the names — and they’ve had them for more than a decade.”
— Amy Wallace, “The ghost writer who helped Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, pen her posthumous memoir claimed she knows everyone named in the so-called Epstein files,” the New York Post reports.
White Gurl ‘Dozens’
You can always count on the White House Press Office for drama,
Because the comms team’s media relations style is based on trauma.
Ask a legit question, get an insult,
Ask a follow-up and get some tumult,
Or, if you’re S.V. Date, get Caroline Leavitt doing dozens on “Yo Mamma.”
