Once you start sliding . . .
Yesterday CNN found the Democratic advantage on the generic ballot down to three points. Today Reuters finds it down to one.
Given the feelgood spectacle this morning of Trump and Pence greeting American hostages on their return home from North Korea, it’s quite possible that a poll next week will show the GOP even — or ahead! — on the generic ballot.
On Christmas Day 2017, they trailed by 13 points on average.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.
On the other hand:
The RCP [Real Clear Politics] generic-ballot average today is Dems by 6.1 points, which is another way of saying that even with CNN and Reuters baked in, the balance of polling still shows a comfortable blue advantage in November.
Woe.
