If I was the dems, I wouldn't have let a million-plus poor working class people die of preventable COVID deaths. Apparently the poll numbers are lower than what Hill-dawg had at this point. Looking forward to hearing how this is all Russia's fault.

This is because the polls are more accurate than what we had in 2016. Trump's candidacy activated a base that pollsters were wildly underestimating, but now they properly compensate for them in their numbers.

That said, the initial Kamala enthusiasm has definitely died down - and her campaign is responsible for snuffing it out. Who would have guessed that the message "I will continue to do exactly what my predecessor has been doing" would depress voter enthusiasm?
