#Politics Regarding the polls that think #Trump has the Republican nomination already clinched ...
A September 30, 2007 #WaPo #ABCNews poll of those who "lean Democratic" found Clinton led Obama 53%-20%.
On the "lean Republican" side, Giuliani led Fred Thompson 30%-15% with McCain third at 12%.
So don't pay attention to the polls.
In fact, this #NBCNews article reports Trump has virtually no ground operation in Iowa, bad news for a caucus state.
Here's the link to the entire Fulton County GA grand jury report.
#Politics For all the Sturm und Drang inflicted on us by mainstream media #Biden polls lately ... Take a look at #FiveThirtyEight, specifically (scroll down) "How Biden Compares with Past Presidents."
Most presidents have had similar numbers at this point. The honeymoon inevitably wears off. Reagan was at 43.3% at this point, as the nation came out of a recession. Obama was at 43.5%. Biden is at 40.0%.
The only poll that matters is November 5, 2024.

#Politics #Medicare From #NYTimes:
"Older Americans appear to be having fewer heart attacks and strokes, the likely result of effective cholesterol and blood pressure medicines that became cheap and widely used in recent years, according to research from Professor Cutler and colleagues. And drug makers and surgeons haven’t developed as many new blockbuster treatments recently — there has been no new Prozac or angioplasty to drive up spending."

Elon Musk says the Anti-Defamation League is responsible for his Twitter business revenue losses, threatens to sue the ADL, yet claims he's not anti-Semitic.
(How many people who blame the Jews for the world's problems are *not* anti-Semitic?!)
"A Florida judge on Saturday struck down congressional district lines for northern Florida advocated by Gov. Ron DeSantis, ruling that the Republican governor’s map had improperly diluted Black voting power."

"A state judge struck down North Florida’s congressional districts Saturday, rebuffing Gov. Ron DeSantis’ open defiance of anti-gerrymandering protections, finding the governor’s map illegally reduced Black voters’ electoral power."
I suspect the state supreme court eventually will rule in #DeSantis favor, but for now I'll take this.
