Where or how exactly is Biden “creeping?”
Thanks CG….
I thought I saw the guys rating this for the Dem’s…
Sometime’s ya just get ur eyes wrong….
Biden still inching up in 538 and RCP approval numbers….
I’m not so sure James. compare how the same polling outfit changed from the prior period. For example, Compare YouGov to its prior numbers. I didn’t look too closely, but from my perusal, It is not clear to me there is any improvement.

Slight…
But it’s there…..
Insignificant and not worthy of comment.
Walz topping out at 48% could be just enough in third party friendly MN, but hardly a good look, especially if a Republican were to gain traction.
Democrats will get blown out in Nevada. Even considering the source of that particular poll, the state Democratic party is in such a disarrayed place and former Senator Heller is as top shelf a candidate as Republicans can get out there.
As to the GCB, I expect redistricting and other forces to gain Republicans a net of 10-20 in the House while Democrats have a gangbusters year in the Senate(sans Nevada).
