I'm on a private call with David Wasserman from COOK POLITICAL...

He reports that DISTRICT-based polling for the Presidential is 1) incredibly consistent over time and 2) showing an 8-10% DECLINE in Trump's District performance from 2016.

Big erosion in Trump's support in the suburbs of more conservative cities.

Pollsters are diving deeper into demographics, neighborhoods, voting patterns, ethnic clusters. I thought evictions and suppression and college migrations and rules in GOP states would impact their work, but they don't mention it. And seems to me pollsters are questioning their own work and methodology, a very healthy enterprise.

We are extremely lucky to have a real party insider on this site who is willing to share a lot of his knowledge and information with us.

and a number of other states. Back in NC, the burbs around Charlotte, the Triad, etc., places like Gastonia, Mooresville, Kernersville, Hendersonville, are instrumental in flipping the state red time and again. If Donnie can't pull enough votes from those places to offset the metros, he's cooked.

The down ballet -- everything from dog catcher to senator -- is at stake.

They need slaughtering at the local level.

I wonder if that carries parallels with evangelicals in the 'burbs?

Not sure of that connection, but always hopeful..........
