A single poll but a very interesting poll.
"Joe Biden's support in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is slipping, according to a new survey from Monmouth University Poll that shows the former vice president dropping below 20 percent.
The survey showed Biden with support from 19 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters nationally, a double-digit decline from Monmouth's most recent poll in June when he led the pack with 32 percent.
Now, the dynamics have changed, according to the Monmouth survey. Sens. Bernie Sanders

Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said the latest survey results suggest the race for the Democratic nomination is entering a new phase.
“The main takeaway from this poll is that the Democratic race has become volatile,” Murray said. “Liberal voters are starting to cast about for a candidate they can identify with. Moderate voters, who have been paying less attention, seem to be expressing doubts about Biden.”
But instead of gravitating toward a lesser-known but more centrist-minded alternative, moderate voters “are swinging more toward one of the left-leaning contenders with high name recognition.”
Indeed, Biden has lost support among Democrats who identify as either moderate or conservative. In June, roughly 40 percent of those voters said they backed Biden’s bid for the nomination. Since then, that number has dropped to 22 percent.
There are signs that moderate and conservative Democrats are beginning to gravitate toward Sanders and Warren. Sanders saw his support among those voters jump from 10 percent to 20 percent over the past two months, while backing for Warren rose from 6 percent to 16 percent.
Since June, both Sanders and Warren have gained support overall, according to the Monmouth poll. Sanders gained 6 points in the latest survey, while Warren picked up 5 points.
At the same time, Warren has seen a noticeable uptick in favorability, climbing from 60 percent in May to 65 percent in August. Biden, on the other hand, saw his favorability drop from 74 percent to 66 percent during the same time period.
The Monmouth University Poll surveyed 298 registered voters who identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning from Aug. 16-20. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.7 percentage points."

Agreed but 538 had Monmouth polls in general as pretty good.

In my non-expert opinion, it's hard to imagine the GOP losing the Senate. They'll lose Colorado, maybe lose Arizona, and likely recapture Alabama. For the Dems to take control, they'd also need to take Maine (where Collins is sure to rack in millions in dark money), North Carolina, and Iowa.
That's a hell of a stars aligning type of scenario for a party that couldn't even beat Rick Scott in Florida.

Agreed that it's unlikely but it was kind of odd for Mitch to write that piece out of no where.
A retired admiral just announced he's going after Ernst in Iowa, and I think Collins is really vulnerable.

Personally, I've already donated twice to her challenger. But Collins is a fucking snake and she'll leverage her "I'm just a reasonable moderate in these turbulent times" shtick.

The Washington Post is a good publication.
There's a section of news publications called "opinion" where different individual editors or the group puts together an article:

Sander's climate proposal is the best way forward is an opinion article by James Downie
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...rs-gets-others-dont-about-our-climate-debate/

I'm surprised you never noticed these. They are on almost any notable news site:

Why kind of dweeb grows up in Brooklyn and doesn't know how to throw hands?
What kind of gimp doesn't realize that a speed bag swings back after hitting it?
