that's a very important number to consider.

All I want to know about is Electoral College matchups. State by state, can we get it done? Nothing else matters.

(5,445 posts)5. Hillary was up more until Comey's last minute intervention
The final RCP average then was +3.2%. So Joe's 6% would probably win if the Daily Consult poll is reflective of actual sentiment-- unlike Bloomberg and Sanders who are only +2. Sad to say my favorite Warren is -1%.
Trump's continuing competitive "popularity" is concerning...

Morning Consult is not polling. They have a panel they post an internet form to every day / week.

Isn't he the guy that got spanked for publishing the docs that Gucifer stole? Hmm.
Seems like Hillary was about 5 pts ahead at this stage of the game too. Hmm.

(49,999 posts)9. 60 Minutes: Journalist (Marc Caputo) defends reporting that used Russian-hacked documents
Politico Senior Writer Marc Caputo says the decision to use excerpts from Russian-hacked documents during the 2016 election was justified because the information was true and newsworthy.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/journalist-marc-caputo-defends-reporting-that-used-russia-hacked-documents-60-minutes-2019-11-24/
...In 2016, Politico Senior Writer Marc Caputo was tipped off by a Republican operative to a cache of hacked DCCC documents, stolen by Russian GRU agents and published on a blog under the now-infamous moniker Guccifer 2.0. Among those documents, which were never intended to be seen by the public, were compromising dossiers that included the scandals, indiscretions and political vulnerabilities of the Democratic Party's own candidates in Florida races.
Even though Russian intelligence was suspected to be behind the hack, many in the mainstream media used the stolen material. Politico's Caputo used excerpts from the dossiers in one report, published just a few months before the vote, titled, "Hacked DCCC docs dish on strategy and scandal for Florida congressional candidates."
In an interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Bill Whitaker, Caputo says the source of the information was "right at the edge of being unusable," but that he and his editors ultimately decided to publish. "This tells voters 'Here's what the Democratic Party actually thinks about Democratic candidates, despite what the Democratic Party says,'" he said, "and we think ultimately that if the information is true, voters have a right to that information," he said...
