Not saying it is the case of out and out fabrication but polling is an art form to say the least.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu plans to expose property owners cooperating with ICE, prompting the agency to accuse the Democrat of using her office to intimidate private citizens.
PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) announced plans to file public records requests to identify property owners leasing parking spaces to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This comes after ICE issued a request for 249 parking spaces in Boston for its operations, prompting Wu to voice opposition to any expansion of ICE activity in her so-called sanctuary city.
📺 DETAIL: Wu stated that while the city cannot legally block private property owners from leasing to ICE, her administration intends to contact those involved to discourage cooperation. Wu claimed ICE activities jeopardize public safety and accused the agency of conducting “unlawful and dangerous” operations.

Don't think this is good news? I beg to differ.
Another dismal poll for donald was released yesterday, showing him at 33 percent approval. According to Harry Enten on CNN "Trump was unpopular going into midterms during his first presidency, but not like this--he's doing 19 points worse."
Look, it would be great if he was at zero. Not gonna happen. But several well respected polls have showed him mired in the low thirties recently. This is definitely going to help us in the midterms. If nothing else it will depress turnout on the R side and that's great for us.
I look at it like this. Thirty percent of the population approves of him and that's the maga base. What do we know about them? Well they're low information voters who are not motivated to vote except when trump is on the ballot? Is he on the ballot? No.
I just don't see how thirty percent of the population with little to motivate them will keep us from success in the midterms. Not going to happen. Not with the energy I see on our side.
