Why is Morning Consult, along with several other polls that survey several thousand registered voters, and comes up with these numbers, not cited on MSNBC, which uses their internal polling with a few hundred responses and is throwing panic into Democrats over this "narrowing" of the margin? Are they trying to motivate Democrats to go to the polls and vote? There was another one last night from Steve Kornacki showing Maggie Hassan just a couple of points up.

Or is this all just some kind of media game to get their ratings up?

And what's happening at DNC headquarters. I get all these emails from Democrats saying this or that Republican took out 2 million in ads against them and they need money, but then I hear Tim Ryan this morning talk about having over 300,000 small contributors and blowing Vance out of the water with ads everywhere.
