3. They have started deploying attacks. Economist / YouGov is generally a decent tracking poll.

They are investing billions in advertising and have already started deploying insane attack ads against Democratic nominees.

They spend because they know their lies sway people. This poll captures that.

And we must fight back.

I hate that it comes down to money, but it does. Each and every one of us needs to dig deeper than ever before because they are spending more than ever before.

Time to step up.

I was heartbroken when the DU dollar for dollar match, which could have raised $1900 for various candidates only raised $95. I pitched in $20 for Platner as a vote of confidence. It looks like only 9 other DUers stepped up.
