While we are distracted by uneaten cats chasing laser pointers that are somehow pointed once again at the nation’s pre-eminent Taylor Swift hater, Bruce Mehlman points us to some data on the issue map as it relates to the election contest—you know, actual issues, like the economy, and other quaint things.
The economy remains the number one issue for voters, and while Trump maintains a lead over Harris, that lead has shrunk a bit:
Notice in particular here the third item—Supreme Court appointments. It shows higher intensity among Harris voters, which reflects the success of the left’s campaign to demonize the Supreme Court, as they do with any institution they don’t rigidly control.
Back to the economy, and a second measure showing the correlation between consumer sentiment and election results. If history is any guide, it is not a good omen for Harris. (Then, too, savor the outlier for Gore, who should have won easily, but because he was such an unappealing stiff, lost.)
