A subtle drop in Putin's ratings carries an unusual signal

The steady decline in Vladimir Putin's ratings is sending a message — just not the kind polls in democracies are designed to capture. As the Kremlin's grip over the internet tightens, pro-war military bloggers, figures from state-approved "opposition" parties, and even influencers have railed against the online crackdown. State-linked pollsters, meanwhile, report that the Russian president's approval rating has steadily declined, reaching its lowest point during the all-out invasion of Ukraine

You've probably heard: Trump has ended his #First100Days at only 40% approval rating-- the lowest of any President at this point in their term.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @adamjentleson.bsky.social have a great conversation about how #Democrats need to change their focus to be #voters not #donors not #pollsters not #lobbyists. @gayforcongress.bsky.social and @joshweil.bsky.social take this advice! @thebulwark.bsky.social #FL1 #FL6

No experts. No promise to get Mexico to pay for a wall. Has "concepts of a plan" to replace ObamaCare after 8 years. He's nominating incompetent unqualified sycophants to fill every job, and his only pledge appears to be a promise to go after all of his enemies (a list that includes the entire #ForthEstate, #pollsters who said he was behind, and the #FBI.) #DisasterPresidency #TeamOfSycophants

#TurningPoint in US #Senate elections this year is expected to be hidden dynamic of "undecided" voters...Most are likely leaning to become #TrumpVoters according to #WSJ.

In #Ohio 78% of so called "undecided" voters lean #Trump, in AZ 77% ... these are likely #voters that oft have no idea who the candidates for the upper chamber are, but will end up following #DJT recommendations.

Seasoned Political #Pollsters expect #UndecidedVoters could take the #GOP #Trumpmentum from a 51-seat majority to more comfortable 53 or more in #USSenate #2024election.

Wasn't me, but I don't doubt it.

As I've said repeatedly: "It's a #dangerous game The #Media and #pollsters are playing, hyping a close race.

B/c if we do see a lopsided win, it only feeds into The #Cult's narrative that "the election was stolen."
