ohio. party voters come home when you get close to the election. everybody knew there would be some tightening of the big democratic edge, i wonder if you think the brett kavanaugh hearings were kind of a break point that has really helped the republicans as they go into these final few weeks of this campaign? i think it did solidify their base. these judicial appointments with republicans are a huge issue. i think it woke up their base. the energy level increased in the polls. already-energized base on our side for the kavanaugh issue and a variety of other issues. it helped tighten things up. still two weeks left and really important issues. the economic issues, you know the issues around health care, what joe said earlier about the tax cut we should be campaigning on we ll repeal 83% of the tax cut.
concern to me and to others about where this election has been going. who s is it about on the democratic side? we have been talking about the new nbc news/wall street journal poll, fred yang, the democratic pollster said what we all thought would be a blue wave is running into a rip tide of uncertainty that s been created with a surge of republican intensity. where did that come from? democrats have an edge nationally in the generic ballot, in most competitive districts that would decide control of the chambers, the poll is tied on that question. hillary clinton won the popular vote over donald trump. but that edge came almost entirely from deep blue california. throw the national polls out and
