you look at enthusiasm, you can see across the board that the republicans are enthusiastic right now to go to vote. this perception, this false perception that elections are rigged and whether enough voters in virginia primarily, whether they believe that, their votes simply won t count and there is no value ensuring that. you see in the screen. i mean 32% of republicans, 79% democrats and 49% independent. that s just a bizarre and har fieing to buy. self defeat. it s self-defeating as well. this happens in georgia. donald trump went around saying the election is rigged and you
elections day in and day out like we had when he was on twitter. gavin newsom, republican opponent certainly embraced trump. that race ended up not being close at all and there is a limit to how much polling has been done here. there is a lot we don t know about this race and we don t know what the margins are going to be. that s about as far as we can get on that. you make a good point there. trump has receded some what, he sless of this ominous threat to decolor everything about an election. of course he s still there. his e-mail statements go out but they don t have the traction like before. they do think that could be something good for them. trump being off stage is
