The Gallup Party ID numbers are staying relatively constant but then Gallup is very conservative. Its CEO once said he thought President Obama would kill him for talking about the "real unemployment rate" in which he used U6. Today, under Trump he uses U3 again. Regardless, I'm not sure his insanity and intellectual inconsistencies force him to rework his polls. Gallup has been rated a B polling company by 538. Their political leaning forces them to be less truthful as they become more conservative, which is to be expected. Quinnipiac is rated an A- by 538.

I am worried about Alexandra Ocasio-Cortex and the far left going too far. I think my position right now is right between Bernie and Hillary. I think most liberals probably are in that place. Ocasio wants to set up a sub committee of the progressive dems and I think that is a terrible idea.It sounds like the freedom caucus which splits the dems and would force untenable ideas on the dems. My biggest fear for the dems is that we don't hang together. During the counter culture movement of the 60's we saw a far left that was nuts and we called them the crazies. We need sober legislators. I am guessing Kamala Harris might be best to hold us together.
