Despite the pounding she took from Ted Cruz and several other right-wing Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the most popular Supreme Court nominee since John Roberts in 2005.

The bad news is that despite all that, his second impeachment, and his chaotic and incompetent response to the pandemic, about one-third of Americans still support the outgoing President. Trump will depart for Florida on Wednesday with an approval rating of 29%, the lowest of his presidency, according to a new poll from

Historically, presidential races tend to tighten during the last two weeks before an election as voters solidify their choices. In many respects this isn't a normal election year, but I expect to see Joe Biden's current 8-9 point lead nationally shrink to about 5-6 points by November 3rd.
