What Went Down On Night 3 Of The DNC

I think the blah-ness may be intentional. It’s not a speech that’s designed to draw a lot of attention to itself.

As Amelia and I wrote about today like all elections since 1980, there will likely be a gender gap in the 2020 election. According to our analysis of recent Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape polls, of likely voters, only 37 percent of women said they had a favorable view of the president, while 56 percent said they have a favorable view of Biden. Likely male voters have a rosier view of Trump — 46 percent of men said they have a favorable view of Trump; 51 percent of men said they had a favorable view of Biden.

There’s a big gender gap for Biden — and Trump
