Last one for now. Politico, again, with the results of the latest Marquette poll:
Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump has tripled in Wisconsin since July, with the Democratic nominee now holding a double-digit advantage, according to a Marquette University Law School poll of likely voters released Wednesday.
Clinton leads Trump by 15 percentage points, with 52 percent support to Trump’s 37 percent support.
Clinton led Trump by just 4 percentage points in July before both parties convened their nominating conventions last month.
Clinton’s ... net favorability is -1 percent, (48 percent favorable, 49 percent unfavorable), while Trump’s is -37 percent (28 percent favorable, 65 percent unfavorable).
Ouch! ...and the down-ticket?
In the Senate race, former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold has expanded his five-point lead over Republican incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson from July. Feingold now leads with 53 percent support to Johnson’s 42 percent support.
That's an 11 point deficit for the incumbent...
I guess it's just NOT your lucky day!

It's a long, long way to election day. There hasn't been a sizable gun massacre in......uh, weeks. (Hey, I guess mass terror slayings don't count any more?)
Brown AND Gay? Not a factor in NRA support for Trump.

The Koch Brothers money infusion hasn't had time to take hold, look for the Senate numbers to start closing.

Unfortunately, today brings news that Iowa has lost its senses:
In a four-way race that includes Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein, Trump [has a] one-point lead over Clinton, 37 percent to 36 percent...
Why? Whyyyyyyyyy?
The state’s demographics are especially challenging for Clinton, who is more dependent in Iowa than she is elsewhere on less-educated white voters, a group with which Trump performs very well.
Oh.
Yeah, I guess they've got a point there - this is the state that sent Jodi Ernst to Congress...

Yeah, it was apparent Iowa lost its senses decades ago when they elected Terry Branstad governor. Then it became painfully obvious when they elected him again in this century after 10 or so years out of office.
And don't even mention Joni Ernst.
(I'm a recovering former Iowan.)

You never really recover. It's like a huge hog operation in August, once the stink gets on you it never goes away.
(I like Iowa. Lots of nice, white folks.)
