I also think a post rescission poll might find something different. Even my normie friends are getting interested in a new mayor now.

I think that survey bias is going to be fairly high if leftists opted to not complete the survey via text or phone.

Chart showing Frey with a negative 10 point favorability rating (so more unfavorable). It’s actually fallen 8 points since last year. Center and right voters like him more; everyone else less.

In the past year, Frey’s popularity has fallen from -2 to -10, the worst of the past 4+ years. He was 8 points favorable in March 2021.

Fateh is net unfavorable by 2 points.

Final round RCV has Frey winning by 10 points, with 56% of the final round vote. That’s similar to ‘17 & ‘21.

Let’s dig into pro-Frey PAC All of Mpls’s mayor poll. AoM sees Frey up by 12 points DESPITE sinking favorables (-2 to -10 in past yr); Fateh has higher favs! But as AoM’s pollster notes “Republicans will vote for [Frey].” With an unpopular candidate, AoM must go negative w/Fateh “corruption” message

I took the phone poll and the language was not only loaded but full of actual lies about my CM, Katie Cashman. So yeah, I think the flaw is baked into the results.

Wouldn't they also toss out any survey left incomplete?

I guess one way to ensure ppl don't tweet about your stock tanking is to take down your entire site. 🤷

What is your favorite Jacob Frey scandal?

It has been 60 years since Minnesota experienced as little crime as it did in 2024. For the vast majority of people alive in Minnesota last year was the safest of their lives.

Keep this in mind when politicians in upcoming elections attempt to use fear to get you to vote for them!

Data on the 20,000 transit riders traveling on Hennepin, Nicollet, and Marq2 corridors downtown.

11,700 of them currently use Nicollet Mall.

I'm sympathetic to people who "Don't want to hear about politics all the time" but unfortunately "politics" for the average person will probably get much less abstract in the near term. It's going to get harder to get through a day without going "Wait it's legal for them to do that?"

He's going to pardon Chauvin, isn't he?

Some really great thoughts here; and I second the suggestion to do a walk through of your own!

Friends, what are 3 books you think belong in a leftist library?

At a time when we’re trying to maximize our local authority in preparation for the Trump Administration, the Charter Commission is looking at how to subvert democracy.

When the clergy are asking the leader to be merciful and spare people from his coming wrath you are no longer in a democracy, you are in an unfolding autocracy that is gearing up for industrial terror and death.

Unlike Obama, who hobbled into office with a 7.2% victory in the popular vote, Donald Trump takes office with a clear mandate after a 1.5% victory in the popular vote.

D's Banh Mi (38th & Longfellow) hit by a car last night, triggering a fire. Destroyed the roof and damaged their kitchen. This means they can't open by the end of the month as planned. They are still open for delivery and would appreciate your support during this time.

Also, quit giving elon $ to advertise.

We don't need the key, we'll break in...

I am woman enough to watch the film that Quentin Tarantino can't.

Starbucks workers AND Amazon workers are on nationwide strikes during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. I truly hope their bosses are sweating bullets :)

The cops work for Jeff Bezos Not for you or me

The police work for billionaires.

They’ll attack a strike, they’ll arrest protesters, and they’ll devote themselves to making CEOs feel safe.

Not only do cops defund our cities, they work overtime to stop us from building a better world.

Breaking: Amazon tried to dampen the resolve of its striking workers. But the Queens picket line is denser than it was yesterday. Workers remain unbossed and fearless. Hearing reports of an alleged record number of Amazon drivers calling out!
