I was thrilled to poll for @afwhpac.bsky.social and @corbintrent.bsky.social to show Democratic momentum in 3 House districts, #NY15 #AZ04 & #MO01, for replacing Hakeem Jeffries with new leadership. His failures from Medicare for All to Gaza persuade all demographics. Link in next post ➡️

The question isn’t whether Jeffries will remain at the helm, but rather how he will manage an increasingly progressive caucus if he does hold the gavel come January. trib.al/0CpCLpl

NEW: As AI companies provoke intense scrutiny, former Obama White House official Jay Carney has joined an effort to “rebuild bonds” between Democrats and the AI industry. Dem operatives are joining the AI industry in droves – we’ve tracked over 100 former Biden officials who made similar moves.

It's true Jeffries has support in places like the Bronx from Black voters, especially older. But those same voters are angry at broken Democratic promises on affordability and healthcare, ICE funding, failure to fight Trump, arms to Israel, and war with Iran—and turn against Jeffries in big numbers.

AI is the collective suicide of humanity. Bots replacing voters in polls, bots replacing candidates. Soon the bots will vote, bots will govern us, bots will write news, to be read by bots, and we real people will just wither away.

I'm thrilled to poll once again for @corbintrent.bsky.social and A Fight Worth Having. There's another chance this month to take out an AIPAC Dem, this time with @kainewkirk.bsky.social who is challenging Greg Stanton in #AZ04 in the Jul 21 primary.

Our stunning poll in #AZ04 shows a rapidly changing primary between activist @kainewkirk.bsky.social and AIPAC-backed Congressman Greg Stanton. After a June Stanton poll showed the incumbent leading 56-23, we find his lead cut to 46-38—and Newkirk up 41-30 among those yet to vote!

Newkirk vs. AIPAC pet Stanton is tight and rapidly moving. In a string of progressive victories, we've also seen near-miss disappointments in races that flew under the radar, like #COSen and #NY06. Now is the time to mobilize support to bring home another insurgent win in #AZ04!

We find Newkirk's rise powered by a strong desire for change. By 45-34, #AZ04 voters want Dems to replace Hakeem Jeffries as leader if the party takes back Congress. National progressive stars have huge favorability, including Bernie Sanders (86), AOC (83) and Mamdani (81).

When voters learn about Stanton's votes to arm Israel, donations from AIPAC, insurance and big tech—and Newkirk's support for a wealth tax and Medicare for All, Newkirk's lead surges to 65%-17% with those yet to vote. See full details: afightworthhaving.com/Polling/AZ-04

Darializa only came out of nowhere if you didnt know her as one of Zohran's primary Washington Heights field leads. AOC only came out of nowhere if you didnt know her as one of Bernie's primary Bronx field leads. Will journalists start respecting field leads? Probably not!

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.
