@dfroomkin.bsky.socialI've seen people talking about this finding in the new NYT poll -- it seems like an outlier but it's really just a matter of arithmetic the 35 states with Senate races voted for Trump by over 7 points (it's a bad year!) +4 in Senate states ~= +10 nationally ~= NYT generic (+11)
