The ongoing violence in American cities is an increasing vulnerability for Dems. It’s popping in my focus groups as well. Americans were originally on the side of protesters. But as the unrest continues, attitudes are shifting. It’s the one R talking point starting to stick. https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1297867487736926209

This is why Trump is leaning so hard into the LAW AND ORDER message. It’s starting to resonate—and beyond Trump’s base. And my guess is you’ll hear a lot about violence at the convention as R’s want to make sure they connect it to Democratic lead cities and not Trump’s America.

Last night @pbump had a good piece in the WaPo about this with some additional polling: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/08/24/promises-positive-convention-notwithstanding-expect-hear-lot-about-crime-this-week/
