In the United States, if one political party is doing well, it tends to publish polls that say so.<br />And according to CNN, the Democratic party is publishing an awful lot of polls these days.<br />Democratic and liberal aligned groups have put out 17 House polls taken in April or later.<br />However, Republican-aligned groups have put out zip, zilch, nada. Zero. That's a very bad ratio for Republicans.<br />It hasn't always been that way, though. From January through March, Republican and conservative groups released 10 polls compared with the Democrats' two.<br />The April turning point lines up well with when the coronavirus pandemic became the headline story of the year.<br />April is also when Trump's approval rating began an almost continuous nosedive that remains unabated.<br /><br />Recent numbers point to a national political environment in which Democrats are favored by double digits.
