Plus - my opinion - she should get a post-convention bump and the incumbent charisma factor should switch, making it 9 to 4.



Has said he won't make final prediction until after the Democratic convention.

Of course people loved FDR because he was a master of communicating through the radio. But I don't think he would have come off nearly as well on TV or the internet. I have seen Kamala improve so much in the last few years, which is not a knock but a salute to her getting better in so many areas. She has owned the crowds who have seen her so far with an ability to interact and feed off them while still controlling the narrative. Harder than it looks to do without just going to red meat dishes. There is a symbiotic thing going on with her and the crowds, and it is beautiful to watch.
