The only poll that matters

It is heartening to see polls suggesting that Democratic candidates are gaining ground across the country. But encouraging polls can also breed complacency, leading people to assume the outcome is assured and that their votes are no longer needed. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In the times we are in, Democratic vote totals need to be unquestionably overwhelming. Nov. 3 is only the beginning of a long correction, digging out of the MAGA years.

If Sununu wins, he will stand with Trump. We need Chris Pappas to stand as our Senator, and Stefany Shaheen and Maggie Goodlander in Congress. And of course all of our local candidates here in New Hampshire.

Please don’t take encouraging polls for granted. Show up, vote and support the entire Democratic ticket.
