And you had real clear politics dropping their own polls.
And so what's happened is that this is one of the reasons that Midas Touch exists, is that there is so much right wing money, the right wing noise machine, Fox News, you know, all this stuff, just the volume of money that is working to influence our daily discourse and cre and shape our understanding has now moved that entire.

Are running against, they've now created this alternative universe of an election.
