| Democratic unity shaping up more quickly than in 2008 – poll | |
| Bernie Sanders supporters may not include many “party-unity-my-ass” types, in the model of the Hillary Clinton Pumas, who, in 2008, resisted backing Barack Obama after he beat her to the nomination. | |
| The 81% of Sanders backers who now say they’re with her, in a new Washington Post-ABC poll, “is a higher number than in any poll of 2008 Clinton backers who rallied to Obama”, writes the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake. “The high that year was 74%, in October”. | |
| Sanders has done a bit to rally his followers, if not behind Clinton then at least against Donald Trump, whom Sanders has repeatedly said must be defeated at all costs. The Clinton camp would say there’s a lot more to be done. | |
| 81% of Sanders backers say they'll vote Clinton. Much quicker Dem rallying effect than '08. https://t.co/RvFtAXLCwg pic.twitter.com/TQdOoRylyE | |
| A second poll backs up the WaPo/ ABC finding: | |
| 45% of Sanders backers now have a positive view of Cilnton vs. 33% with negative view, per NBC/WSJ poll https://t.co/hxEFIxOgA2 | |

| Look who’s tweeting. | |
| Donald Trump usually refers to Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas”, in reference to the senator’s disputed Native American background. But this morning he’s behaving: Warren now “lied on heritage”. | |
| Crooked Hillary is wheeling out one of the least productive senators in the U.S. Senate, goofy Elizabeth Warren, who lied on heritage. | |
| Trump is telegraphing discontent with the media this morning, in what seems to be a bit of a bender of focus on the forces Trump perceives to be arrayed against him, namely pollsters and the media. | |
| On Sunday night, Trump tweeted negatively about a new ABC / Washington Post poll finding that nearly two-thirds of Americans think he is unqualified to be president. He called the poll “dirty” and a “disgrace”. | |
| Trump has been grappling with seriously bad polling numbers for a couple weeks now, and the struggle has been something to watch from the outside. At first he used the word “phony” to describe the polls, then he said “I haven’t started yet”, and now it’s “dirty” and “disgrace” with a side helping of a media conspiracy against him: | |
| The media is unrelenting. They will only go with and report a story in a negative light. I called Brexit (Hillary was wrong), watch November | |
| Trump pays special tribute to CNN, which last week hired the campaign manager Trump fired. Somehow Trump knows what’s on CNN, though he does not watch it: | |
| .@CNN is all negative when it comes to me. I don't watch it anymore. | |

| Donald Trump has not visited the state since March. “Trump has now visited Scotland more than Ohio since becoming the Republican party’s presumptive nominee,” local WCPO Cincinnati observed on Monday morning. Perhaps Trump figures he can get all the Buckeye fuel he needs out of next month’s convention in Cleveland. | Donald Trump has not visited the state since March. “Trump has now visited Scotland more than Ohio since becoming the Republican party’s presumptive nominee,” local WCPO Cincinnati observed on Monday morning.

| Trump is not entirely neglecting a traditional swing-state campaigning strategy, however. His team announced an event on Tuesday outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a state the Clinton camp has expressed confidence about keeping in the Democratic column even as a pro-Clinton Super Pac makes eight-figure ad buys there. If Trump’s strategy is “you never know”, Clinton’s is “you can never be too sure”. | Trump is not entirely neglecting a traditional swing-state campaigning strategy, however.
