About 68% of Americans support gay marriage. Support for abortion rights is much lower. To be clear Dobbs was also unpopular, but banning gay marriage would be in a different realm of unpopularity now.

There's a lot of pressure on him, he is obsessed with his popularity and it's in freefall because of this.

I had to check Sargeant's Twitter to make sure she hadn't gone full fasc, and I was actually pretty reassured that she is framing this as her debating against Andrews. A lot of the rest of her page is support for Zohran because he is a YIMBY.

Among the moderate/popularist election pundits -
Big wins for Lakshya who called the big Virginia and NJ wins and Shor whose form did ad work for Zohran.
Mildly positive for Nate Silver who gets to clown on Ackman.
Big miss for Matt, whose panicking in the past couple days looks really bad now.

I do not think this is at all true. If you look at EA cause prioritization post 2020 human and animal welfare still ranks extremely high.

I really hope it ends up looking more like the renderings, which do seem pretty, and not like the current photos which have all seemed ugly.
The stained glass looks cool, the overall from does not but hopefully that gets fixed as more detail is added.

I distinctly remember Yudkowsky saying something like this and stating regret for raising the salience of AI early on, but can't find it right now. A search for regret on his twitter profile right now comes up with this instead.

Could just replace Zohrans numbers with his yougov neutral+unfavorable then? To match the others.
Lakshyas numbers are almost certainly more accurate but best to compare apples to apples here.

The hill has Pete's net favorable at -0.2. So if we put him in here, and assumed the same familiarity as Gavin, the chart would look like this.

I did favorable and not unfavorable.
But I think the bigger bias here is that these are all people with very high unfavourability, even Gavin and AOC. Not sure why people like Pete and Tim Walz weren't polled. You would except a line like this to be centered at 50.

Wait the actor for Palpatine in ROTJ was only 39 at the time?! 39?!
