Some Encouraging Stats From History

Heard these on the radio tonight.

Joe Biden is the first Presidential challenger to lead the incumbent in the polls for the entire month of May since Jimmy Carter did it in 1976 (and Jimmy Carter won).

Joe Biden is the first Presidential challenger in HISTORY to lead the incumbent in the polls EVERY MONTH of the year of the election.

Joe's got a commanding 11-point lead right now, which I would bet is far and away the biggest lead a challenger has had in May.

Yes, we still need to do the work and bring this thing home, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
