In response to "The New Jersey race should be scary to Dems. Murphy was 8% up in polls. That he’s even really in trouble is scary given the GOP brand in NJ" by Will Hunting

They've definitely overestimated how popular COVID policies and vaccine mandates are with people. Especially independents. -- (edited)

IMO, the vaccine mandate isn't why Biden's numbers with independents starting falling, but it's a huge reason why it kept falling, and hasn't bounced back.

Responses:

It’s not the vaccine mandates. It’s mask mandates and virtual school. As I’ve said here before “covid is over” to the majority of America. -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 06:33 12
- It's both. Lots of people are angry Biden used OSHA to mandate vaccines. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 06:53 7
  - Last poll that was released showed that vaccine mandates had majority approval, and it wasn't close. -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 06:55 5

      - Not true. Latest poll of independents show 44% in favor of vaccine mandates. 48% opposed. -- (edited) - Inigo Nov 3, 07:04 3
        
        44/48 is a tie effectively isn't it? -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 07:08 2
        
        Yeah, probably. But if half of independents are opposed to vaccine mandates, you can see why Biden and Dems lost so much of their support. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:24 1
        
        If half of independents are against vaccine mandates then lets just install our permanent Republican majority and cut my taxes significantly -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 07:26

- I live in a very liberal, reactive, inclusive to a fault area. we have a grocery store downtown that had a mask mandate before they were a thing to - amanda jeans Nov 3, 06:45 2
  - We're required to wear masks on transit here still. I can't count how many time the *bus drivers* aren't wearing masks. - ty97 Nov 3, 06:53
