2024 Generic Ballot / Recruitment / Fundraising / Ratings Megathread

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Lots of interesting tidbits in this piece including:

-GOP is trying to talk Tiffany Smiley and Joe O'Dea into running for "battleground House seats."
-Jaime Herrera Beutler and Peter Meijer are considering comeback campaigns.
-Bill G. Schuette, the young son of the former Michigan AG and recently-elected State Rep, is the desired recruit to run against Dan Kildee.
-Derrick Anderson, George Hansel, and Theresa Gavarone are being asked to run for their respective seats again.
-Democrats want Hodge, Engel, Rollins, and Chen to run again.
-Kurt Schrader is not going to run again.
-Andy Levin not ruling out running against John James.

Rollins will be an interesting one. I thought he did quite well considering the lack of attention the race got. But I also wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Democrats dip their toes in after seeing just how close the district actually is.

It reminds me a lot of Issa & CA-49. Doubly so if Calvert doesn't run again like I almost expect.

Can't quite put my finger on it, but I take it folks won't be nearly upset about Rouda & Baugh announcing in the middle of a storm as they were with Porter

We're like 21 months away from the 2024 Election. Election ratings shouldn't be given any semblance of seriousness until 6-8 months out at the earliest

Party favorability-

Republicans: 32/57% (-25)
Democrats: 42/48% (-6)

Just more proof that the GOP is given more benefit of the doubt by the public, unfortunately. They literally have been a mess for two weeks straight and their favorability shows it, and yet they're still tied in the GCB.

This exact comment could've been made at almost any time in the last decade
