WA-SEN (Tarrance Group/Smiley internal): Murray +5

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

anyone mentioning "pre-Dobbs" or "post-Dobbs" should not be taken seriously

I agree it won't massively change the landscape, but surely it could have some impact to the Ds favor, no?
How can you justify such a complete no-exceptions rule on something with great potential to shape the political narrative? Especially as those who might use those terms might have some keen insights on other issues, at the very least?

I'm not saying it won't have an impact, I'm saying dividing the entire election into two eras of "pre-Dobbs" and "post-Dobbs" is overestimating the impact it'll make.

Ok.
That is milder than I read your statement as saying, and much more defendable.
