Summary
John Frer and Dan Pfeiffer analyze the latest New York Times Siena polls, noting Democrats' strong leads in Michigan and New Hampshire but a surprisingly tight race in Maine. They discuss Trump's media crackdown, a judge's ruling restoring press access, and Republican candidates distancing themselves from the president amid the Iran war. The hosts also critique a controversial government ad and debate whether the current polling environment is too good to be true for Democrats.
