Kenosha Wisconsin was the site of the latest AntiFa/BLM rioting. In the wake of a police shooting, the city of 100 thousand on the shores of Lake Michigan went up in flames. At one point, the rioters were shooting at cops.

A new Gallup poll shows that Americans claiming to be Democrats or affiliated with the party dropped by two points since the same poll was conducted in June. Enthusiasm for the Republican Party, however, increased by three points, shrinking the Democratic advantage five points. The spread in the poll is 48% Dem vs 43% republican. The same poll shows a slight increase in the President’s approval rating, which is now at 42%.
