A local family is asking the public’s help in finding their missing dog after a crash claimed the life of its owner on Sunday, April 6.

“If you live near #Likely Road or the surrounding woods and neighbourhoods, please check your property, under decks, in sheds and near water sources,” said Mary Sword who has been in contact with the family. She also said to check outbuildings and along tree lines or bush trails.

The Williams Lake Tribune · Family searches for dog after fatal crash near Williams LakeBy Williams Lake Tribune Staff

Most recently, and perhaps impressively, ♦️Bloomberg/Morning Consult has released a new batch of seven #battleground state polls taken from July 24-28.

Overall, they showed Harris #leading Trump by one percent (48 to 47 percent), as compared to a two-point Trump lead over Biden in early July.

The individual state gains by Harris were also striking:

she led by two percent (49 to 47 percent) in #Arizona, a real problem state for Biden;

by two percent (47 to 45 percent) in #Nevada;

by two percent (49 to 47 percent) in #Wisconsin;

and by an astonishing 11 percent (53 to 42 percent) in #Michigan.

Harris was tied with Trump in #Georgia at 47 percent,

and trailed him by two percent (46 to 48 percent) in #North #Carolina

and by four percent (46 to 50 percent) in #Pennsylvania.

Three battleground states have enough post-Biden-Harris-switch polling now for ♦️FiveThirtyEight to compile averages,
and all of them show very close races.

In #Georgia, Trump leads by 1.1 percent (45.9 to 44.8 percent),

but Harris leads in #Michigan by 1.8 percent (44.8 to 43.1 percent)

and most surprisingly, in #Pennsylvania by 0.4 percent (45.1 to 44.6 percent).

There is also significant evidence that Harris is doing better than Biden among the
#young, #Black, and #Latino voting categories on which Biden’s 2020 win depended.

In the most recent ♦️Times-Siena poll, she leads Trump among under-30 #likely voters by 59 percent to 38 percent,

among #Black likely voters by 72 percent to 19 percent,

and among #Latino likely voters by 60 percent to 36 percent.

A new Axios–Generation Lab poll of 🔸18 to 34-year-old voters showed
Harris expanding a six-point Biden lead (53 percent to 47 percent) to 🔥20 points (60 percent to 40 percent).

More generally, Harris is becoming more popular than Biden. FiveThirtyEight’s favorability averages for Harris currently show her at 42.4 percent favorable/49.1 percent unfavorable, up from a 36/54 ratio a month ago, and distinctly better than Biden’s 38/54 margin when he dropped out of the race.
