The poll of 1,000 registered voters, taken by landline and cellphone Wednesday through Sunday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. The sample of 374 Republicans and independents who lean to the Republican Party has an error margin of 5.1 points. The findings are a red flag for Trump, whose core support has held remarkably solid through firestorms over his personal behavior, his provocative rhetoric, and his most controversial actions in the White House.
Those circumstances would make it a clutch blast in the middle of June. Given that it happened in a potential pennant-clincher, calling it "clutch" undersells the feat and the moment. The lead that Harper gave them would hold up, and they're now headed to the World Series to face either the Houston Astros or New York Yankees.
MLB rumors: Mets listening on Carlos Carrasco trade
Regardless of what becomes of the Phillies in the World Series, Harper has authored one of the most memorable moments in Phillies history and one of the biggest home runs in the annals of the MLB postseason. The Florida governor, who last month sailed to a second term in the Sunshine State, has significant standing nationwide. Two-thirds of Republican and Republican-leaning voters, 65%, want him to run for president in 2024.
The home run off a 2-2 sinker from lockdown reliever Robert Suarez turned a 3-2 Philadelphia Phillies deficit into a 4-3 lead over the San Diego Padres in the eighth inning of NLCS Game 5. It also put the Phillies, up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, three outs from advancing to the World Series for the first time since 2009 and for just the eighth time in franchise history. They closed things out in the ninth and are headed to the World Series for the first time since 2009. Framed another way, Harper's homer advanced the Phils' chances of winning Game 5 from 40.1 percent to 86.9 percent. Bryce Harper's go-ahead home run in the eighth inning of NLCS Game 5 that secured a 4-3 win over the Padres and an NL pennant is most definitely playing on a loop in Phillies fans' households right at this moment .

Harper laid the groundwork for that home run by laying off a 1-2 changeup from Suarez. As he told Ken Rosenthal moments after touching home plate, that had him looking for something hard, and he got it. He also turned it around at 108.9 mph off the bat and sent it 382 feet to the opposite field.
Some Republican strategists blame Trump and his influence for the GOP's failure to win control of the Senate in November. Candidates he helped recruit and support in Arizona, Georgiaand Pennsylvania lost races that independent analysts thought might have been won by more traditional candidates. Two-thirds of GOP and GOP-leaning voters want DeSantis to run. Republican support for another Trump bid has significantly eroded.
Guardians Set To Sign Free Agent Catcher Mike Zunino
Since October, his favorable rating has ticked up a percentage point, to 46%, and his unfavorable rating is down a point, to 50%. But support among Democrats for him to seek a second term has declined, to 40% from 45%. The polls taken in July and December were of registered voters.
Let's set the scene before hitting you with some beautiful home run footage. Alvarez came to the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning with runners on first and third and one out in the inning. The Phillies, who had taken a 1-0 lead in the top half of the frame on a Kyle Schwarber home run, elected to replace right-handed starter Zack Wheeler with left-handed reliever José Alvarado.
Well, for those of you out there who want to see the NLCS MVP's clutch homer from a different view, we've got you covered. But this team has thrived on adversity all season long, and the heartbeat of the team stepped up with one of his biggest postseason moments in his career. Jose Ramirez took a McClanahan off-speed pitch and drilled it 389 feet over the centerfield fence into the bullpen. Among all voters, Trump has fallen further behind President Joe Biden in a hypothetical head-to-head rematch. Now, Biden would win a general election matchup by 47% to 40%. (Because of the effects of rounding, Biden's margin is a bit wider than that indicates, at 7.8 points.) In October, Biden also led but by a narrower margin, 46%-42%.
The Guardians blanked the Rays the rest of the game after taking that 2-1 lead, and got great pitching from Shane Bieber in taking the Game 1 victory. Cleveland's superstar third baseman Jose Ramirez put the Guardians up 2-1 in the opening game of the A.L. The team has the tying run on third base, with the go-ahead run on second. A go ahead home run is where you have the lead by more than 2 and hit a home run.
Unfortunately for Phillies manager Rob Thomson and crew, that decision did not pay off. DeSantis' success may depend on having a one-on-one contest with Trump, Paleologos cautioned. While Biden now leads Trump, he trails DeSantis in a head-to-head race, with DeSantis at 47% and Biden at 43%.

By 2-1, GOP and GOP-leaning voters now say they want Trump's policies but a different standard-bearer to carry them. While 31% want the former president to run, 61% prefer some other Republican nominee who would continue the policies Trump has pursued. Republican support for Donald Trump's presidential bid in 2024 has cratered, an exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds, as the former president is beleaguered by midterm losses and courtroom setbacks. "For me, he's the best player in baseball. Not only the way how he plays the game, but I see his mentality, his energy, and his happiness that he comes with to the field every day makes him different and a unique player." After Jose Siri launched his first career post-season home run in the top of the sixth inning, Cleveland faced it's first adversity of the day.
