Certainly open to being proven wrong, but my sense is that the latest Platner scandals don't significantly change his polling.

I think basically there's kind of three scandals that actually matter: the totenkopf, the diplomatic security work, and the abuse of his ex. My sense is that for the most part the abuse has basically been processed as more of the same, and wherever folks landed on Platner after the first two is essentially where they end up on the third.

There also the other camp, the people from the Democratic right and the Republicans who are of the opinion that Platner's scandals are actually being pro-Palestinian and anti-oligarch, and they're just looking for ways to damage his campaign.
