I wish people would stop posting these polls. We are 3 months out and people are wringing their hands over these phony polls. The only one that counts is on November 8th.
I post to show how bad the internals are, and illustrate why the polls are a source of amusement like the old, “Mad Magazine”. Everyone claims they are bogus. How they did the party weights explains why they are bogus.... Shortly: The real answer using the Gallup samples.
Trump’s appeal is more to working class / blue collar than Romney. So, the map opens up a bit.
THINK: Romney states + Florida + Ohio + Iowa +
Nevada + New Hampshire = 269 a tie AND VICTORY in the Congress
OR: + Florida + Ohio + Iowa + ...
Wisconsin = 269
OR: + Florida + Ohio + Iowa +
Colorado + Maine 2nd District = 269
Pennsylvania is also in play.
So, while every electoral vote is precious, and we absolutely have to win Florida and at least one of Ohio and Pennsylvania, we have a lot of paths to the White House.
You said the same thing in 2012. I think instead of putting our heads in the sand, we need to be aware of reality of things. I was ignorant like you were in 2012 and was 100 percent shocked we lost the election. I won’t and don’t want to be dumb again like we were in 2012. I remember bragging on election day on Facebook that we have this in the bag.........after announcing Obama was reelected, I had to eat crow and I upset some of my classmate from HS because I had them pretty psyched about Romney winning. We cannot be idiots....sorry I just don’t agree with your post at all.
