Biden Campaign Manager: Polls Are Inflated, Race Is Closer Than Media Believes

[Link at the URL]: The media has been hyping polls showing that Joe Biden is up double-digits as of late – but even the Biden campaign isn’t buying them.

After all, the polls had Hillary Clinton boasting a lead of 14-points against Donald Trump in late-October 2016, and we all know how that turned out.

According to The Hill:

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, says the race against President Trump is “far closer” than conventional wisdom suggests.

Dillon warned over Twitter on Wednesday night that the contest is “a lot closer.”

The Biden campaign is in desperation, Biden is screaming at rallies, they invested little to no money in a ground game, they are spending more money on ads in Nebraska than in Texas, and...

The Biden campaign zero voter enthusiasm and since the MSM has been reporting the polls show double digits all the way until now, they are saying this now because voting tabulations in many states Dems need show their lead is nowhere near where it usually is in states where they do well in all early voting and in other battleground states, Biden needs they are behind.

And these models dont look good for Biden:

Helmut Norpoth’s election model (which has factored in wars, etc) is based on turnout during the primaries, producing the correct result for 25 out of the last 27 presidential elections that featured primaries, and predicts a red wave in 2020 where Trump will get over 350 in the Electoral College.

Helmut Norpoth, Democracy Institute, Trafalgar Group, and Kevin McCullough all got it right in 2016. These 4 models now all predict Trump wins in 2020.

They’ve figured out that Vote By Mail won’t win this for them.
They’ve figured out that most Democrats aren’t planning to vote on Election Day.
They are scrambling to initiate a Get Out The Vote effort 2 weeks before the election.

FAIL

Biden runs commercials that show what an angry man he truly is.

Trump is a friend of Israel who has had its well-being and peace in mind during his presidency.

Trump loves our military, but hates war.

Can anybody name a major party presidential candidate angrier than Biden?

I don’t think it is possible to do accurate polls any more.
Many houses don’t have landlines.
Many people probably look at the their cell phones, see an unidentified number, say “Who the heck is that?” and silence the ringer.
And some of people who actually answer, especially conservatives, lie to pollsters.

I live in MA and didn’t request a vote by mail ballot but got one anyway.It has to be put into another envelope with my name and address pre printed on it, and I attest that this is really me.So I mailed it. (I work for USPS...was going to do early voting in person).
Sat morning across from the local post office (I work for a big sorting facility 20 mi away) there were some Trump supporters holding US and Trump flags.
I saw a man who appeared visibly upset at
them, yelling something.

Some car horns beeped in support of
Trump, I think. One woman driving by shouted out, “F-— Trump” and laughed.
At city hall some blocks away a line of people waited to go in. First day of early voting.Guessing most were Dems.

No ID required.Anyone who was aware of my
name and address could have gone in and claimed to be me and be handed a ballot.
That is just wrong.
As far as I know there have been no reports of people showing up and being told, “your name is crossed off..” So who
knows.

Voter fraud is a crime though.
Suppose someone is registered in multiple places.A college student from NH is registered in his hometown there...and they attend a college in MA and live in a dorm—registered in that town too.

Illegal aliens getting registered...
Anyone notice the total “get out and vote” messages on TV, facebook, etc? This year it’s bigger than ever. Corporations and various left leaning groups remember what
happened in 2016.
Electoral votes matter though.Hillary could have won some states by big margins..but lost some states narrowly.
The “blue wall” collapsed.The popular vote margin was hers, but electoral votes are
what really count.Thus the move to
ditch the electoral college.

Early voting has already made polls “old news”.

Biden is toast.

Here is a video that walks you through the early voting and what it means:

I would encourage every Freeper to watch this if they have not done so already.

We have got this.

Nate Silver says that the mail-in vote has to be a 70/30 split between Dems and Reps for Biden to overcome the massive GOP election day turnout and win the White House. Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin currently show the split about even at about 40/40 in each state. In FL, the same numbers.

Silver also posits that most Dems mailed in their ballots as soon as possible. If that is true, the Dems have fired their best shot and have missed the target.

That may explain this message from Team Biden.

No, Biden is ahead by 20, Democrats don’t even need to go to the polls on election day, and that’s good because they can stay safe, follow the science and not get covid.

If it’s so close, how the heck is he calling a “lid” till Thursday? Do they think their “get out the vote” (fraud) campaigns are that good?

They know the Hunter extortion implicates Biden and they need to hide him for two more weeks.
