The longer this nonsense goes on before the election, the adults on both sides of the political isle will wake up and vote R. Working people always vote with their wallets. Today, we see a mob run amok and zeroing in on the majority.

I would think Trump’s response to COVID-19 and civil unrest would give him the advantage.

How many people have just said "No" to pollsters? I know I have. I'm sick of their constant calling, so I take active measures to discourage them, even hanging up on them.

Why? I have no confidence that my responses will be private. It's as simple as that.

As many others on FR have said, the only poll they willingly respond to is the one in November, run by the States.

When every poll suggests that Trump will lose, it is easier to convince people the election was stolen.

You worry to much.

Events in this country are shaping up to make people vote Trump, or perish in uncertainty.

I thought the author was going to argue that as long as the cooked polls show Biden in the lead, the less likely it is that the Dem powers force him to step aside, and that they will likely wait until it is too late

Of the 78 polls started after September 21, 2016, 73 had Clinton winning, four had Trump winning, and one was a tie.

The polls modeled the popular vote, and they were correct.

The polls are a crock. Anyone who thinks Biden can beat Trump, I wish they’d call me. I have a bridge to sell them.

Yes, I made a few trips to NYC while Rudy was still in charge. It was quite amazing at 1 am to see people walking their dogs and chatting with their neighbors.

He nailed it with “One broken window.”

And of what earthly use is that, as long as there is an Electoral College?

I’m not saying the popular vote should prevail. Obviously, that’s not our system.

But the polls were not wrong. They predicted Hillary’s majority over Trump quite accurately.

Great analysis.

Just like the Faux poll with biden ahead by 10 points but lagging in the enthusiasm measure by a whopping margin....

Seems like contradictory indicators even if I fall for that of those answering

The game hasn’t even started yet. It’s still preseason.


Great analogy, and I’ll add its even in preseason training camp as Joey hasn’t reported for camp yet by hiding in his basement.

Polls may be cooked also to “ protect Joey & his son/Obama” from a real investigation into Ukraine, and all the other Obama era tricks.

With him as the candidate they can always claim unfair, and I for one believe Barr
commented on he and Obama not be a subject “ at this point” based on that reason.

To me I hope Johnson, Barr,Durham heat up the underbelly characters sufficiently that they will turn their tunes onto “ we were only following orders:

For a dim that is real dream, but hopefully the goods and real jail time will yield that result.
