Let me tell you why I believe the polls… Because in 2016, the polls were accurate. No, not the state polls. The state polls were way off. The average of the national polls, however, was almost exactly correct.
President Trump lost the national popular vote in 2016 by 2.1 points — and just barely beat Hillary Clinton.

Isn’t Nolte a Never Trumper?
This article alone should preclude the author from voting, sitting on a jury, entering a legal contract, or owning a firearm.
It’s a good thing we don’t elect our presidents by
popular vote. The founders knew what they were doing.
Second, remind me who is the dope in this. Even in a controlled and strictly scripted time-limited environment, he was barely there.
For one, Nolte is conflating polls taken just before the election with polls taken months before. As the pollsters approach the moment of truth, they removed most of their number fudging. Either that, or Clinton’s double-digit lead collapsed just days before the election, because voters deserted her suddenly, en masse. Those Hillary supporters were sure fickle.
Rope a dope?
How does a possum play that while hiding in a basement?
LOL
And placing "Biden" and "brilliantly" within an article title should be a two year felony.
Yes he sure is!
Were sure scared.
Gosh I hope he doesn’t keep doing it!
He’s SURE to win if he does.
I still say it was Tim Kaine’s disastrous VP Debate that clinched it. He looked like a clown.
Remind me to send Nolte a package of Depends....
I think that because of the decision to keep Dementia Joe closeted, the polls right now are still of the nature of “Trump v. not Trump” rather than “Trump v. Biden, with all his issues.” Such polls are always worse for the individual, rather than generic, candidate. I think than when people are actually forced to consider Dementia Joe as the alternative, their will be a distinct swing back to Trump.
I also think its worth remembering that, for just about as long as I have been voting (I am 60), the media has used the polls as a tool in an effort to demoralize conservatives and suppress their turnout, and that trend has gotten progressively worse in this election. To the point where I think a lot of people these days who will in fact vote for Trump are afraid to admit it, even to a pollster.
1 Trump’s record turnout for primaries argue against this.
2 Special elections since 2019 have gone Trump’s way.
3 Biden can’t fill a library(campaign rally).
4 People see Dems pursuing chaos, destruction, anarchy.
5 Democrats refuse publicly to call down the rioters.
6 Same old polling playbook being used.
7 Our side tends to get weak knees very quickly when seeing opposition.
We all know who the dope is.
OTOH, it should require the author of this absurd screed to live, work, and, eventually, attain ground temperature in the CHOP zone...
“Let me tell you why I believe the polls… Because in 2016, the polls were accurate. No, not the state polls. The state polls were way off. The average of the national polls, however, was almost exactly correct.”
All that really matters are electoral college results. National polls don’t offer much.
I do think Biden has engaged in a strategy of “rope-a-dope”. He will hide as much as he can to limit exposure of his dementia. The dems will foster as much discontent as they can and chant their mantra — are you better off than you were four years ago?
Will it work? Who knows? But the strategy seems pretty obvious.
Felony aggravated stupidity.
The excessive hand wringing at Breitbart continues.
I do think that Trump’s Twitter habits are hurting him badly. He is so desperate for good news that he will glom on to anything. And too often lately its the wrong thing and it blows up in his face.
It does not help that the Media is churning out negative propaganda in over-drive. This adds to Trump’s desperation and the Media probably senses that. Yes, they finally got under his skin.
There are some positives though:
1. At some point, Biden will have to come out of his basement. He will have to debate.
2. Voters have a short memory. A lot of what transpires before Labor Day won’t matter in Nov.
3. A lot of people are ticked off by what is happening in the streets and the Cancel Culture. I also think most people are wise to all the Fake news.
4. As in 2016, many who support Trump won’t admit this to pollsters.
