Recent polls could hardly be more reassuring for voters who want to be done with Donald Trump. “Biden Builds Largest Lead This Year,” a CNN headline declared. “Biden Hits 55%–41% Against Trump in Biggest National Poll Lead Yet,” reported The Daily Beast. “Republicans should be petrified by the polls,” a Washington Post opinion piece asserted. Yet the polls also frighten Democrats who, four years ago, got their hopes up amid favorable numbers for Hillary Clinton.
Noting reports that Joe Biden holds a healthy lead in Michigan—one of three Rust Belt states in which Trump narrowly upset Clinton—Representative Debbie Dingell told participants in a recent online Democratic campaign event, “I don’t believe these numbers.” And Dingell, who introduced herself at the event as “Debbie Downer,” has standing to dispute polls that look rosy for her party. In 2016, she’d warned me that the Clinton campaign was going badly in Macomb County—the suburban home of the white, working-class, Catholic voters whom my research decades earlier had labeled “Reagan Democrats.” Dingell’s fear that Clinton could lose Michigan was borne out.
But this moment is very different. To start, during the summer and fall of 2016, Clinton never had the kind of national poll lead that Biden now has. She led by an average of four points four months before the election and the same four points just before Election Day.

Ignore polls and ignore predictions. Get out and vote, get out and campaign, get out the checkbook and make a donation. President Trump must be reelected and the Senate must stay Republican majority at the very least.
Thanks for all of the support from fellow FReepers.

I intend vote 5.56 times if needed
On June 26 2016, Hilary Clinton was leading by an average of 12 points in the RCP average.
Same date this year Bidden was leading by 9.5%.
If anything, Biden is leading by a lower average margin than Hilary Clinton was. Even accounting for the fact that every single media poll is fake and fraudulent.
What we have here is a deliberate, systematic all out attempt by the media to drive down voter enthusiasm and turn iut for Trump. It has to be totally rejected at all costs.
Time: Hillary Clinton Leads Donald Trump by 14 Points
Reuters: With 11 days to go before the U.S. presidential election, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton leads Republican Donald Trump by 15 percentage points
CNN: Hillary Clinton has a 12-point lead over Donald Trump
New York Post: Clinton leads Trump by 12 points among likely voters nationally
Washington Post: Poll finds Clinton has widened lead ahead of Trump to 8 points
What makes anyone think that even if someone does answer the pollsters call, that the pollster writes down what he wants. Example, say he or she contacted a Trump supporter and asks who they will vote for. The person might write down Biden even if the person said Trump. Don’t believe ANY poll. They are Madison Avenue propaganda...
The polls referenced in this article are about two weeks old. They have all evened out by now.
Sigh...
There is no way Trump has lost a single voter he had in 2016. Any poll showing a 10+ lead is a JOKE. Trump received 46% of the popular vote. That is the LOWEST he should be getting in these National polls. This will come down to SWING states as it always does.
The National “Horse Race Polls” are WORTHLESS.
It is like The Atlantic is pleading to people to believe their garbage.
Yes. You and countless others. Polls can't measure that kind of thing, but it's all the Left has, so the fake polls will persist right up to Election Day.
Yassss....believe them liberals....
Gotta stoke the flames for the planned november riots...looting...arson...and murder
They already know they’ve lost....
Now its just a set up for outrage.
