A new Gallup survey shows registered voters overwhelmingly believe they are better off under President Trump than they were four years ago under Obama-Biden.
The numbers are rather startling considering national polls show former Vice President Joe Biden leading Trump by wide margins nationally.
...
It should be noted that this survey was conducted prior to two events that may have hurt Trump in the polls – the presidential debate, and the President’s coronavirus diagnosis.

And that’s great...but it was before the debate and the him getting the virus?
What is it almost 2 weeks old? :)
Still, the debate and the virus should affect these numbers Not At All.
The Democrats are going to cheat.
Pollsters no longer have the ability to conduct accurate polls.
Response rates have plummeted. They averaged 6% in 2016 because of increased cell phone usage and reporters wondered if pollsters could still conduct accurate polls at those low levels. As we know, they couldn’t.
Trafalgar (who displays response rates...most pollsters don’t) is now down to 1 - 2%. Pollsters are having a very difficult time getting “representative samples.”
Most people won’t answer their phones. Republicans are 5 times more likely to not participate in polls generally.
Recent study reported 11% of republicans, 10% of independents and 5% of democrats will not disclose who they are voting for.
Pretty safe bet most of them plan to vote for Trump since the media has demonized Trump supporters.

We now have two battleground states with large percentages of voters — who skew heavily conservative, with only liberals being the exception — telling us they are uncomfortable revealing to pollsters their political beliefs, such as for whom they intend to vote.

Democrats have gaslighted themselves by scaring Trump supporters into silence and then believing the polls they made worthless by scaring Trump supporters into silence. Face with tears of joy
“This is the highest number ever recorded. How can he possibly be trailing Biden?”
Many of our fellow citizens are over indulged morons. They know things are better with Trump, but feel bad because, well, orange man bad. Their TV says so.
They are willing to jump into the toilet so they can feel better about their president. And then, when things really get bad, those little damaged snowflakes will scream the loudest. Because government is supposed to be a benevolent daddy.
