You have the crux of it. I have been a political and news nerd my whole life, but as hard as it is to understand and process poll results like these it does not invalidate the numbers. We live in a country that is influenced and swayed by know-nothing journalist and biased media/culture.

I look at the nation and realize that almost every American is doing much better under this President. Our nation is doing much better under this President. Our situation is far more optimistic than it was only three years ago.

They ignore all of this and generate faux offense because he tweets or they mimic the vitriol of the media or Hollywood to be accepted by their snowflake friends. This is the state of education in our nation today and it does not bode well for our future!

In summary, it is pretty futile to calmly debate or reason with them because they live their life by emotion - not logic.

With that being said, the polls were wrong going into the last election when all Trump really was were campaign promises and a big unknown. Trump has defied polling by the numbers and he has kept his promises so I like his chances in November - especially given the potential democrat opponent.

I lived for 20+ years in a small county in Kentucky and for one term I served as the Chairman of the county Republican Party. The D’s outnumbered us almost two to one and we didn’t win many elections. Well, one year I really learned about voters. We had an excellent candidate for one of those well paid courthouse positions. Because of a bad economy this man’s employer was downsizing and he was being forced into early retirement. In public life he had served as an unpaid mayor of a small town in the county for 29 years. He had given his life to serving the people in many ways and never on a salary. Now, the people had an opportunity to show their appreciation for a person everyone liked and respected. A man who had accomplished many things for them - including serving on the committee that brought the first large industry into the county providing jobs with good wages for the people. I refer to the company from which I draw my pension check. My man was a quiet, organized and very effective in all he did. I thought we had a winner. Plus my guy was an experienced accountant and the job he sought as was an auditor.

Against him ran a young man just out of college who had never held a job in his life - had never lifted his finger to serve the people - but he was also well liked as a person - a nice young man from a well respected family. His campaign slogan was, “I need a job.”

Guess who won. Right - the young man won. Why? Who knows? Those interviewed by the newspaper said they voted for him because he needed a job. The voters turned their backs on the one who had served them so well over many years. So much for the electorate
