And he’s always ahead by an unbelievable amount. We saw this 4 years ago.

well, those in charge of DNC figured they got an illegal alien or ineligible candidate elected twice,
so they can get a senile old guy who has to hide in his basement to avoid embarrassing himself, also elected.
But just to be sure, they have him saddled with an ineligible Veep candidate. The idea being that the voters like to elect ineligible people.

or something like that

My Dad said that we get the governments we deserve. I hate that “royal” we....but his observation is so very regrettably correct

They are trying to work the dem base so they freak out again when Trump wins. Setting up for riots.

I think Joe Biden is ahead 50 to 45 right now. Trump might be able to pull a narrow Electoral college victory just like’16.

The old method of more honest polling closer to the election is gone. Sure, Carter was beating Reagan in September, etc.. Used to, they would try to save face by polling more honestly in the last few weeks. Four years ago we all heard from people (including Freepers) about how the polls “weight” the samples to correct any and all oversampling issues. No pollster ever seems to have to correct for oversampling Republicans. Their new thing is to massively over-sample urban and suburban Republicans and independents. That’s in addition to predicting massive turnout for Democrats. They just lie.

I discussed this on another thread recently--so I will now quote myself :-) :

I have a theory as to what is happening—I call it the “Bangladesh Effect”.

Let us suppose that one of us, who knows nothing about the electorate of Bangladesh, were asked to conduct polling of Bangladesh voters for their next presidential election.

How would we decide who to poll?

How would we decide how to weigh the results?

We would have no clue—and the effort would be a joke.

So, my argument is that the pollster organizations, and the mass media elites that hire them, know as little about the actual American electorate as you and I know about the Bangladesh electorate.

The pollsters live in a left-wing bubble, and have no clue what the average American believes or what motivates them to turn out to vote.

A good example of this was the issue of illegal immigration.

Pollsters would do “issue polling” and give respondents an opportunity to list the most important issues to them. Up until very recently illegal immigration was not one of the choices. Therefore it was ignored by the mass media as an important issue. Worse than that, the term “illegal alien” was actually banned by Associated Press for media outlets in 2013 in their style-book, so the poll question could never even be asked correctly.

So, what are the “hidden issues” the pollsters don’t know about today?

I would argue there are three new issues that they do not understand:

—Covid restrictions and their impact on the economy

—Cancel culture and big tech and big corporate bias and limits on free speech

—Rioting in the cities that makes law and order and support for the police critical

The President is on the winning side of these issues, the Democrats are on the losing side of these issues—and the pollsters will never see it coming.

All the money being donated to Biden will not make a difference because that money can’t vote. The people are not going to be fooled.

There’s another major factor with the media that’s not talked about enough.

Elections are like Christmas for them.

Political advertising must be paid for at FULL RATE, and IN ADVANCE. Or it doesn’t go on the air.

You BET they want their bought-and-paid-for pollsters to make every race look competitive until the bitter end, so BOTH candidates keep buying, and buying, and buying ...

Meant to excite their base(to vote)

Meant to depress our base(to not)

Typical MSM spin...sometimes it works, other times, not.

So what has been different since 1980, when Reagan was going to lose to Jimmah Carter.

Trump according to the MSM was going to lose to Hillary in 2016.

No of course not. GRANDPA Groundhog is just loved by everyone. We all love socialism and being ruled by people who hate America. The polls will get crazier before they start telling the truth. In North Carolina they are gaslighting us and telling us Cunningham is leading now that his sex scandal has broken
North Carolina is the biggest Military and biggest Evangelical state but they still lie
