Here’s a quick rundown of the “Who won the debate?” question.
Drudge poll results Pence 71/29 218,000 votes cast and no double voting allowed.
This is a strong indication of Trump/Pence enthusiasm especially because Drudge Report is no longer a conservative site.

Pollster Frank Luntz says vice president won debate against Harris
A pollster who viewed the vice presidential debate with 15 undecided voters said Vice President Mike Pence was the "clear winner" of Wednesday's prime-time showdown. Frank Luntz said "Mike Pence was the winner of tonight's confrontation."
Luntz said a majority of the voters found Harris's demeanor to be "abrasive and condescending" before noting that Pence came across as "tired but vice presidential" to the group.
".. this was Mike Pence's night," Luntz concluded. He is not a friend or even neutral.
For Luntz to repeatedly say Pence won is significant especially because he insists his panel was comprised of “undecided” voters from Battleground States.

Here It Comes: RNC, Team Trump Launch Digital GOTV Campaign More Than 20x Larger Than 2016 Effort
….With that as the status quo ante, Team Trump and the RNC doubled down on their GOTV strategy, the New York Times reported — tenfold, according to the numbers: With voting underway in more than 30 states, the Republican National Committee has begun a $60 million digital get-out-the-vote campaign that will harness social media, text messages, emails and other platforms to digitally chase voters.
The $60 million investment is a marked jump for the party’s digital get-out-the-vote program, which it invested just $2.9 million in for the 2016 cycle.
“It’s a new priority from the G.O.P.. “They’ve had get-out-the-vote efforts in the past but never to the level that we’re seeing.”
Now we will see the millions of door knocks payoff.

82% of Black People Want More Money Spent Fighting Crime Wed Oct 7, 2020
On the question of whether spending on crime should be increased, decreased, or kept the same, 84 percent of Black respondents said that spending should be increased.
And when asked the same about welfare spending, 28 percent of Black respondents agree that spending should be decreased while only 31 percent adopted the more liberal view that welfare spending should be increased.
And again in June.
A Monmouth University poll however shows that 72% of African-Americans are satisfied with their local police departments.
Despite what you're seeing on television, 21% of African-Americans are very satisfied with the local police and another 51% are satisfied.
Only 5% are very dissatisfied.
Trump has had success in pinning the riots on Democrats. This very wide margin – which has grown since the summer has ended - is a strong sign that African Americans are still moving right toward Republicans and away from Democrats.

The liberal media is once again trying to demoralize Trump nation. Don’t let the liberal media gaslight you. Americans know the importance of this year’s election. It’s Freedom and Prosperity vs. Communism and Collapse Republicans are essentially tied or leading in mail- in voting in Michigan and Illinois.
Michigan Democrats are behind 2016 numbers. With 207,565 ballots accepted in the 3 big DEM counties (Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw), these counties represent about 32.6% of all returned ballots.
In 2016, these 3 counties accounted for 34.0% of all votes cast.
MI Democrats are 1.4% behind 2016.
N.B. In 2016, largely African American Wayne County’s low enthusiasm for Democrats delivered Michigan to Trump.

“Michigan is looking good if the percentage of early mail-in ballots from those 3 big democrat counties is falling behind their share of the early mail-in ballots in 2016.”
Early voting in Illinois
As per TargetSmart.com, in Illinois as of Oct 5, Democrats had requested 58% of mail ballots. Republican had requested 27% Independents 15%.
The returns are: Democrats 44%, Republicans 41% Independents 15%. This means Democrats are under performing by 25% and Republicans are over performing by 51%.
This is a significant indication of enthusiasm on the part of Republican voters.

While the Michigan results portend good things for Trump and GOP Senate candidate John James, the value of this advantage – should it hold- in Illinois is for down ballot races.
It also shows general Republican voter enthusiasm even in a state where Republicans are likely to lose.
So, if Republican enthusiasm in deep blue Illinois is this high, how high is it in states Republicans have won or realize they can win?

IBD/TIPP Poll Shows 22.7% Increase in Economic Optimism; Index Returns to Positive Territory for the First Time Since March
October 06, 2020
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, a leading national poll on consumer confidence, revealed dramatic increases in positive sentiment this month, rising from 45.0 to 55.2 (22.7%) overall.
This brings the index back into positive territory for the first time in seven months. For the IBD/TIPP indexes, a reading below 50.0 indicates pessimism.
“We’ve seen some interesting swings in consumer sentiment throughout the pandemic, but October revealed the biggest gains by far,” said Ed Carson, IBD's news editor.
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index has established a strong track record of foreshadowing the confidence indicators issued later each month by the University of Michigan and The Conference Board.
IBD/TIPP surveyed 1,300 adults, including 1,221 registered voters, from September 30 to October 1. Due to COVID-19, the poll was conducted online using TechnoMetrica’s network of online panels to provide the sample.
This shows the kind of strong optimism we will need to win. It raises the question: Why would these people want to change leadership?

I actually think the Drudge results indicate that most of his viewership is still conservative despite the fact that the site has gone total leftist insane.
If true, then the site stands to lose a lot more viewershp than they already have.
I confess, I still visit there every couple of days, because I think the Coronavirus coverage on FR is one sided and too politicized. So I go to Drudge to get the other extreme.
And I go out of habit. Though I’ve started visiting whatfinger.com more. Drudge’s layout is much better and more concise though.
That, or the results are doctored to reflect that.
*
I don’t go there but I voted in the poll.
I didn’t find one for the Trump/Biden debate the night it took place.
Beautiful Michigan knows it is only one election away from turning into New York.
Thank you!
