“Have you checked out Trump’s unfavorable rating lately? It has gone up, not down.”
Reagan was a sure loser according to the polls in 1980. He was over 30 points behind Carter in the late summer of 1980 according to the polls.
At the time of the election the polls and all of the experts said that the election was “too close to call”. The polls and the media experts all said it was tie.
Reagan won in a landslide.
In 1984, Lou Harris, the head of Harris polling, said Mondale was gaining among women and minorities and was the likely winner. The media experts spoke of the “gender gap” and said women would make the race close.
Reagan won in a landslide.
The polls say Trump has very high unfavorable. The funny thing is despite all the negative media attacks on Trump as racist etc. most people I know say they are going to vote for Trump. People who are not political support Trump. Black people say they want Trump. Women say they want Trump.
Maybe the polls are correct. I remain skeptical.
I don’t know which is the case, the polls being right or historical fact re: Reagan. I do know that Trump is no Reagan. Let’s hope the polls are wrong. As much as I don’t want Trump as the president, I would still prefer him over Hillary or Sanders, any damned day.
But I am pulling and praying for Cruz to win.
