Let me guess, the numbers at this time in 2016 were telling a similar story. And probably so in 1980 and 1984 even.
Polls are meaningless at this point—6 months before the election. So much can happen between now and the election.
I suspect most of these polls are push polls, as they can always get more accurate later.
I think the Trump base is going to vote in spades. democrat enthusiasm under Biden will be nil. Trump votes mobbing the polls will not vote for a democrat period.
Totally different from 2018 with Donald on the ballot this time.
You may want to consider stopping that subscription to the New York Times.
No - not happening. Not because I say so but because of the signs we see. In crappy CNN poll Trump hits all time high. Enthusiasm for Trump is + 19 pts. Trump/RNC set RECORD for fundraising in April - April when 15% out of work. Republicans are united as never before. Trump will run on “I need help to do it again, look what I did without help.” Obamagate is exploding. Now even when they steal the seat in California we know how much fraud we have to fight.
Six months to the election. A lot can happen.
Fortunately Something Crazy lost the primary with only about 7% of the vote.
I think the realistic pick ups for Democrats right now are ME, AZ, and CO. The polling on the others will probably tighten the closer we get to November. I wouldn’t write off Michigan completely either right now because of the antipathy toward the governor.
worthless blog
What has the Republican led Senate done to DESERVE reelection?
Pretty much the most useless bunch of idiots on the planet except for the House. McConnell is a useless, back-stabbing girly-man that I’m not even sure is quite human. A handful of them are good people, but the majority are corrupt swamp creatures that deserve to be cleaning out sewers somewhere, not running our government.
And those are the Republicans I’m talking about. The RATS, of course, are several notches below THEM.
Too early
The GOP just won a blue seat in California, improved by more than 6 points in a California State Senate seat and the relatively unknown Tiffany nearly matched Trumps 2016 percentage in Wisconsin and you come on here and post dubious polling and act “concerned?”
I am sick and tired of the doom and gloom from ‘our’ side. So called ‘conservatives’ do it over and over and over.
You just posted a worst case scenario and then in typical coward fashion deemed it to be “likely.
You are the perfect patsy that polls are designed for. They are designed to discourage, defeat and demoralize. They are counting on cowards to fall for the narrative.
I am SICK of this crap. Liberals don’t ever look forward to the next defeat, they are always looking for the next way to win. That’s the big problem with our side. We always seem to be ready to throw in the towel the first time things look tough.
Liberals don’t care. They lose and immediately move on for the next fight.
We don’t need punching bags and cowards who are always claiming the sky is falling and who preach doom and gloom.
We need fighters who never, ever quit.
If you can’t hold the line, go back to your safe space and make way for someone who will.
I’m here in Colorado and we have been inundated by people from out-of-state. Progs whose businesses have moved from high tax areas or who have been demographically displaced.
Cory Gardner is never heard from, never stands up for anything and most people don’t know who he is.
For Republicans this election is going to turn on Turnout.
It means that GOTV efforts will have to be organized on the county/precinct level. It means planning, followup, review, analysis.......contact with the base is very time consuming, takes a lot of effort.
It all depends what you want out of the election. Miracles don’t happen without a lot of work.
You get the government you vote for, and you work for.
Sigh... GA is not in play... anyone citing you a poll showing BIDEN winning GA is just as ludicrous as the polls early in 2016 cycle showing Hillary up 10 there... stupid.
I don't believe that for a minute.
There was a red wave yesterday.
Not unless they cheat. People are getting tired of their Nazi virus antic shutdowns.
Left wingers: causing a depression for political advancement.
On the other hand, the Republican Party no longer represents or can even articulate a clear political philosophy.
Trump is the closest thing the GOP has to a national leader, but Trump has never been a Conservative.
Before COVID-19, he did a good job of improving the economy.
However, my top two issues are massive LEGAL immigration and out of control federal spending.
Even before COVID, Trump badly failed on both of those challenges.
Win or lose in 2020, Trump will be the last Republican president in American history.
Trump postponed the GOP’s political suicide, but he did nothing consequential to stop it.
With luck, we’ll end up with a 50-50 split, with VP Pence breaking the tie.
