Donald Trump is facing the prospect of a landslide loss
CNN ^ | June 25,2020 | Chris Cillizza

(CNN)A half dozen new swing-state polls released Thursday morning suggest that not only would President Donald Trump lose if the election were held today, he would lose in a landslide.

The surveys, conducted by The New York Times and Siena College, show Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden by double digits in Michigan (Biden +11), Wisconsin (Biden +11) and Pennsylvania (Biden+ 10) and by mid-single digits in North Carolina (Biden +9), Arizona (Biden +7) and Florida (Biden +6).

Trump won every one of those states in the 2016 election. Switch them from red to blue and you can quickly see just how bad hings look for Trump at the moment.

And, thanks to CNN's handy dandy "Road to 270" interactive electoral maps, we can do just that! Give Biden those six states -- Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Florida -- and keep the rest of the 2020 map just as it was in 2016, and the Democratic nominee has 333 electoral votes to just 205 for Trump. That would be a larger Electoral College margin than President Barack Obama won with in his 2012 reelection.

But even that doesn't capture how dark things could get for Trump. Consider: * A Quinnipiac University poll in Ohio released Wednesday showed Biden at 46% to Trump's 45%. (A Fox News poll released in early June showed Biden at 47% to Trump's 45%). If Ohio went to Biden, he would be at 351 electoral votes. * A Des Moines Register poll earlier this month put Trump at 44% and Biden at 43% in Iowa. Give Biden Iowa and he's at 357 electoral votes.

Chris, you idiot. I'll put up 5,000.00 that Trump will win IF you put up 5,000.00 saying the genius Biden will win. Are you just talk?
ALL of these piss-ants should be asked that same question and get their results posted.

What in the actual F are you smoking?
Do you sincerely not know President Trump’s current platform for this election? Do you live under a rock?

I just can’t, idiotic comments like this make me realize this site is NOT where the smart people hang out.

I think I hear Carly calling for ya

If you look at the poll internals you will find that it is weighted Dem in the amount of the lead for the democRAT.

Poll X has Biden leading by 8 points, you will see that it’s D+8 for sample

Typically it’s R approx 20%, D - almost 40% and I - almost 40% where D & I are one in the same.

Actually, in this case, running scared may be a good thing. It will motivate our side more than the 'Rats. It will help fund raising (which I for one will do again when I'm done here). For those states with a 'Pub SoS, be ready to toss any and all boxes of ballots that "just happen to turn up" days or weeks after the election. In those states with 'Rat SoS, the 'Pubs better lawyer up and fight like hell against those "lost and found" ballots that somehow all go to the 'Rat candidate.

Sometimes people respond best when they think the chips are down and we have to rise to the challenge. If the 'Rats and the media are going to play these games, maybe we can turn them top our advantage.

How much of a “change” does he think Biden will be? Cripes, the man has been in Washington for going on 50 years and has done little other than run his mouth. Biden will be more of the same failed ‘Rat-socialist-leftist ideology. How is that a change?

Today's poll dump has President Trump with only an 8% probability of winning. My model of the polls indicates an Electoral College result of Biden 361 - Trump 177.

In the Senate, Republicans are holding on with a weighted average of 50.75 seats, and a 51% probability of winning.

Obviously, the Presidential polls are heavily biased. In the Senate, there aren't enough seats done with their primaries to get a read on things (given the biased polling).

In any case, we need to see the implications of these misleading polls.

CNN + NYTimes + Siena college: Translation = push polls & public relations push polls

If enough people can be convinced a poll is right, some portion of the sheeple always decide to move the way the poll is reportedly going. It does actually work sometime.

The odds sound a lot better for him, than in the last election. He only had a 1% chance of winning in 2016, according to the #fakepolls from the #fakenews media.

Biden has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Trump should keep pointing that out and run TV adds detailing Biddens NPD:

Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

Become impatient or angry when they don’t receive special treatment
Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

I looked it up in the dictionary and Bidden was given as an example.
