In Alabama, the Republican party nomination for senator provided a surprisingly large victory (over 25% points with 50% of the vote counted) for Jeff Sessions's opponent, Tommy Tuberville, the former Auburn football coach. This likely ends the long political career of Sessions after Donald Trump supported Tuberville.
It appears that the Trump faithful have determined that the former attorney general's recusal over the Russian investigation cannot be forgiven. Alabamans have decided that a political novice such as Tuberville is preferable for the general election against sitting Senator Doug Jones (D). This is a likely pick-up in the U.S. Senate for Republicans.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that the data for COVID-19 infective rates in Florida is shockingly wrong. It appears that many labs have forgotten to report the negative results and have provided only positive infections. In some areas, the reported positive tests were up to 100%, a virtual impossibility, which alerted skeptical reporters. Some wonder whether the state laboratory data are intentionally being inflated for political purposes.
The media has consistently argued that the Florida situation is proof of Trump's failure regarding the infectivity rates. They conveniently forget to mention the generally lowering national death rates per 1,000 persons. As this information becomes available, the support for Trump in Florida will increase. Further, the reopening of the Disney World parks will help the economy and provide reassurance that schools can reopen, too.
The media routinely avoid any good news that would help Trump's re-election. Perhaps the most convincing evidence has been the performance of the stock market. Again, the return to work is brisker than experts predict as people are allowed to do so by governors.

“Secret”?
Not so much.
More like Stealth.
He may also have something FEARed and threatening to the Dems: coattails!
Another way in which the rioting and looting is going to backfire.
A lot of people are now openly afraid to express support for Trump due to fear of ANTIFA firebombing their house.
But they’ll express it at the ballot box. IF COVID does not give the Left the excuse they need to pervert the election.
Their useless polling just became infinitely more useless.
WRONG! If you read the follow up stories on this news, the labs and hospitals have stated that they did not report the numbers listed by the STATE! Hospitals and other labs reported 1/10th of those listed.
To make a mistake on a few reports is human, to make hundreds of errors is intentional!
We are fed all this BS about Biden winning because of the polls.
..........
It is all contrived because they are not polling likely voters, worthless results.
Jones is just a place holder until the General. He was elected just to keep the set warm...............
I don’t talk politics with most relatives or colleagues. Have a few brainless leftist colleagues and associates, and I let them blather, as the do.
Conservatives working anywhere in government, academia, urban settings, etc… often find it better to simply remain underground.
I also lie to pollsters, and I know others who do the same.
I always check the youtube views for Trump events. In 2016 his rallies were getting around 200,000 views. Starting with the Tulsa rally the views of his events are getting anywhere from 2 MILLION to 7 MILLION views just on youtube. Yesterday’s Rose Garden event has over 1 MILLION views and growing. You can add to that the latest Trump boat rallies in South Carolina and Florida where thousands of boats took part. Tucker Carlson is now getting about 5 MILLION viewers a night. Record breaking gun sales with about 40 percent of them are first time gun buyers. Just about every poll shows that the dem pushed defunding or abolishing the police is opposed by over 70 percent.
Yes, I think there is a big under estimation of Trump’s support.
Even likely voter polls are showing Trump getting shellacked.
Even Republican polls (like Gravis and OAM) are showing Biden and Trump tied in Texas.
If the numbers hold until November, a big if, Trump and the GOP are headed for a historic humiliation.
Always lie to pollsters! Let them think Biden will soar to victory on wings of angels.
Or don’t even answer the phone if you don’t recognize the number. That’s what I do & they never leave a message.
I’ve noticed exactly the same thing, myself, on youtube.
I am going to respectfully disagree and maintain that such assertions amount to wishful thinking in the face of dispiriting polls.
The signs are unmistakable, not only in the Presidential race, but in the House and Senate races, that the GOP is headed for a catastrophe in November, if things don't change drastically.
“unreported support”
Misreported lack of support
If you don’t watch the news you’ll be uninformed.
If you watch the news you’ll be deliberately misinformed.
I predict this election will be the 21st century version of 1972. (Nixon won 49 states).
Better pray they're damn long ones.
We’ll find out in November.
Apparently you weren’t watching in 2016. You are greatly mistaken, or you work at the dnc.
Or hangups
Of which I’ve got to believe are many
Why give this information to a telephone “pollster”?
