Yes, and I think it is huge. Think about how many lib and independent voters who simply cannot abide what is going on, are nevertheless afraid to death to own that they will be voting to oust Antifa/BLM enablers, who simply want their own peace and quiet restored.
Can’t imagine too many elderly libs thinking, “I like what these “peaceful protesters” stand for.” I can’t think that there are really that many mid-30’s to mid-50’s White males thinking to themselves, “Well, I had a nice run. Time to turn my job prospects/career (life?) over to the “Own Your White Privilege” crowd.” Find it hard to believe that there won’t be a change of voting attitude among Blacks living at or near ‘ground zero’ where all these protests have resulted in destroyed Black businesses, ransacked businesses convenient to poor Blacks neighborhoods, etc.
Thank you. I did watch 2016. I believe the polls are much more accurate this time. In addition, the Trump campaign believes them, and is acting accordingly - i.e. completely on the defensive.
The enthusiasm factor for Trump is 30+ points higher than for Biden.
Trump supporters are enthusiastic Trump supporters.
Biden supporters are Trump haters.
If by “unreported” the author means “the media don’t want to admit they exist”, then yes. “Control the narrative” has been canon for so long now that many in the media are actually dismayed when reality doesn’t follow along, and blame reality for it.
Yes, that is certainly true. That is the one big thing in Trump’s favor. If, for example, there is a devastating snowstorm in the upper Midwest the day of the election, I believe this huge enthusiasm gap will be the deciding factor.
Agree. This is what is happening. People just don’t want the trouble. I’ll make my vote count on election day. The left has made their own polls irrelevant. They’re supposed to be a tool to gauge how a candidate is doing in various areas. Now they’ve created such a hostile environment they won’t get accurate results, even if they’re trying to be honest. They’re utter garbage now.
Their skewing of poll results is intended to drive a desired outcome, make it look like their candidate is ‘winning’ and how everyone should be excited to vote for them. Now they’ve created the opposite, nobody believes them (especially trying to prop up Biden!), and nobody wants to be honest anyway. So they destroyed one of their favorite tools. Nice job.
Presidents Romney and Hillary both say you’re right about the polling.
When you go to the internals of the major polls, you can see right away that it is all fake. Under polling Republicans, over polling democrats and polling democrats that say they are Republican. No way does Trump get only 74% of the Republican vote. And if you go to the electoral map, there is many, many paths to a Trump win and a very long, long shot for a democrat.
And the Biden campaign planks just released cement some key states for Trump.
The defeat of traitor-dwarf Jeff Sessions was a wonderful and beautiful thing.
Sessions lost because he was a dim-witted traitor who confused his actions with “honor, integrity” and a few other buzzwords he is completely lacking in.
Covid-19 conspiracy b.s had nothing to do with Sessions losing. How this article reaches such a conclusion is beyond me.
I think both sides have been set up to believe they absolutely can’t lose this time around. Either way it seems like many will not accept the results. The left will scream about foreign interference and the right will scream about voter fraud.
Of course social media and the 24 hour news cycle conditions people to overestimate the number of people who actually care about politics and society, at least enough to deign to vote about it and risk jury duty or whatever. A true indicator of societal anxiety will be if there is a big bump in voter turnout. But that might happen anyway because of all the mail-in ballots this time around. I thought for sure 2016 would have a massive turnout but it was down compared to 2008 and basically tied with 2012 in the mid 50% range.

I never did understand why Sessions recused from that investigation. Did someone show up at his door with goat pics?
President Trump has always underpolled and overperformed. He did so during the primaries. He did so again during the general election. He will do so again this time as well.
Monroe, LA just voted out the nineteen year incumbent black mayor for a “law and order” white guy.
Monroe, LA is 65% black.
The incumbent never knew what hit him.
If we're lucky, we will find out in November. If, as I suspect, the pre-planned recounts, lawsuits, and ballot harvesting fire up as soon as the polls close, we might not know for weeks or even longer.
Why would half of the people in the country be a “secret”?
Hmmmmmmm
Between the Partisan Media Shills, the risk of getting railroaded out of jobs and dining experiences, and the lack of productive discussion with clearly irrational jackasses (including members of ones own family), does it really surprise anyone?
That's going to happen regardless of who the announced winner is on election day.
I think TX will be very hard to hold in 2020; it has liberals in the woodwork nearly everywhere in the state.
