President Donald Trump may be losing, but that doesn't mean Joe Biden is winning.
At least that's the concern of a pro-Democrat super PAC embracing a new strategy backed by $15 million in online ads to help close the nagging enthusiasm gap between the Republican president and his Democratic challenger. The strategist leading the super PAC known as PACRONYM warns that Biden is leading many polls “by default” and may lose his advantage unless Democrats give key groups of voters better reasons to get excited about their nominee.
“We really think that Biden's enthusiasm gap could be a vulnerability,” said PACRONYM founder and CEO Tara McGowan.
Beginning in August, the group and its sister nonprofit will begin pumping millions of dollars into online ads targeting a group of roughly 1.7 million “low-information” left-leaning voters — largely women of color under 35 — spread across Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona and Georgia who don't know much about Biden and probably wouldn't turn out to vote without a push. The strategy represents a significant shift away from a broader group of “persuadable” voters in swing states who have been the overwhelming focus of more traditional political groups.
Recent polls suggest that much of Biden's support comes from a coalition of voters united far more by their disdain for Trump than their affinity for Biden. There is also agreement between the campaigns that many voters don't know Biden or his plans very well, despite his lifetime in Washington.
Biden's team has largely dismissed the issue, pointing to the intensity with which many voters oppose Trump. But sensing opportunity, Trump's campaign has been flooding swing states with anti-Biden attack ads trying to can scare away would-be Biden supporters or at least persuade them not to vote at all.

-most polls are drawn from about 1,000 people and are hardly representative of who will vote across a state with millions of registered voters.
-the avg Trump supporter is suspicious of any unknown caller (e.g. Is it a doxxing Antifa dweeb?) asking "who ya gonna vote for?" And their hangup means an undersampling of Trump support, especially if your avg woke Dem is all about telling strangers their clever worldview.
-This little thing called the Electoral College means national polls are as helpful as is counting up the total number of goals scored by a team in the Stanley Cup finals to see who will win the series
All that said, election results are a function of turnout and geography. Sure, in PA Trump will win the Red areas. But Philadelphia and her woke hyped up citizenry will turn out in droves (and maybe multiple times...).
In addition to this article's "traditional" ways of whipping up enthusiasm, Dems are using these riots, erm, Biden Rallies and to whip up criminal enthusiasm.
It is not enough to simply hope the polls are BS and Trump folks will come out of the woodwork. If so, we are screwed.
I know! I know!
Riots and looting! That will bridge the enthusiasm gap!
If all the Independents are siding with Biden, which seems to be the way it’s going, of course his enthusiasm is lower on average.
Independents are always being given a choice between two things, neither of which they really like. In this case, the fact that ALL of them plan to vote for Biden means he will win the election handily.
Democrat voters often get stupidity mixed up with enthusiasm.
Then why are they addressing a non issue?
- How many letters in the English alphabet?
- Can you tie your shoes without coaching from your wife?
- What are the three branches of American government?

IOW, PACRONYM is run by and made up of racists.
Also how about this little jab at "B"lack people:
"... roughly 1.7 million “low-information” left-leaning voters — largely women of color under 35"
They don't have much respect for their voters or black people. I meant it may be true but ... I wouldn't talk about my own hoped for constituency with a mild euphemism for 'ignorant.'

You’re a real genius, Tara. Perfect for the Slow Joe campaign.
Obama reflects on Joe Biden:

They’re going to need an actual candidate and not a talking cadaver for that, I’m afraid.
Cause she’s stupid?
Our intrepid leader emerged from his motorcade en route his return to D.C. to this amazing reception from fellow Bedminster locals.

Praying that this is indicative of the true spirit for our man around the country.
You are only #8, but win the Post of the thread.
These clowns keep talking about Biden’s terrific poll numbers. Ummm... no has seen a coherent Biden in years. Some of the Presidential debate qualifiers should be:
- How many letters in the English alphabet?
- Can you tie your shoes without coaching from your wife?
- What are the three branches of American government?”
If Obama were asked these questions he would not give the right answer for one and three. Not sure about two.
Shouldn’t a good poll take enthusiasm in consideration when determining likely voters? Or is this evidence the Democrats think the polls are bogus?
