From the article:

The Democrats’ strong lead in Arizona, a historically Republican state, is owed to a 30-point advantage among Hispanic voters and a break-even performance with whites. And both Mr. Biden and the Democratic Senate candidate, Mark Kelly, are leading with voters over 65, a crucial group in a state rich with retirees.

senate will go to 50-50, with VP being the deciding vote. Either way, there won’t be much legislation going through, but a lot of judges.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-six percent (46%) disapprove. The last time the president’s job approval reached a high of this number was in September 2019.

The latest figures include 44% who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of +4. (see trends)

Hmm biden winning not bloody likely

Pollsters = Hucksters!

Political scientist, Lindsay Rogers, coined the word pollster as a pejorative takeoff of the word huckster.

The news media and the government have created a charade that serves their own interests but misleads the public 24/7.

The Senate is going to be a bloodbath.

And the Senate GOP deserves what they are going to get.

Yes, the two-party system stinks. If you punish those who deserve punishment, the result can be worse (as we are about to see).

But the GOP Senators failed the nation at a critical time, and they have to go as a result.

I don't think this poll is very good.
No state that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 has posed a bigger challenge for Donald J. Trump than North Carolina. He has trailed in every survey there since the first presidential debate, and he does not have a credible path to the presidency without its 15 electoral votes.

A New York Times Upshot/Siena College survey released on Tuesday confirms that Mr. Trump’s standing has deteriorated considerably. Hillary Clinton has a seven-point lead over Mr. Trump in North Carolina, 46 percent to 39 percent, among likely voters in a three-way race including the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

That poll was taken October 20-23 in 2016. They may have corrected their flaws since the last election, but as of now there's no reason to regard it as credible.

From the article:

Joseph Seoane, 67, of Glendale, Ariz., is among the seniors in the state who plan to vote for Mr. Biden. A political independent who supported Mr. Trump in 2016, Mr. Seoane said he was still “not against” the president but believed it had become clear that Mr. Trump “can’t handle” the job.

Mr. Seoane said he had become particularly unsettled by Mr. Trump’s handling of the coronavirus. He said he understood the president’s impulse to “play down” the disease, but he was concerned that the government was ignoring science. “There are certain things we can’t play down,” he said. “And now we have all these victims.”

If Trump wins, the GOP will retain its Senate majority. I can’t think of a state in which Trump won a bigger majority in 2016 than its GOP senator who was on the ballot that year.

More of the same from the media. Democrats lead everywhere in every contested race in the country from coast to coast. Either these polls are cooked or America is cooked. Which is it?

That is a possibility. But there are some strange indicators in the polls, such as that AZ is to the left of PA. Is that possible?

The problem is it would be a majority that depends on Romney and Murkowski.
