Why is “if” in the title? It makes no sense, but theses are modern day “journalists.”

“40 percent of pollsters”

I see an illiterate person wrote this article.

Article has no link to the “poll” much less the demographics of the “poll.”

So, junk. But it did have this little nugget...

.

Trump continues to dominate in polls against his Republican opponents. According to a FiveThirtyEight survey, the 45th president has 53.3 percent support, while DeSantis sits at 14.3 percent.

.

Just a FYI, the above quote DOES have a link to the survey.

It was also the second to last paragraph.

Hillary, oh that was 2016. In 2020 Trump trounced Biden. DeSantis will never become president. Trump takes Biden for a second time in 2024.

Go back to counting bens.

Virginia Commonwealth University poll

Get serious. 🤣

That university is in Richmond, VA.That area of VA from there north east and southeast to Norfolk has become as liberal as California.

Run the same poll 50 miles west of there and you would get a resounding majority for Trump.

Trump takes Biden for a second time in 2024.

But does he go to the White House or return being president of Mar-A-Lago?

Rob won’t cross the finish line in the winning position, so it doesn’t matter.

Did they factor in their calculations that DeSantis is a globalist who might be allowed to win and Trump is a Nationalist who will not be allowed to win?

Trump didn’t win Virginia either time. So the poll probably is accurate.

In your dream world that’s how it works. Could be the same in any state but we must deal with reality.

From less than a week ago, you Republican establishment boot licker:

https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2023/07/31/poll-trump-leads-joe-biden-three-points-nationwide-six-points-swing-states/

Among those polled nationwide, 42 percent supported Donald Trump while just 39 percent supported Joe Biden. In swing states, Trump’s lead doubled to six points: 44 percent to Biden’s 38 percent. Support for an independent or third-party candidate stands at just nine percent.

I hate to break it to you but my post is accurate.

VA west of Richmond is conservative. Very conservative.

It has become close since so many DC leeches have settled in Northern VA and the state could go either way.

But you missed my point which was that the poll is worthless because it did not cover the entire state. A poll taken in the valley, for instance, would have had the opposite rtesult and would also have been worthless for the same reason.

Honestly you are right that trump does well in some areas of Virginia but not enough to win the state.

I forgot to mention that there is only one poll that counts, and it was not truthful in 2020.

Think you could guess which one?

Thank you for that.

Remember though that this time around by the time we vote there will be more crime discovered in DC, so much that some dims will kick over.

There is no way to tell at this time whether there will be enough to make a difference.

I do not live in VA but I do spend a lot of time in the state and have for the last 75 years, I have hopes for them.

In reality, Trump is running against the Obozo and the deep state, Jobama is just their up front patsy.
