Should not be even close, Trump should be running like he is 20 points down, he is not...He will screw around and get beat.

Attached link shows the polls immediately before the 2016 election between Trump and Clinton. Per the polls it would be a wipe out of Trump and we would have had President Hillary.

With rare exceptions the pollsters insert their own political bias into the polls. They are mostly crap. Campaigns pay big bucks for private pollsters to tell them the truth. The public never sees these polls.

What is the problem. Poll is showing a 4 point drop for Harris. This is good news.

The Democrats were asleep in 2016. They were prepared by 2020 and 2022, and will doubtless have an even better fraud machine this election.

Trump needs to stop bashing people like Kemp. We need to win Georgia. Trump can be such an idiot at times.

The honeymoon is coming to a close. Clinton and Biden were up around 8% at this time.

Basically what is going on is that people are voting for Harris because “The media told them to” they have absolutely NO idea what her agenda is, what her policy is, they know NOTHING except “The media told them to vote for her” its one thing if she said what her agenda is and they support it, fine, but having no clue what her agenda is for this country and saying “Like, the media told me to vote for her so Im like doing it” is RIDICULOUS

Rasmussen and only one other poll show this. All others, show the opposite. The campaign needs to listen to VDH and his recent recommendations.

I do NOT hear President Trump saying we should vote early - he is saying there’s two kinds of voters:

1) People (like me) who are 100% sure to vote. Nothing could stop us from voting. He is saying we should vote in person on Election Day.

2) People who can’t be counted on to vote on Election Day - something comes up - the car breaks down - they can’t get off work - the lines are too long and they don’t want to wait - they hear the fake news and think their state is already a sure win or a sure loss, so their vote won’t make a difference - or they just forget to vote. Believe it or not there are lots people like this. He is saying these people should vote early while its on their mind - it’s not ideal but it’s better than waiting until Election Day and then failing to vote.

That’s what I hear Trump saying at his rallies.

I don’t like voting early for a number of reasons:

1) It feels like I’d be using up all my ammo before the real battle even begins
2) It gives them a heads-up of how many fake ballots they have to come up with to steal it.
3) It means for a month my early ballot is sitting in a box somewhere waiting to be counted - doesn’t that just give the cheaters more time and opportunity to alter it or destroy it or dump it somewhere?

Harris did get a bump when she was in the headlines and nobody knew how bad Walz was. The non-commie press is now doing an class A evisceration of him and it’s not pretty. That may be why the her poll numbers are dropping.

The most reliable polls show a slight 1 or 2 point bump for Harris as compared to Biden. Those that show Harris up by 5+ points can be ignored. Response bias is skewing their results.

And people need to keep in mind that the consensus among most pollsters is that a Democratic candidate needs at least a 4% lead in the national popular vote to have a decent chance of winning the electoral vote. A tie for the national vote or even a 1-2 point lead equates to a likely Trump electoral victory.

Of course the wildcard, as always, is election fraud. But what matters most is Trump’s lead in the battleground states, not the national popular vote.

Yes, the successful billionaire and best president we've had needs your brilliant advice, STAT.

Please write him about everything he's doing wrong.

Relax. This is all fiction. These "pollsters" are not trying to convince you to believe the delusion that Harris has caught up to and even surpassed Trump ... No! ... They're trying to convince themselves that this is happening and will be maintained. That's all this is, understanding that Democrat/Communists excel at delusional thinking (e.g., the "trans movement"; "global warming as an existential threat"; Trump is a nazi, and on and on and on).

These polls are going to put me in a looney bin pretty soon. Up down all around.

**********************

They shouldn’t, just ignore the polls, and realize that the 45th President will become the 47th President after November 5th.

After Harris gets the nomination she’ll drop like a rock in the polls......this election is over.

Polls like these are useless.

States are what matters.
