Now when does actual voting start?
So Trump got ahead of himself when he seemed to sing the praises of certain polls not so long ago?
Maybe he should not have done that then if actual voting is somewhat in the future?
In a long, long, time.
The election, in case anyone is interested, is in 453 days. The Republican National Convention starts in 340 days. The polls open in New Hampshire in 180 days for primary voting.
Many, many things will happen between now and then. The idea that a candidate is "leading", "gaining", or "fading" at the present time is a farce.
