The polls aren't looking very good for Trump-- or are they?

In Vermont, I’m seeing more Trump signs, flags, and bumper stickers than Biden signs and bumper stickers. In ‘16 I saw almost no Trump anything and very few Hillary signs.

Vermont is the most liberal state in the union. I believe he will surpass the percentage (31%) and the number (95,369) of votes he received in ‘16. These are good omens.

The Democrat media is trying to convince you it is hopeless. In fact, Dementia Joe is hopeless and has already reached his high water mark.

Biden also needs to fear the menace of events. The release of the Durham report and a round of indictments will help put the misconduct of the Obama administration on display. Covid therapeutics and vaccines and employment and economic recovery will progress rapidly in the coming months. And debates with Trump will for Biden prove to be like trying to tap dance through a minefield.

Vermont is the most liberal state in the union.

I'd argue that. Both the people's republic of Maryland and Californistan (and maybe Taxachusetts) are more liberal than Vermont.

I would like to know why so many people put faith in the Real Clear Politics, Poll of Polls. If a couple of polls are heavily skewed by over-polling Democrats, then the average is skewed. If more than half of the polls over-poll Democrats, then the concept of an average is useless.

Polls are done primarily to shape public opinion.

Even latinos I talk to here in Southern California seem to believe he'll win.

Like I am going to tell some random caller claiming to do a poll that I am voting Trump so they know which house to burn down. Wait, I hang up on random callers before they can tell me their business.

Polls are designed and intended to Shape opinion, not reflect it.

I can tell you in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, there are Trump signs everywhere. There also tons of American flags. I would say many of them are also Trumo supporters who don’t want to be vandalized. I have seen one Biden sign.

And I’ll guarantee there are more “Shy Trump Voters” than last time.

Oh, I usually tell the truth about how I’ll vote.......

I just mess with their demographics. I’m usually a black female government employee, making in excess of 100k a year. And a die hard Trump supporter.

We’re a small demographic, but we have a very powerful lobby.

I’m hearing from those who despised President Trump leading up to the 2016 election. I got to see Trump Pinatas right across the street from my residence.

Some eyes have been opened.

Don’t forget how many dangerous convicts are being released by Democrats in blue states, counties and cities. You all, at least in CA, had better put new dead-bolts on both you front and back doors. (especially your back doors (if you know what I mean))

“Damn right. In 1980, the media told us Reagan and Carter was “too close to call” on Election Day.”

I remember that- -I was SO dispirited!

I also vividly recall watching John Chancellor (also dispiritedly) telling me at 7:30 local time that Ronald Reagan was going to win the election by a “substantial margin.”

(Another fond memory from 1980-the unbeatable Soviet hockey team was going to cruise to the Olympic gold medal.)
