Well that’s the thing with polls. They are a snapshot in time.
So you’re right. Next week it will be forgotten.
Now I was reading about something called the “Sympathy” vote.
For when a politician gets ill or his family faces some kind of tragedy.
Thank God this is not a tragedy because he will be fine but he may still get some “sympathy” vote and they say it lasts for about 4 weeks.
That’s all we need :)
President Trump is trending up. He will get a bump this week.
Yes, I think he will get a “sympathy” and even “admiration” boost for being strong and triumphant over covid.
But, I think his bigger boost is going to come from the significant number of voters who will no longer cooperate with pollsters, either by not answering their phones or by not being willing to disclose who they are going to vote for. Response rates for polls have plummeted. Trafalgar polls lately have had 1-2% response rates.
Unless the 99% of the voters they tried and failed to contact intend to vote the same way the 1% of responders do the polls are worthless.
And, all pollsters agree it is Trump supporters (Republican, Democrat and Independent) that are the most likely to refuse to disclose who they are voting for.
That’s what happens when the media/pollsters spend 4 years insulting those people...:-)
