Cook Political Report shifts Michigan, Nevada toward GOP amid Biden’s weak polling
https://thehill.com/ ^ | Dec 21, 2024

The Cook Political Report (CPR) has shifted Michigan and Nevada toward the GOP amid President Biden’s weak polling numbers just under a year before the 2024 election.

A new report from the nonpartisan election handicapper notes Biden’s approval rating is at just 39 percent according to the latest FiveThirtyEight polling averages, arguing those “unimpressive” figures make it “hard to justify keeping two battleground states — Nevada and Michigan — in the Lean Democrat column.”

Biden won a majority in both states back in 2020, but the president “isn’t performing any better either in job approval or in head-to-head matchups with Trump in those states than in the other battleground contests,” writes CPR’s Editor-in-Chief Amy Walter.

Nevada and Michigan now shift to join Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as “toss up” states for next year’s presidential race...

Trump won all those states in 2020.

Jeeze.

Does anyone still think that Mister Biden will be running in Nov?

Hey GOPers! Let's plan for a bait and switch contingency!

20 years ago all the pollsters used to focus on Florida and Ohio. Trump has moved them securely into the red column.

“Let’s plan for a bait and switch contingency!”

The GOP has war-gamed every possible scenario and has all the defensive strategies and responses planned out in every detail. Just like they have figured out how to counter rampant Dem cheating all over the land.

Ha ha ha ha ha....

We still have to overcome election fraud. You know they will do it.

Perhaps I’m way off base for thinking *perhaps* the cheating/stealing the presidential election won’t be so intense this time, Xiden who is nothing more than a brain stem that could croak at any moment isn’t going to draw the corrupt low-life criminals he drew in 2020. These crooks know that eyes will be all over them and risking getting caught for this imbecile just isn’t worth it making it more difficult for the higher-up crooks. Add in Trump’s commanding lead does increase the difficulty for the criminals.

They know they have to print more ballots in Dearborn because the Muslims are boycotting the election.

I disagree. They'll cheat. So what? They have the support of the Deep State.

Look at Russia. Putin wins in the election where he gets to face candidates from opposing parties.

We're not that much different now.

Unlike Biden, Putin actually has popular support.

Michael is the only chance for Barack’s fourth and possibly
fifth term(s).

I’m still saying that’s where my thoughts are.

“Trump won all those states in 2020.”

I believe that, plus VA, NH, and MN.

Biden’s trailing badly in Arizona and Georgia too. It will be impossible to repeat the steal in each of these states unless he can pull a lot closer to Trump than he is now.

Contrary to the claims of the eternal pessimists, there is a limit to how many votes you can steal before it becomes so obvious as to be undeniable. 1%? Sure. 2%? Maybe. 7 or 8% No way.

Election integrity is dead.

Trump got more legal votes than Biden in 2020.

These polls/surveys are nice but not definitive.

15% of the counted votes for all candidates (81 million + 74 million = 155 million), or 22 million, counted for Biden, either did not exist, or were switched from Trump to Biden.

So, Trump won roughly 74 million to 59 million, out of 133 million cast votes, 55.6% to 44.4%. Vs. the counted votes of 81 million of 155 million, 52.26% to 47.74%, a swing of 15% nationwide, more than that in the contested states. So not 7% or 8%, but 7% plus 8% = 15%.

Trump is leading in 2024 polls because pollsters can’t call a cemetery to get their votes, or disconnected phones from people who moved to another state, or opinions of counted votes that have no body, living or dead, to answer the phone that doesn’t exist, to say that the non-existent plan to vote Biden in 2024. So of course Trump is leading in the polls.

My election day prediction: at least 6 or 7 states will have “technical difficulties” before midnight, that will be “resolved” by 6:00am the next day, at which time 47,000,000 additional votes for BiDuhn will be found.
