Independent voters? Another word for these people are "low information voters." I mean, really, who at this point is really independent? Everyone puts so much value in these voters, as if their opinions are divine, but they're the ones most likely to not even bother showing up on Election Day.
We do know this though. Trump has never led his Democrat challenger in aggregate polling until now. Not in 2016 and not in 2020 so there's that.
The FNC poll had Traitor Joe up 52-48 among rural voters. That is preposterous. That alone told me it was a badly cooked poll.
