All polls and most analysis point to what could be a razor thin margin. I am convinced Trump has the edge but eternal vigilance at the polls is a must due to Dim cheating.

If Biden’s only problem was his age, Harris is an obvious solution. She is also a more effective communicator than Biden at this juncture, someone capable of driving a message,.....

*****

Message....what message? Rainbows and unicorns??

what message? “I’m not Biden.” Answer,”yes you are.” I don’t know why Trump doesn’t use “Harris-Biden “administration exclusively, especially as Biden has been caught on video a few times calling her “president Harris.” Go with it. Fact somebody else was in charge. Since Harris s a very plausible culprit, wrap it around her neck.

I think he should debate, but this time on his terms since the last two were on Biden and Harris’ terms. I doubt she’d do it.

That right there shows what a screwed-up article this one is. She only has a word salad message.

My yard sign poll gives Harris the edge here in deep red Greene County Ohio.
5:1 in my neighborhood. :(

C~SPAN who won poll Trump got 145,000 or 75% of 193,000 votes so is the neck and neck?

It isn’t even close. Photo finish, my arse. They are still going to cheat so it has to be made to look close.

A brand-new debate broke out about whether there should be a second one.

BS there was no first debate it was a rigged ambush like everything when dealing with the democrat party.

People just don’t seem to understand polling.

You sample lots of people. Don’t dwell on what sort of phone line or what online method. That’s a separate issue. Just accept it’s many many people.

Then that pollster has an array of requirements. There should be X women and Y men. They may pick this from 2020. They may pick it from the Census. Same for blacks vs hispanics vs whites. This data can be from the 2020 election or from Census or whatever source. Dems/Reps/Independents will also have a ratio that they insist the sample meets.

So when they have their many many phone calls and get the desired number of men and whites and Reps, and the next call they look at is a white man they toss that sample aside. They already had enough of that category.

So when their samples conform to this turnout model of requirements, only then do they start counting up Harris / Trump choices by their samples.

Note what this means. Any change to the turnout model is going to change the results, even if no one in the entire electorate changed their minds. This is why polls get different results. This is why polls showed Harris getting more support than Biden.

Turnout models increased the women part of the ratio. Initially, they presumed she would generate more black votes.

So they changed their models of turnout. Added up the result and quote “a Harris surge”.

Bottom line. No one knows whose turnout model will be correct. The one thing you CAN learn is when a turnout model is held constant, then any change to result from that pollster would be measuring an actual, real change of attitude.

And since cheating doesn’t affect polling turnout models, it need not be mentioned when discussing polling. It’s irrelevant.

The media and pollsters want to make it look like it is a neck and neck race.
The media gets views.
Websites get hits.
Pollsters get paid.

In 2016, Hillary was running away with the race and Trump didn’t stand a chance.

The only unknown variable is how many fraudulent votes Harris gets. We will see in November.

I’m convinced that’s his strategy.

After a week or so of her calling him a coward he’ll then agree to another debate…but only on his terms.

Then she’ll be forced to be the “coward.”

For God’s sake, stop. There is ZERO EVIDENCE how anyone looks during any arguments about debating has ANY impact on vote totals.

It’s not about who looks like a coward. It’s about vote totals.

Debates are done. You want to be entertained? Be entertained by the victory party after the election.

And, polls have, for decades, underestimated support for the Republican candidate.

Reagan and Carter were nearly even the the final polls.

Trump is doing much better in the polls now than he did against Hillary.

There were already three debates. Harris didn’t show up for two of them.

Let’s just say for sake of just shooting the breeze, if they are indeed neck to neck then I can tell you that she has the upper hand. The machine will do whatever it takes to drag her cackling winkled hyena neck across the Potomac river all the way to the White House. The more we see the total fiasco with this election cycle the more I am convinced the bastards have something else under their sleeves. And we’re not even in October yet! These abomination POS bastards will stop at nothing. So hold on tight for the next load of crap to hit the fan.

NO MORE DEBATES MR. PRESIDENT….screw them!! Will take our chances! Just let her screw up with her interview conferences. She wants desperately a debate so that she can use that as a crutch for not doing further interviews all the way to November! Don’t give her the pleasure or an out! She literally sucks and is a disaster in interviews.
