I usually take 2-4 of the usual polls and average them out. Repukes only look at Rasmussen. Probably has Trump polling about 70% right now.

3. His cult will go down to about a third in my opinion...Then it will stay there.

It will take some time...maybe less. Nixon, at the end was 27 percent. Trump will get there, more to come.

And when they go bankrupt or get really sick I will say, "Told you so. Tough shit...WE TOLD YOU SO!". I will have no pity for them. You reap what you sow. Too bad the rest of us will get sick and go bankrupt due to their stupidity and purposeful ignorance, hate and hypocrisy.

7. I doubt they are using good numbers.

By numbers I mean the ratio to determine how many when looking at the whole group are likely Republican, Democrat, and other. I think it is outdated. I believe the Republican group is lower than it was 8 or 12 years ago.

Trump will too. I wager by summer, he's in the 30s.

12. Well, I don't believe anything

nor do I believe in anything. What I don't trust are the polls, that's not belief, that's a matter of confidence and trust.

I am very skeptical in many polls because they rarely disclose their sample sizes and most of all, the actual questions used to glean the results they offer. I think we're getting bad data.

belief has nothing to do with it.

10. There is only one thing that will cause Trump's cult to abandon him, nothing else matters to them

They will stick with him through a collapsed economy and a mishandled deadly pandemic, but if they begin to think he's softening up on his hardcore racism he will lose them

14. I really hate to admit it, but I think you are correct.

It really does appear to me that open racism is the strongest tie that binds Individual-1 supporters together.
