This is really BAD news for IMPOTUS!


?s=21

All of these are exceptionally good numbers for Biden. All above 50%, which means very few undecideds. And very little ability for dotard to even catch Biden, let alone pass him. Even the seniors which is a very dependable voting block for the gop...nope!

And the AA community...to the rescue..thank you

Jill Stein who was at the table with Putin and the Russian power mongers and the American traitor General Michael Flynn in 2016 racked up a lot of votes 4 years ago on the left in the drive to keep our Democratic candidate out of office.

Too bad it has taken 4 years of the Trump/Puttin wrecking ball to. to keep a third party spoiler out of the race.

her supporters would have stayed home on Election Day. Supporters of fringe candidates are like that - no candidate, no voting. It was similar with Nader in 2000, according to exit polls I remember reading at the time. His supporters were a mix of Libertarians and disaffected Dems who wouldn't have been motivated to vote at all if he hadn't been running. So I believe we have to look beyond the Green Party to account for the losses of Clinton and Gore.

Bernie and Jill hurt Hillary. If Bernie hadn't waited till October to seriously campaign for her, and if Jill Stein wasn't trolling for votes, the outcome could have been different.

Hillary was more liberal than any President had ever been, and her platform was a consensus platform approved by Bernie, but you'd never know it to listen to some of Stein's idiot campaign team members.

Mon Sep 14, 2020, 01:24 AM
Sep 2020

1) Cubans vote against Dems because of Kennedy's bay of pigs
2) Pendejo45 seems to collect non-college educated voters in droves and there are a lot of non-college educated Hispanics.
3) A lot of Hispanics are Catholics and they vote on abortion.
When I used to call voters in previous elections, I'd get the Hispanic voters because I speak Spanish. Almost all would say they voted based on abortion.
I had to convince them that abortion is a religious issue not a political issue. Then I'd get into the political issues and some would start to understand what was really happening.

Are black suburban women only counted as black or ore the counted as black and suburban and women. Same with Hispanic voters.

If people are only single counted and white women favor Biden by 15% along with the other large margins for Biden and white men with a college degree are evenly divided then the non-college educated white male would have to favor Trump something like 75-25 in order for the race to be tight. I suspect that they are counting people in every category that the qualify for and that would be highly misleading. But then this is Fox News too.

Some count them in every category that applies, some count them in one, most applicable category.
When there are silos like race, gender, rural vs. urban vs. suburban, educational level, & the like it's awfully hard to fit one person into one silo.
So, in this case, they're comparing characteristics. They probably put each person into all applicable silos.

You have to know the methodology in order to properly analyze the results.

If you drop a person in each silo then the result is highly distorted because many people would be dropped in but 1 silo while others are dropped in 5 silo's. To me they would need to slice up the "many silo's" person. One silo, one vote - 4 silo's 1/4 vote in each silo. But that causes a different type of distortion, I would think. But maybe not.

This type of analysis isn't meant to provide a generalized view.
We should only be looking at each line, stand alone.
You're correct that any attempt to aggregate the data would not result in a wholly valid result.
We have to more subjectively view it as 9 or 10 line items, all but one of which, favor Biden.
But, to do an quantitative view overall would take a completely different approach.
Which of course, is done by simply asking the question, "Who are you going to vote for?"
These type of analyses seem more an attempt to explain the 8-10 point lead Biden enjoys rather than predict an outcome.

It literally blows me away why seniors vote Republican. The Democratic platform is SO much better than the Republican one for pretty much everybody, including seniors.

The gazillion $ that Bloomberg is investing in the Florida race is important in aiming directly at Hispanic voters and carpet bombing the state with messaging. But in the end, it's getting our voters to the polls in massive numbers. If the strategy works and Joe Biden sweeps Florida, the national race/electoral college is won because there is no path for Trump without Florida, not with the numbers coming out of the Midwest all favoring Joe Biden. The demographics are on our side because the demographics are who we are as a country.

And who we are as a country, a people, is what this election is all about. United we are strong, unbeatable. We need to remember that. We need to make it an indisputable fact on November 3rd.

Btw, those 50+ percentiles are . . . absolutely beautiful.

Certainly more logical than most crosstabs. Hopefully Biden can break 60% with Hispanics

...for being so progressive.

To hear them talk, they "achieved" Civil Rights, ended the War in Vietnam, provided justice and equality for all...etc...etc...

As a class, the reality is, that my demographic voted in two Bushes, Reagan, and a Trump.

The GOP has historically won the Senior vote but Trump walloped Hillary in 2016.
