New, Highly Credible Polls Offer Bad News For Trump

[Dr. Jack]

High quality polls are making the rounds again, finally. Now we aren't stuck with Rasmussen and Trafalgar we are getting a much clearer picture of where the race is. There have been a few political experts speculating that the bottom is falling out of Trump's support. There seems to be growing evidence that is indeed the case and that Trump is hemorrhaging support in key areas of the country

1. Yes please!

[Blue Owl]

2. Just do us all a favor, Donny

End it all now.

3. the key is, trump and GOP are not expanding their voting base, they thought the fear factor

would work and polling of Wisconsin after Kenosha violence, Biden expanded his lead. The only tactic left is to prevent people from voting and prevent votes from being counted and we can be in the middle of this by being poll workers and election judges

[Dr. Jack]

4. And the judiciary is getting very annoyed by the constant Trump lawsuits

And fuckery at the post office. They can't even cheat properly. Stupid fucks

19. We are so damn lucky these criminals (Shitler included) are as inept as they are.

5. I don't think they reacted that way because they thought it was campaign strategy

He doesn't feel the protestors are his supporters so he uses damaging rhetoric against them. Oregon isn't going to vote for Trump so he was free to do whatever he wanted in Portland. The Whitmer protestors are his supporters so he treated them much differently.

11. He's never tried to expand his base

He got lucky and thought he had a mandate.

[beachbumbob]

12. trumps thinks his base the only one that gets to play, we will show he once more

how wrong his thinking is

6. Even with the crappy polls and the slight "tightening", still looking good for Joe.

Best news today:
538’s model has increased Joe’s odds of winning to 77, with Trump at a measly 23%.

7. This, also from NY Mag., is a little more concerning:

8. Its OVER Folks!!!!

Rasmussen just gave Trump a 53-46 approval rating. So every poll moving in Biden's direction so Rasmussen comes to rescue with their highest approval in the last year

(BTW I'm kiddin'. We are going to stomp Trump's ass)

9. Ras is doing his best.

Once we get a little closer to the date, he'll rein it back in so as not to be too far off from measurable reality. But for now, he's just trying to drive perceptions. (Am I being too conspiracy-minded by believing this?)

[SergeStorms]

20. No, you aren't.

Who wants to consult a poll that has a widening horse race? If you want to draw attention to yourself with less than 7 weeks remaining before election day, you tell everyone it's going to be a nail biter.

That said, am I being too conspiracy minded by believing this?

14. Doesn't account for systematic disenfranchisement (and they've gotten VERY good at it) nt

[Auggie]

16. "It ain't over till it's over" -- Yogi Berra

Poll results aren't votes

[pat_k]

13. Beware overconfidence. Polls don't account for systematic disenfranchisement. (nt)

[burrowowl]

15. We need to dump trump and the GOP senate too

[ooky]

17. Hope someone is watching the nukes. nt

[ffr]

18. Impeached tRump is hemorrhaging

Sounds painful.

[MRDAWG]

21. We heard this in 2016 until...........

October surprise by Comey. Where will it come from this year? Polls don't count voter suppression.
