One eye popping number, which suggest voter turnout in 2020 cld be highest in a century.




Full 81% of voter are either extremely or very focused on the election. Previous two cycles it was ~60%


Much more data on the thread at the link. If this is real and it holds the GOP is in a whole world of pain... 👀

The bigger the turnout the better. While that historically leads to better results for Democratic candidates, more people paying attention and voting is always desirable.

The only way we can win is overwhelmingly because the Russians and Israelis are out trying to steal/influence the electorate to vote for drumpf or stay home. We have to far exceed the norm to have even a chance in hell, and even then it's still not in the bag.

This cannot be close because you know that even if he loses by a ridiculous margin you know he’ll still whine and squeal that it was rigged or the results were flipped or whatever. He would have to be dragged away on moving day.

I cling to the feeling that daily he is losing non core supporters, and some of the polling, even on Faux News, seems to confirm that happening.
