Re: Election Day Thread - Nov. 3, 2020
 

[quote=SunnySide;1263886]Once in a blue moon, you see a poll that makes you blink twice to make sure you’re not seeing things. This morning’s ABC News/The Washington Post survey of [B]Wisconsin was just such a poll. It showed Joe Biden 17 points (not a typo) ahead of President Trump, 57 percent to 40 percent, among likely voters.[/B] To put it mildly, this is a stunning margin in what is supposed to be one of the most competitive swing states in the country — a place that Trump carried by less than 1 percentage point in 2016.

RABA Research was out with a poll yesterday [B]showing Biden at 50 percent and Trump at 46 percent in Iowa[/B]. Last week, the A+ pollsters Monmouth University and Siena College/The New York Times Upshot found similar margins. [B]Iowa, remember, is a fairly red state that Trump carried by 9 points in 2016[/B]. And for the first time, our forecast now gives Biden a better chance than Trump of winning the state, although it’s still basically a coin flip (Biden’s odds are 51 in 100).

Yesterday, Gravis Marketing released a survey of [B]Minnesota in which Biden led Trump by 14 points. Biden’s chances of winning Minnesota have now reached an all-time high of 94 in 100.
[/B]
On Sunday, we also got a Gravis poll of [B]Michigan that gave Biden a 13-point lead[/B]. That’s on top of last week’s Fox News poll of Michigan showing Biden 12 points ahead. And this morning, ABC News/Washington Post also released a Michigan poll giving Biden a smaller 7-point lead. [B]Overall, our forecast gives Biden a 94 in 100 chance of winning the Wolverine State.[/B]

Wisconsin - Biden
Michigan - Biden
Minnesota - Biden

Iowa - toss up leaning Biden[/quote]

Stop it Sunny, really don't want to get my hopes up. Better to be prepared for disappointment because anything less than a blowout and Trump will be litigating all the way to a stacked Supreme Court.

Imagine what a blowout it would be if the GOP actually made it easy for everyone to vote, instead of fighting it. God forbid everyone has a say....

Really it will all come down to COVID! As really had the President urged on those over in the having to deal with it by having social distancing and wearing masks. Really he could lose over on this.

I think Trump will win. I think Sunny posted an article about of the 9 million voters in PA about half have requested mail in and only half have been received. There are going to be too many people who go aw f it and not mail it in. Any time voter turn out is low it favors Republicans IMO. They are the more consistent voting block.

I'd like to see an update to it. Not a state winner take all but more akin to what Nebraska and Maine have been doing. A presidential election should matter to all voters and not just the whims of a few swing states.

Most of America feels that way about trump and he already is a puppet.

That would be against their best interest.

Nahhh, you guys are the real diehards. I have a 45yo coworker voting this year because his mom is pressuring him to. He's never voted before (and probably never will again after this election) simply because he doesn't think it will change anything for the better. And there is a lot more people out there that think along those lines too.

To let Republicans have a shot at the presidency, absolutely. Because if it was straight up majority vote it'd be a long time before we saw a Republican president again.

If he wins you will see the mob take to the streets. They already did it on K street in DC in 2016. This time will be much worse. You will see violence in a lot of the liberal cities.

Agree. I think a higher % of everyone to the right of Democrats vote higher by %.

Democrats don't win by % of party voters who exercise their right to vote, it's a sheer volume game. 51% of 200 is more than 100% of 100.

Hence why anything that decreases the number of total votes, the democratic party (the leadership, not every individual voter) fights tooth and nail against. Like such things as requiring an ID to vote (throw out 2020, this is about all the previous elections in my lifetime).

Tucker Carlson came to me in a dream and told me so, with Trump floating behind him on a cloud, while playing an actual Trumpet.
