OT: American Politics

Wow. Trump ahead in the popular vote in a quality poll?

Biden was +14 with this pollster this time in 2020. Freaky. Need to see if it's replicated elsewhere in the coming weeks.

 

[Aberdeen]

Has Trump ever been 48%? This is madness.

Freaky indeed. This is pretty much the best Trump poll I’ve ever seen. Even when he won in ‘16, his numbers were trash

There’s no way, IMO. Polls are fucked.

I have a bit of a fear that the recent rebellious youth movement for Trump is far more substantial than we give credit for.

Polls might be fucked but so are people’s brains, so one can’t rule anything out

Wait until after the debate.

 

[Aberdeen]

If this polling becomes a trend I might have to put my head in the sand for a couple of months.

Don't overestimate the debate. The dummy loses every debate but it never seems to move the needle. And if Kamala makes a couple of mistakes that's all we'll hear about in the media for two weeks.

Lmao this is his earliest daily update ever. He couldn't help himself.

That’s the thing. Trump’s unfitness for office is incredibly well known, yet he’s still quite popular so there’s NOTHING he can do on debate night that will hurt him.

Kamala has upside. Will she grab it?

IMO, I like her policy talk but it’s far too nuanced and intelligent to resonate with undecideds (who let’s face it, are low information people at this point)

[Aberdeen]

The fact the Trump is doing this without campaigning and so little spending is insane. What a country.

Honestly makes no sense..not that he couldn't be ahead but him being ahead and yet behind in the swing states

I just poked my head out for the first time in a couple weeks, and these polls were mortifying to learn about, haha.

back to the sand for me.
