Some perspective from someone who actually lives in one of the swing states-- if not, THE swing state.Sorry about GM's Cruze plant. If GM would design & build better vehicles (like Toyota), that plant would still be open.
Ohio was one of only two states that, prior to COVID, had a net job LOSS over the course of Trump's time in office so far. We have steadily been bleeding manufacturing jobs-- including the loss of a couple of major plants, one of which Trump brushed off as "Not even a big deal". Except... to those who live here, its a very big deal.
Ohioans switch back and forth-- and one thing that never goes over well is when a President makes promises to curry the favor of the manufacturing rust state votes-- and then doesn't deliver. And right now-- that's where we sit. Many states can blame it all on COVID-- but Ohio was in trouble before the pandemic.
Now, you may sit back and say-- but Ohio is just one state. And you'd be correct-- but Ohio has been the swing state with the most statistical accuracy when it comes to predicting the winner. The last time Ohio got it wrong-- was Kennedy. Originally Posted by Grace Preston

Of course they forgot about that. It doesn't fit their narrative. Originally Posted by tri1968I'd like to know the source for that number. Not buying it from foxy news.
Oh the misogyny! Oh the racism"I’m sorry, sir. What book are you talking about? You don’t know my views on anything, because I haven’t expressed any beyond my disapproval of the tenor of Trump’s presidency, his divisive campaign and the stain it’s left on the fabric of our society.
In your book, anyone that disagrees with you is racist. Originally Posted by tri1968

He either needs Biden to do something majorly wrong or for Trump himself to do something majorly right to turn it around. The ball continues to roll downhill for Trump. His continuing quest to get Obamacare repealed with no replacement at all, which could negatively impact 23 million people, is his latest faux pas. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

So it always makes me wonder - how is the question put forth to an individual. I mean like - - Do you believe that Biden would make a lot of progress in the next 4 years compared to the lack of progress that Trump made during his 4 years in office. That was just an example of how you can tilt questions to push a person toward an answer that is desired.The polls do give the exact questions asked. In the following link, click on the pollster (e.g. click on "Morning Consult") and the questions asked will appear in most cases. You will see that, although questions can certianly be misleading, they are usually not. The majority of polling companies are legitimate and conduct their surveys with integrity.
At this point, I'm still going with Trump. I think when Biden comes out with his agenda that alot of folks are going to say "whoa,wait a minute. This sounds like a socialist agenda" or something to that effect. And not vote for him. They will just stay home and not go to the voting booth. The lack of enthusiam for Biden should be ringing some alarm bells in the Democratic party. Trump has enthusiam big time and his supporters will show up to vote no matter what. I don't see the same for Biden.
I can't wait for the debates. That is going to be very,very interesting. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen

Yes, Trump has very enthusiastic voters but he has increased enthusiasm among Democrats too. The 2018 midterm turnout was the highest since 1914 and you can thank Trump for that in my opinion. People swarmed the polls to vote against Trump, even though he wasn't on the ballot. I predict the same in 2020. People who don't like Trump, whether it be for his lack of character or his failed policies, will hit the polls hard on election day.
Yes the debates will be interesting. People like you will be waiting for a Biden gaffe. Meanwhile, Trump will have to defend many of his failures while in office and also defend his many mis-statements. I'm being kind by not calling them "lies". Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

For me personally, it matters little who wins in 2020 since the policies of neither will likely impact me on a daily basis.
For ellen to spout off how well the cheeto does in the polls and when the wind turns to imply they rig the questions....
