In reality Trump has never been behind.

He was never behind in 2016

Yeah, 2016 was sad.

Trumpies wanted a train wreck, and they got one.

The country has been in the process of being destroyed for nearly four years now, but we are going to put it right in less than a month.

Independents rarely vote Republican. Only 34% of Independents approve of Trump.
Should we interview Bernie (an independent) and see who he will vote for?



Joe may get the majority of the votes, but they won't count. That's because Joe will clean up in California and New York, but the millions of votes he will get beyond the 50% needed would have to be made up in states that count. Like FL and OH.

He’s not a vile racist. Stop it already! Have you listened to some of Biden’s comments?!

And this brings me to something I’ve noticed: the liberals complaining about Trump is all PERSONAL. The conservatives planning to vote against Biden are doing so for reasons of policy, as I mentioned. We don’t think that we should incentivize illegal immigration by promising them taxpayer benefits (from law-abiding Americans), we don’t think that mayors and governors should side with criminals, we don’t think racist mayors should honor a racist hate group with street names and murals, and we don’t think the court should be packed with Democrats so that there is no balance of powers.

HAHA!
Ok... so you are using polls showing Reagan winning an election by 18 points when he did indeed win the election by 18 points as reason to believe that Biden leading by nearly upwards of 8-9 points means he is going to lose...

That's called "the polls nailing it." Sounds like you agree polls are valid data points when predicting an election. Thanks.

1984 is another example of national polls accurately predicting the winner of the Electoral College. Just like it has 17 of the 19 times since the 50s. Just like 1980, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. As well as 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1972.

When Biden loses, it will be really funny to see all the crying that will happen. People haven't learned a thing when it comes to these polls (he will win the ultra liberal states of course). But hey, whatever strokes your brittle psyche, which i noticed is a driver on this board and across the nation. Too many emotional voters who's feelings are always hurt by the meanie in the white house.

Review the policies proposed by both candidates, and pipe down on the emotion. Biden, who already said won't deport no illegals, will make everything free, will raise taxes on the rich, remove Trumps tax-cuts (which will raise your taxes too), and lock down the country until the scientists tell him to re-open. Please think how these policies help you and your fellow citizens? How will these polices create jobs? Add to the fact that he is buddy buddy with China, who is responsible for killing people all over the world. This is the person you want in the white house? Besides the fact that he is deteriorating right before our eyes and might not even last a full term. Some people need to re-examine their common sense.

I'm an independent who will never vote democrat again. They are a clear and present danger to America. There are people in my left-leaning suburb who are neighbors, independents, who feel the same. This year seeing what democrats are proposing, and how Biden fails to answer questions is enough.

You keep referring to the 2016 polls without realizing that pollsters study what went "wrong" and make sure that they don't repeat the same omissions. For example, in 2016 lower education voters were not accounted for in the polls, that has changed now. Also overall the polls accurately predicted the overall vote margin but missed when it came to state outcomes. The main reasons they missed were not having the correct voters represented in their samples, not having surveys at all in the weeks before the election, or not having surveys after the last minute "October" surprises.

Polling is an expensive endeavor so no pollster wants to be wrong by being far off from the actual results so they are going to do everything possible to make sure that they are close to the actual outcome by constantly tweaking their methodology.

What nonsense — the pollsters want to earn as much money from the huge pot of political money that is sloshing about. They are telling the guys with cash what they want to hear so they can get paid. “Oh yes, our technicals show Mr. Biden pulling ahead by XX points, but we need to keep polling daily to track that growing lead, just sign right here...”

After the election (the money has been spent), no pollster gives a rat’s behind about being wrong. There are a million and one excuses they can use.
