If The Democratic Socialistic Party don't want foreigners involved in our elections, why do they think it's all right for illegal's to vote
Cool, now do that for Trump with dictator quotes.

When you are pointing out precedent, to give context to the surge in poll results that EXACTLY mirrors the surge in poll results for the Democrat candidate at EXACTLY this time in the leadup to the previous election, you aren't saying "but Hillary".

Then again, I guess I have to consider my audience.
The biggest difference this time is the volatility. Aggregate polls were all over the place in 2016 going into the election, and Trump had lots of energy behind him.

When you compare the trends in those Midwest battleground states in 2020, most of them are flat as a pancake, which means that voters are settled into their position, not too unusual in a second term election.

Trump could still pull it out, most people give him odds less than 1 in 5, but foolish to think that the signs are good for him at this point.

Sorry Trumpies, but the dear leader is about to take his curtain call.
Biden's campaign manager has said these are all bogus. Its closer than that.

Weird, weird people in the media.

I actually have some friends who did the same thing. People need to quit making politics into a religion. Politicians are nasty people. You shouldn't get too attached. The last really good person to be president was perhaps the worst president of the last 150 years-Jimmy Carter.

Hillary was not well liked and was viewed as a continuation of the Clinton/Bush era. People wanted someone new and exciting. Enter Trump.........loud, obnoxious, promising the world. He won for that reason alone.

This year we have 4 years to reflect on and to be able to look at how divisive he has become and made this country. A lot of people are tired of the constant drama. Biden is your grandfather..........nice guy, tells a lot of long winded stories, but he's not going to rock the boat and be tweeting at 3am. He'll get up, go to work, do his job and unless it's a major thing going on you won't hear much about it.

I for one would love to be able to go through a day without having to hear/read about what the President said or did this time. I want to be able to have a conversation about politics without it devolving into what happens on a lot of these threads. i want to be able to walk down the street and not have to roll my eyes at the person coming towards me decked out in MAGA gear like they are a walking billboard. I cannot remember in any other year, regardless of it being an election year, of people walking around as advertisements for a candidate or a sitting president. Never did see a "tear down that wall" t-shirt or flag when Reagan was president. Never saw someone walking around in a Heinz ketchup hat "two things I can't live without...........my Heinz and my John Kerry". I mean most of the Trump supporters look ridiculous in the hats, shirts, etc. I, along with many others, just want a president that we can pay attention to when something happens and not make it a daily exercise in, "oh crap...what now."
Sounds like its a personal problem.

And don't forget that the lead now is with Biden well over 50%. In 2016, the gap might have been in HC's favor but both were below 50% indicating undecideds and room for growth. That doesn't seem to be the case this time.

He's only saying that to scare people into voting since so many people sat it out last time. What is he supposed to say?

The “lead” has decreased by a full point since this thread was started. #awkward

Trump’s loss is on track to be the worst for an incumbent since Carter.
