I know. The media hides all bad things Biden. Trump still wins despite it all. That should tell you something. Dems can't even win by controlling the media. People are tired of it.

What I don't understand is that all of the polls have Biden winning this thing. When Trump gets out and holds his rallies 10's of thousands show up standing in line for hours on end. Yet when Biden, Harris or even the 2nd coming of Christ "Obama" show up they can't even draw flies?

Could it be that the polls are in bed with the media as cheer leaders for the Democrat's? I can't help but think so.

Democrats don't seem to feel the need to attend rallies in the middle of a global pandemic.

Attracting 30,000 people to a Trump rally means that you have 30,000 people who wanted to see the President. Maybe they'll vote for him, maybe not. Let's assume they will. And let's assume people drove up to two hours to get to the rally. Unless you're in a desolate area, many many many many more people than 30,000 live within a two-hour radius of the rally.

Let's say tomorrow Trump attracts 50,000 people to his rally outside of Phoenix. The population of Phoenix is 1.6 million. So even if all of them are from Phoenix (which they won't be), that's just 3% of the population of that one city. It's 0.7% of the population of Arizona.

I mean, 130,000 people went to Comic Con last year. Would you say that any sizable percentage of people living in the San Diego area went? Of course not. It's under 10 percent IF they all came from that city (which they didn't). So if you had a poll in San Diego about whether people like to spend their weekends dressing up as anime characters and you went to Comic Con, you might expect that tons of random San Diegoans will say yes... but you'd be sorely mistaken.

LOL

Did anyone notice this poll number shot up in a very short timespan here?

I checked this poll this morning, like 1130 ET or so, and Trump was up by 5, 143 to 138.

Now, Trump down 168 to 143?

A bit odd is all I'm sayin'....

Same thing happened about 7 days ago, Trump was about 5-7% behind for several days, reflecting how he was performing in national polls, and within a span of a few of hours the C-D poll suddenly moved him about 1-2% ahead of Biden. There are so many fake accounts that have popped up in C-D that are skewing this poll both ways that we should not be reading too much into this poll on how America will actually vote.

Hmm, it's widening. Didn't someone say that this is the most accurate poll they'd ever seen? LOL

The polling methodology here seems a bit suspect.

Something stinks about the poll results. How many votes came from posters with 5 or less posts?

Dems only rally in a protest or riot to loot and burn buildings and spray paint grafitti. Trump's rallies are peaceful. Just wait until Nov 3rd. Trump will win. People love him and the job he has done.
