Take a look at the registration numbers for the state, particularly in the Pittsburgh area.
Allegheny got a Dem bump, but in the previous week the GOP lead the week in the county.

People need to be taking these registrations seriously, not polls. If T was in serious trouble there wouldn't be huge increases in GOP registrations. Pittsburgh and Philly lost registered Dems since 2016 and there's likelihood of a lower minority turnout. The indies like they did for Romney will probably go for Creepy Joe but this is likely gonna be a base election.

And no I'm not voting for either candidate. Trump hasn't done enough to earn my vote but the Demwits are garbage and they are equally to blame for the mess in 2020 as the WH/GOP, if not more due to them pushing lockdowns and rioting BLM/antifa.

Hmmm. Almost sounds like there’s people who have stayed silent through all of this and are now coming to the forefront.

Trumps racist and xenophobic rhetoric will ensure a very high minority turn out. We are sick of seeing his face on a daily basis. We will stop at nothing to oust him from the white house.

Interesting take, especially with Biden’s obviously racist past, and even Kamala Harris called him a racist.

Do you think she was wrong in what she said?

Who is "we"? I've seen that there are quite a few Black and Latinx Trump supporters. Gay ones, too. I really don't understand it. In my mind it's sort of like chanting "Slugs for salt!!!" For some reason he really appeals to a wide range of people, though. I really don't get it.

Your guy voted for the crime bill incarcerating blacks for nonsense. Your guy "joked" "You ain't black" if you're black and vote for Trump. Your guy called Obama one of the good ones. Your guy's running mate referred to him as a racist during the debates.

You people still haven't explained what xenophobic and racist rhetoric or actions has he taken part in since being sworn in. As a black guy, explain it to me. And no, the "fine people" hoax about Charlottesville doesn't count; that was already debunked, even by liberal outlets.

It's the alpha mentality, SCR. Many gays are also business owners and view Trump as an ally when it comes to their bottom lines.

Biden is one of the worst lesser of two evil choices I can recall. I really am dismayed that after 4 supposedly horrible years of Trump that Biden is the best they can do. Buttigieg, O'Rourke would have been better choices. Even Bernie.

Trump is not 'racist', nor 'xenophobic'. He is just not warm and fuzzy. He's insulted women, the physically impaired, the DEAD/martyred. Let's be honest - most of us have KNOWN that personality type.
This is not why a lot of people like him - they like him that you can't ever call out any inconsistencies on his behaviour.

He has NEVER enacted policy based on race. The same illegal persons policies apply to Canada, Europe, and Asia, not only to the Guatamalan/Salvadoran masses that marched through Mexico (facing ostracism and hate there, too) intending to get into the United States. We are talking thousands of people at once, all undocumented, and sorry to say - most without skills and literacy. Of course, this became an anti-hispanic thing. No - it was a PRO-American thing. Somehow, we aren't allowed to protect our quality of life, as fragile as it is with too many people in the underclass.
Governors from the border states were complaining maybe since REAGAN about illegal entries and the social cost. No one ever did anything seriously about it....enter Trump, with the cajones to actually put a stop to it.

The restrictions on some muslim countries were just that - on SOME muslim countries. I do not believe that was an anti-muslim thing. Look - don't support anti-Western groups. Don't cheer when a neighboring state talks about evil Israel and how it must be destroyed. Don't pretend to be our friend (for our tech, and gasoline markets), then stick a dagger in our back. Don't be a person enrolled in an American university, then get on some list for your social posts tied to...terrorist organizations!
Don't do any of that, and maybe the US will get off your back.

So far, it sounds like he just has the guts to do for our common good - its treading ground none other would have dared do, not even Bush 1.

Add to that how he is atypical of any prez. This is a gray area - in my view, he hasn't 'drained the swamp', but instead created his own septic tank. Some people, however, like his SOB, gutsy approach, septic tank symptoms be damned.

The registration. Numbers are interesting. I left the Democratic Party and joined the Republicans. Don’t like Trump but the left isn’t my thing anymore. I started to realize when they called all Trump voters racists, I knew they were just a very ugly group I couldn’t be involved with. The left went nuts and look bad with their racism sexism and even ageism. No thanks. Heck the left even uses the term patriot as an insult. Wow, I am sure our veterans and military are pleased about that. Talk about no respect for others.
