Poll analyst Nate Silver found that Gallup's results were the least accurate of the 23 major polling firms Silver analyzed, having the highest incorrect average of being 7.2 points away from the final result.

It is good to see that we have a leader who has a background in solving problems, coping with crisis situations and getting things actually done.
Who? Are you talking about President Pass-the-buck Trump?

That is how simple your thinking is. If you are living in the USA you are utilizing Democratic Socialist infrastructure, systems and programs..so let me ask you, are you a Communist or a Socialist? Or are you living totally off the grid. And you have made it even more apparent that you did not watch the video but ridiculously want to comment on it. I have not patience with ill-informed or uniformed opinions.

It’s good to see Biden maintaining a 7 percent lead over Trump in the RCP average.

A majority of our citizens understand that it’s time to make a change in the WH.

Economic models show that a short, predicted downturn will have a faster recovery. If he's wrong, and the result is that this carries out a lot longer and/or the death toll is a lot worse, then your (and my) precious 401k will suffer more.

I am about 10 years from retirement. A month or so ago, I was on track. Now I am way behind. My money is on the American people, that if Trump does not F-this up like he's trying to do, that we'll recover, and in 10-years time I'll be back on track, and then some. (For the people that were retiring this year or next, they may have to work a few more years. Either solutions is not going to change that.)
While I'm NOT arguing for what I write below or even saying it would happen.

If more elderly with preexisting conditions died it would be a net EV from a monetary standpoint. Less social security, disability, medicare, burden on hospitals ect.

Judging from china/ south korea I think mid april is realistic IMO.

Glad to see the people aren't agreeing with the 90% + negative coverage. I think Trump may of started slow on the virus, but is coming on strong now, huge steps have been taken. If Trump were to receive a second term, I think budget deficit reduction should be his number one priority, we've blown the budget completely at this point. Of course, getting either party to cut spending will be a tough task.
