I don't understand the logic in why you guys keep doing this to yourselves.
This.
A million times.
It makes no sense. Don't they ever get tired of being wrong? The "Russia!" hoax. The "very fine people" hoax. the "all Mexicans are rapists" hoax. The "Ukraine call" hoax. The "inject bleach" hoax. The list is endless. And always wrong.
I don't think there's any logic to it at all - it's just emotional manipulation on a broad scale, and these people won't listen when we tell them that's what's happening to them.
I wonder why the huge increase in just one day. I would be tempted to say it was the debate, but I don't recall anything being said by Trump or Biden that would account for the increase in black support. Can anyone enlighten me or does anyone have a theory?
Fraud happens on the other side...we don't have any fraud in the voting on our side.
Not one case of fraud was even prosecuted in 2016.
Maybe not in 2016, but since then, according to the following link, there have been FOUR DOZEN cases of fraud involving voting and some of these did involve Democrats:
Every President since polling began maintained a minimum of 50% approval throughout his term as President. The 50% was the floor; most of the time they all were actually several points higher.
Only Donald Trump failed to ever reach that 50% approval average. The most he's been able to do is 43%, and that has been remarkably stable, rarely going higher or lower. So, for Trump, 43% was both his ceiling and his floor in approval ratings.
That means Trump's base- the voters who went for him early and who voted for him in 2016- are still with him. He's kept them quite intact for 4 years, but he hasn't captured any new voters since then.
Trump's favorability average isn't at 50%. Rasmussen, and outlier, may have bumped Trump's average up a point, but he's still around 43%, and Biden has been as stable at 51%.
Both have gotten minor bounces, and both have dipped down to low points. The gap between them remains much larger than the one in 2016, a closer race by far.
The averages don't lie.
No one has ever asked me or my friends whether I approve or disapprove. How many others have never been included in these polls?
I've been asked but refuse to answer. You never know when your name gets on someone's list and some nefarious liberals show up at your door to burn you out.
I literally don't care what youtube video you can drum up 8 years later.
No one, throughout the entire election cycle, thought Mitt had a chance in hell. No one.
Wrong!....they were simply shocked that night....shocked. They hated Nate Silver and it just blew up in their face....Dick Morris.....Dean Chambers from unskewed polls and Rasmussen all being touted on Fox News. South Park even did a parody of the Republican reaction.
The Whole Romney Ticket Believed in Unskewed Polls?
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan both believed the public polls were wrong, and that they'd win on Election Day. Their wives did, too.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan both believed the public polls were wrong, and that they'd win on Election Day. Their wives did, too. "I don't think there was one person who saw this coming," a senior adviser told CBS News' Jan Crawford. An advisor said of Romney, "He was shellshocked." When Romney claimed on Election Day that he hadn't written a concession speech, it sounded like trash talk. Apparently it wasn't. How could they not have seen it coming?
They convinced themselves and everyone who watches Fox they had it in the bag. Like I said I remember it like it was yesterday.
