    The biggest scam in the world is that if you’re a working person and you get a break or a benefit from the government you’re some kind of a loser but if you’re rich and get a sweetheart no bid contract or enormous tax subsidy you’re a genius.

    I would be careful with this done deal stuff. The polls were actually a lot better in 2016 than 2012, believe it or not. But, let’s not forget a polling error can go either way too:

    I also think the aggregators aren’t helping anything by calculating unverifiable probabilities. I see the averages as useful but making up odds of winning is completely subjective and really only able to be tested on a theoretical basis.

    govt is too big.

    I said this before but the companies my friends worked for all wanted to go public or be purchased by a Company with good stock.

    Now 75% of the people I know work for places whose goal is more govt contracts.
    (although some are also listed on stock exchanges. )

    Its amazing change in mindset and business posture since 911.

    This could translate into a shift in some votes...
    The question is... how will this impact the swing states.

    The polls are going to be very interesting next week.

    HUGE NUMBERS: Trump Approval Surges to 52% – Black Voter Approval Jumps to 45% in Race Against Joe Biden

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...al-among-likely-black-voters-jumps-46-debate/

    President Donald Trump’s approval among likely black voters jumped to 46 percent, according to Rasmussen Reports data posted Friday morning, less than 24 hours after the final presidential debate.

    According to the tracking survey, Trump’s approval jumped nine points from Thursday to Friday, going from 37 percent on Thursday to 46 percent on the morning following the presidential debate. Overall, Trump has experienced a 24 percent bump in approval among likely black voters since Monday:

    Funny how these names Rasmussen and Breitbart tend to come up a lot in stories suggesting the Republicans will win elections. On election night, Trump will be shown the exit. Trump will not have some breakthrough in black voters, and even more importantly tons of women will want Trump gone.

    Will it be a landslide ? That's the best question. It may take 8 years for the Republicans to recover from their Trump experience.

    You have been a moron since at least 2016. And, you are not even American commenting in so many threads about politics here.

    "Trump lost this election months ago. You and a few others are in for a surprise on election night. Then you'll spend 4 years complaining about Clinton no matter what occurs. When Obama got elected, most of his early projects were blocked by Republicans and very little could get done. Maybe some of you should spend less time complaining about weak policy based on bipartisan feelings and look at why watered down projects like Obamacare came into being."

    If the Republicans loose a lot of seats plus the Presidential Election...

    They'll most likely do a better vetting job before allowing another Trojan Horse (reform party) to enter their ranks.

    Regarding National Polls...

    Reuters showed their template for the poll for October 21...
    They had biden plus 9
    but they used

    44 lean Democrats
    38 lean Republican
    10 percent independents
    8 don't knows

    1. That poll seems to have sampled far to few independents.

    This is interesting... on page 15...

    2. 44% of the people in their poll voted in the democrat primary
    32% of the people voted in the Republican primary...

    It seems to me the poll was slanted by 12 voters to Biden... yet biden only lead the poll by 9.

    I hope we can see their template in the next few poll it will be interesting to see if this changes.


    There all sorts of other slants you can see on page 15...
    This is quite complicated...

    They slanted the independents to democrats... 47 to 21 in the primary / caucus category
    when form what I read... many republicans say they are independents...

    I don't know but this looks like a very slanted poll to me.
    Look at page 15 and tell me what you think..

    This is a deep look than I have had experience with..
    If you know polls please explain why such slants are justified.
