Not really.  The idea today is that there is this "silent majority" out there that are Trump supporters but won't tell pollsters about it.  That didn't happen in any relevant fashion in 2016.  It was a very close election, the polls were pretty good, and the undecideds broke towards the challenger at the end.  That's it.  That's the full story.

This year, the polls are not close and Trump's approval ratings are terrible across all sets of information that we have.  

However, I've said it here before and will say it again.  Biden could very well lose.  Trump has a consistent level of support and there is this weird uncertainty out there about COVID and Biden's mental acuity.  What I don't think will tip the scales is the protesting/rioting.  If it were Bernie, then yes, I could see the suburban support melt away.  But Biden is more law & order than the leftist Dems.  His two top VP candidates are a former prosecutor (who the left likes to call Cop-mala) and a National Security Advisor.  Not exactly what "Antifa" would offer up.

 

If the polls were so accurate why has there been a consistent conversation the last four years as to how they got it so wrong and how to improve polling?

I'm genuinely curious as you seem to be very knowledgeable on polls.

I won this argument in a landslide.

Maybe your argument will change the results of 2016.  

Cant wait until the debates.  Seniors now looking at lowest prescription drug prices in years.

"If you're questioning who to vote for, me or Donald Trump, then you ain't black"

- Joe Biden

He apologized almost immediately.  He will get 95% + of the Black vote.

Mary Trump said Donald and family throw around the N word frequently.  Black know he is a racist POS.

Maybe MInnesota is in play for 2020.  Was it around 45,000 votes that Trump lost the state by.  People seem to feel safe based on their democratic leadership.

So.

You equate this to a possible pick up for the orange one?

 

Lol

 

I saved it too

So there should be a lot of evidence backing up that claim then, right? I'll wait for you to find it.

So basically, the virus is going to run it's course regardless of the measures we take. Thanks, that's what many have been saying since the beginning of this.

Protect the immunocompromised and elderly and let's get back to life so we can develop immunity.

Well they did say that 265 million Americans would become infected with Covid 19 and that we could expect 2.2 million deaths.

Honestly yes, I do think this year provides as much of an opportunity for R’s in MN as there has ever been.  

Out of metro is frustrated with being lumped into he same Covid requirements as the cities.  They tend to vote R anyhow but maybe get a few more votes.  

The article (which I did not write, only cited) shows why debates will be important.  Does Biden go against party and say he’s against defunding police (costing him votes in MN which will more likely be people just not voting) or does he go with the defund police narrative (costing him votes).  How many remains to be seen by how these protests shake out between now and Nov.  

Feel free to hang onto this as it’s only my opinion.  The path for a Trump victory is still the same regardless if he wins MN.  It just may give him a little room for error in another state.

The 2nd link pretty much gives you the answer.

Those who felt led astray by surveys conducted during the 2016 U.S. presidential election may be surprised to learn that national polling was generally quite accurate.

National pre-election polls in 2016 indicated that Hillary Clinton would win the national popular vote by a 3-point margin, and in fact she won by 2 points. The major problem was with state-level polls, many of which missed a late swing to Trump among undecided voters and did not correct for the fact that their responding samples contained proportionally too many college-educated voters (who were more likely to favor Clinton). A silver lining is that both of these problems can be overcome, to some extent, by more rigorous survey weighting and heightened attention to the possibility of late shifts in voter preferences.

is Arizona a city or state?  

Do we honestly think there will be debates? What incentive does Biden have to do them? Keep using covid as the reason to do nothing and keep him in hiding. This gives him the best chance of winning.

I kind of agree.  (Seriously)

His campaign has been talk when absolutely needed and let Trump be Trump.  It's working.
