    The only poll that matters to me is voter enthusiasm. People will walk through hell, high waters, BLM and Antifa to vote for Mr Trump. In the meantime, Biden’s voters just grew restless from waiting for Joe to empty his urine bag and trying to play Despacito on his phone.

    Trump attracts much enthusiasm, for and against him. Poll said more against than for.

    That matches what I've seen. Most of the Vietnamese community here is from South Vietnam and became refugees fleeing the NVA. The older ones still are very suspicious of Communists and buy into the argument that the Democrats are really Communists in sheep's clothing.

    What I've seen of the Hmong community that fought the NVA and were driven out of Laos and Vietnam by the Communists is the ones that are politically active are staunchly Democrat. All of the Hmong elected to office have been Democrats. Cy Thao a Hmong who initially ran on the MN Independence Party switched to Democrat and won.

    I think we will see turnout numbers even higher than when Obama was elected. In 2016 you had Democratic voter apathy combined with extreme conservative hatred for Hillary that led to the clown who is now POTUS.

    If the Dems would have ran anyone but Hillary they would have won. Many liberals wanted Sanders and so they stayed home. Conservatives that really didn’t care for Trump but hated Hillary voted against her rather than for him.

    This time you will see the Hillary effect in reverse. People will come out in droves to vote against Trump.

    You're assuming reading comprehension skills from that poster. He's all bluster....much like his dear leader.

    COVID-19

    a re election year unlike 2008 where you didn't have anyone with previous WH experience.

    The enthusiasm of the anti-Trump voter pales in comparison to the Trump voter. In basic psychology, love always Trumped hate.
    It is very hard to find an honest Biden voter who is excited and enthusiastic about voting for Biden.

    On the other hand, I’ve been to so many Trump rallies and have spoken to countless Trump supporters private or public. The enthusiasm for Mr Trump is off the chart.

    One more point you guys seemed to miss, the average Trump voter is just like you, could be one of your friends, co-workers or relatives. They are just sick and tired of being spat on, assaulted, characters assassinated and they just want to exercise their rights to support their candidate.

    The fire in the belly of a Trump voter burns brighter than the PNW fires at the moment, where it is almost impossible to find even a tiny spark inside of a Biden voter.

    I believe it to be the opposite. Trump supporters are vociferous. They wave flags, apply bumper stickers; I saw a group of them off I-10 and Mason last weekend selling hats and waving signs.

    They are not the silent majority they are the embarrassing aunt and uncle whose house you use COVID as an excuse not to visit since all they do is watch Fox News and spew conspiracy theories.

    The silent majority has spent the last 4 years aghast at tweet after tweet of divisiveness and hatred.

    After staying home in 2016 they are coming to the polls in November.

    I think the fact that it is close in states like Georgia is not a good look for Trump.

    Biden leading in states Trump won...not a good sign for Trump.

    Some polls are showing Latinos are going for Trump in Florida, while others are saying Biden has a huge lead among Latinos in Florida.

    Provided the youth vote turnout. There's been many elections where the youth vote favored one candidate but didn't turnout.

    I think if Biden can win or keep the senior vote close that is a far greater indicator that he will win the election.

    If you live in Massachusetts you see more Trump stickers and attire than Biden or Hillary.

    Trump voters love advertising themselves as Trump voters. Something about "triggering" people.

    Good thing the poll said this voters where motivated to vote right? :D

    The huge thing is young voters are thinking about voting and planning to do so which is way better than who cares which is usually the default.

    Can I have this please?
