Polls had Hilary winning too...we just need everyone to go out and vote. Don't think it's in the bag because of "polls." If every single protester out there trying to get justice for George Floyd votes, Biden wins period.
Yep, polls are nothing but candy for politicos. They're more a benefit to campaigns to "fine tune" their message than for real action.
According to the polls, we are up by 11 points, but do not be complacent, I want all hands on deck, no malarkey, get your asses to the polls this Wednesday, Nov 4- Joseph Biden
These worthless national polls are the reason one can win the popular vote and still lose the presidency.
National numbers mean absolutely nothing. Follow Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Need those to get out of the margin of error.
What's happening now really plays to Biden's strengths. Showing empathy and to people suffering. I just don't think he's good going on the attack. Almost all of his gaffes and hokiness comes out when he takes the offensive.
Yeah, between Corona and the race war, this is a situation tailored for Biden to excel. The problem is that we can't expect 5 more months of the wind blowing a certain way and Trump making unforced errors (more than his normal ones, anyway). Nor do I think you can expect to win an election purely by incumbent implosion. At a certain point Biden will have to go on offense.
Not really - It's definitely possible to win by 2 or 3 points nationally and lose in the EC. It's very unlikely once you go up +4, and +11 is not even a contest.
I agree. Leading by example certainly is important, but Biden can't leave the "attack field" to trump, who is going to use every dirty trick in the book. Heck, trump will likely use some new tricks, with help from the GRU. Biden needs to be sharpening his attack playbook, and his delivery. He's going to need it. Meanwhile, there are other Democrats to call on, as well as a Democratic Socialist who ran against him. There are also some Republicans eager to see trump defeated. Joe Biden needs to reach out to those people and encourage them. He will need all the help he can get.
So you think voters are gonna forget all of this in 5 months? No he will not have to go on offense because Trump will continue to self destruct.
Biden has been in the back chillin while Trump implodes once the 2nd wave of Covid-19 hits, everyone will be reminded about how he completely bungled this pandemic from the jump...everyone will be reminded about how a virus that has killed over 100k in 3 months was a hoax to him 40 mil unemployed and counting won’t forget gassing and firing rubber bullets at peaceful protesters won’t be forgotten
Just as I start to adjust to the new normal, I see a phrase like this one and am somehow shocked again at where we're at in the world right now.
Perfect case in point - that poll had Clinton +6 with a 3.5% MOE. That meant it predicted Clinton anywhere from +2.5 to +9.5 The final margin was just outside that range : +2.1% Clinton, it's a miss, but not that huge of a miss, and most national polls performed pretty close to their prediciton + MOE in 2016.
