Here's What the Polls Say Ahead of Donald Trump, Joe Biden Presidential Debate BY JEFFERY MARTIN ON 9/29/20 AT 5:40 PM EDT According to an average of national polls by political site FiveThirtyEight on Tuesday, Biden had 50.2 percent of the support of Americans. Trump lagged behind with 43.2 percent. https://www.newsweek.com/heres-what...d-trump-joe-biden-presidential-debate-1535127 Trump knows he's the most unpopular candidate. He knows he is losing. Ivanka, Laura, Eric, and Junior are all busy tweeting away and spreading the same lies as Trump, because their Grift is coming to an end. They are in desperation mode now.
Take it with a grain of salt (Quinnipiac polls have generally been slightly Democratic leaning but even accounting for that, this is a bad result for both Graham and Trump). Also if these numbers are even close to real, Joe Cunningham will have no issue holding onto his seat.
Unlike 2016 with some large swings, 2020 has been quite stable. No surprise given two well known candidates with high polarization.
I find it depressing that it should ever be close at all, but thanks to FOX News and a lot of truly stupid people, here we are. If Trump said, "And chocolate milk comes from brown cows; everybody knows that," his followers would be repeating it as gospel.
I don't mind the ribbing and having been moving the race more towards a Biden win. At this point I'm much more worried about the shenanigans that might happen affecting voting, vote count, and certification of the election. Also to add I said this election needs to be taken very seriously and not for granted and I'm glad to see that appears to be the case.
Yeah shenanigans were my biggest fear as well but the way they are panicking I don't think they have a coherent plan for that. My biggest fear is hacking but nobody seems to talk about that.
I gotta admit I don't know enough about the issue of hacking of vote machines. My understanding is that hacking them as in like some of the identity thefts isn't likely as they aren't really connected to the internet. It sounds like there are vulnerabilities built into the software and those have made the potential of votes to be changed but will admit I don't really have a good sense of how bad that is. What I wonder about is if the machines themselves are difficult to hack is if the reporting of the vote can be hacked.
I don't know either but it seems that voter rolls could be compromised meaning some people could be turned away because the rolls where compromised.
Voter Rolls might be compromised, and that could be dangerous with mail-in voting since voters won't be able to confirm in person if they are on voting rolls. Hopefully, each state has already printed up voter rolls are have secured them in order to ensure that everyone that can vote will be counted. As far as the machines, there's problems in Georgia already...if you remember the governor's election recently, the fact that the machines were altered close to the election has been a sticking point for the Dems in their case against the election being stolen from them. Georgia is doing it again as they try to fix a "glitch" right before the election. There's a lawsuit going on to force Georgia to go to paper ballots instead. https://www.wrbl.com/news/georgia-n...eorgia-voting-machine-glitch-and-planned-fix/
