RE: Poll Conundrum
How many who votes for trump in 16’ will vote for Biden this time?
That would be like voting for Bush in 2000 and then John Kerry in 2004. Won’t be many of those

RE: Poll Conundrum
My mother in law who is a hardcore lib told me the other night she's sitting out this election.
When asked why she said, I hate Trump, but I hate Biden more. She said I don't understand how someone got into office like he did and stayed there for as long as he did and didn't do anything.

50 years of being a DC swamp rat, being on the wrong side of almost every issue, getting nothing accomplished and having more misogynistic and racist comments on tape and in print than Archie Bunker...yeah, he’s finally ready for the lifetime achievement nomination. Lol

I find it hard to believe that anyone other than the most strident Trump haters will be able to bring themselves to place a guy with obvious signs of dementia in the highest office in the land. Voters tend to become more responsible and pragmatic when the time comes to actually vote. In June of 1992, Perot was polling between 32% to 38% of the vote. By the time the votes were actually cast in November of 1992, he got about half that. When people really start paying attention to the election (and really start paying attention to Biden), it will become obvious the doddering gaffe prone hair sniffing fool Biden actually represents is simply NOT a viable alternative for president and that will be the end of it.....and thats before anyone starts dropping truth bombs about his corrupt activities while VP, his history of lying and plagiarism, or his ineffectiveness over almost half a century in Washington.

To me, that’s the most obvious/recognizable aspect of Biden’s life. He got elected to public office at the age of 26 and quickly figured out that it was a lot better and a lot easier than having to actually work for a living. He represented a constituency that close to DC and didn’t expect it’s Senators or Representatives to “lead” on anything, except to take care of the State’s banking/corporate interests like MBNA, and Biden did that.
I’d be honestly curious what political issues she considers most important. Every “hardcore lib” I know in Metro Atlanta is ALL-IN for Biden. They know he is borderline senile (and going downhill fast) and stands for nothing except his own (and his family’s) personal enrichment. They don’t care. They just hate trump and want him to go away. Everything else can be sorted out later.

Same as it always is...over sampling and A chunk of people not being open to discussing who they support.
And polling registered voters, not likely voters.

Biden ain't winning PA.. He may be a Scranton native but he's spent more time in Delaware than the Keystone State..

RE: Poll Conundrum
My Son is a liberal. (He’s only 30) I tell him when he grows up he’ll vote Republican like my two daughters. He was a big Obama fan and voted for Hillary the last election.
He’s not into social media but among his large group of liberal friends, (His fiancé is a school teacher), among their group he said none of them are excited about Biden. He said he was going to vote for whoever the Green Party candidate was. He said most of his friends are doing the same or sitting out the election altogether.
Just found the fact the younger generation seems content voting third party very interesting.

RE: Poll Conundrum
My two sons are staunch Reps but seriously I don't know if they vote. At least I know that they won't be voting for the senile one. Maybe the older one votes but I don't like to ask, it's their decision anyway but I know how they think. They share the same "dislike" for the Demons as I do.

Democrat friends I know aren't thrilled w/ Biden. I think they'd stay home if CNN wasn't telling them Trump's a Nazi & only Biden can stop him
One, a female friend, added he's creepy

We're also massively underrepresented during polling, I fully expect to see numbers we've never seen before for both the Green and Libertarian Parties. I am awaiting to drink whatever tears are shed about third party voting "costing" whichever side the election.
