    Election polling

    I am just curious what folks think about the polls.

    This poll works under the assumption that Biden is leading in national polls and in many of the swing states. Many projections have him in the 300 range for electoral votes. At this point, Trump is clearly playing catchup.

    Polling said Trump had a real chance to win in 2016. He had a 30% chance...for comparison, the road team in the NFL wins about 30% of the time.

    https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com...tion-forecast/ -- They settled in at 71% in favor of Clinton. Right now they have it 78% in favor of Biden. They did adjust their methodology to account for some of the problems that 2016 brought with it. We will see.

    I don’t believe any of those polls just like 2016 polls were a liberal wet dream hoax.

    Re: Election polling

    Trump will win in an electoral college landslide. California and New York will again skew the popular vote numbers because Republicans know its pointless to waste their time voting in those communist states.
