But then again it's America so I think they're predicting to properly be in it for the long haul Yeah you can’t predict what is going to happen over here based on what’s going on over there. America isn’t coming out of their first wave anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You understand the difference between a 3 point national lead on average and a 9 point average lead? And fox news polls have biden ahead by around 12 anyway.

squirrelarmy Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The US is a complete mess and all but the most hardcore of Trump supporters are beginning to see it. Yesterday they had the equivalent of 1 death every minute from Covid, the majority in Texas. They are about to stop testing in Florida and using a fairly mild tropical storm as the excuse.

Trump runs his campaign based on jobs and the economy mostly doesn’t he ? How’s he doing on that front at the moment ? And can you see any vast big improvements over the next few months the way covid is going ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reckoner Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) The national polls weren't too far off being correct with Clinton carrying the popular vote by 2.1%. The error by everybody was using National polls to try and predict what would happen across what is essentially 50 different contests. Trump won Michigan, Penslyvania and Wisconsin, and thus enough to hit 270 in the electoral college, by under 1% and a culmulative total of 67k votes. He's behind in all 3 states currently and that's before you even consider wildcards like Texas, Georgia and Florida due to being smashed by Covid. It will tighten when they start directly campaigning against each other due to his shiny teflon head that nothing sticks to, but he's in a lot of trouble currently that can't be explainined away by " but the 2016 polls!'

Very true....but the point is that at present the increase in cases is not significant, and wayyyy down on rates a couple of months back, so when these are reflected in admissions our health services will be able to cope. What matters most now is for everyone to keep their guard up, and not assume it's all over. Young and old included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewevie Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I can't see Trump winning this time...as long as Biden doesn't scew up. Trump is losing the woman voters, and the older voters. Also, Biden appeals to many of those working class in rust belt states that voted for Trump last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I just think the bigger problem will be he wont accept any defeat and will try to drag things out and not allow any type of transition. What he doesnt understand is that even if it does get tied up in court, he is literally out of office in January 21. The speaker of the house is sworn in and thats that. Also you know he will keep reversing any obama era legislation and such even though an administration that is on the way out isnt supposed to push through any new legislation. Im sure if there ended up being a supreme court seat up for grabs on the last day he is in office, there easily will be a slimey move made to make it a GOP pick. Then again, Kavanaugh will probably get ousted from his seat if the Dems get their way. Edited July 30, 2020 by Suprefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
