And, I am not saying Biden won't win that vote, but I honestly think people are underestimating how many will vote for Trump, especially the young guys.
So, what’s the source of your knowledge? There’s roughly 45 million people in that age group. How are you tuned in to their preferences as a group? How do you know more than folks who study representative samples and how to poll them?
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Yeah dude, probably all 257k all voted for Biden. There feel better. The melt down is going to be hilarious when Trump is still in power on Jan 22.

The bolded is right out of the playbook of those who don't give a flying crap about Trump. They just love to taste the tears of the vanquished liberal.

Maybe “killing all the olds, especially the black ones, with the pandemic” wasn’t the best campaign tactic.

The campaign phone banks were calling GA yesterday. Everyone I talked to (which wasn’t many people) had either voted or planned to go vote tomorrow.

Wasn't scary and actually really important. I used to listen to Thom Hartmann's radio show every day. The guy was the best. Super intelligent and knowledgeable, and delivered in a such a calm, grandfatherly tone.

Yeah I do go over the top, but we all lived through Gore/Bush. This is going to be that x50

I don’t see how Trump don’t contest this with the mail in voting and with so many swing states having Repubs in control it’s scary

For You poll people these maybe interesting.

The first is based on those who have already voted.



This is on who is left to vote.

Now Biden/Harris signs outnumber Trump signs by 10/1, at least. Now, we live a block away from the university, but on our street alone it’s 12-0.

And while it’s still likely a lean Tubberville, there a lot of optimism still about Doug Jones. Tubberville’s commercials have been awful, and he’s getting outspent by Jones.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still likely a Trump and Tubberville sweep in Alabama, but the eyeball test on the ground is entirely different.
Welcome to the world of living in a bubble. I don't actually know what Trump's yard signs look like because I haven't seen one.
But the point is that in his bubble, last cycle he saw no enthusiasm for the Dem candidate, this year he's seeing a lot.

It's such a cult, man. I see people flying flags off their trucks and all kinds of creepy bullshit. I've never seen this type of behavior before for an elected official. I do enjoy giving them the jerking off motion when I see them though.

Methinks this should be getting more traction. That number likely puts MI in the Hillary column in 2016, and NC and FL are nothing to sneeze at here. Combining this demo change with the white suburban women running away from Trump (figuratively and quite possibly literally) it seems that the polls might be more effectively calibrated this cycle.
Gotta add in seniors, which isn't getting enough attention, either.

It isn't saying anything about other groups - but it is certainly positive as regards getting the youngest voters out in much larger numbers - and those are gonna be heavily Biden voters.

Because the polling and early voting numbers are exactly what you would want for a blue wave.

I said this in Jan. 2017... People are fucking pissed. And frightened of what the Republicans are doing.

The last act of this version of the Republican party will be stealing yet another Supreme Court seat. They'll all be asking "was it worth it?" after the run the Dems are about to have. The demographics of this country don't add up for the GOP. It's pretty simple. They've been on a self-destructing path for over 2 decades now.

I think IF the election is a complete blowout including Biden winning states like Georgia, NC, AZ and even maybe Texas, this huge wave of COVID-19 cases is going to seal Trump's fate. The stock markets are already in freefall because the second wave is hitting Europe and what's really the third wave here is leading to record case totals every day. At this point unless some drastic measures are taken (which won't happen) the numbers being reported by Election Day are going to be very grim indeed. And some of those ninnies who manage to change their minds all of the time will either stay home or swing their final vote to Biden.
