President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Classic overcompensation by irrational dick-wavers.

 

For whatever reason, yard signs for either candidate are rare in Cape Cod. Lots of bumper stickers instead.

 

I take a CNN poll like that with as much salt as I take a Rasmussen poll right now. I wonder how much of an accurate sample CNN is getting right now considering how loathed it is by the right.

 

Like the doctors said...the tweets (or maybe lack thereof) should be the tells...

 

We have a lot of Biden signs in our town and I’ve only seen two for Trump. The local GOP has been focusing on the house race, as the Dems flipped a seat in 2018 and the GOP is running the son of a popular former governor to re-flip. The GOP candidate has basically been silent on Trump to try to thread the needle of getting all Trump voters and relying on his family good will on moderate voters so all of the local signs have been just about him.

 

poindexter - your posts have indicated you understand something of math and probability. Why do you have such a hard time seeing this?

 

I find that odd but true. These scumbags have shown no empathy or humility about Trump for anything. You’d think they’d be proud boys and girls and shove it down the pollsters’ throats. And as much as they say they hate the polls and media they are the first to shot their pants when Trump doesn’t get glowing headlines and positive poll numbers. why are they shy to pollsters and no one else?

 

My liberal burg really only has local candidate signs with the exception of one house that has gone full Trumpist in my neighborhood. There's another Trumpist but he only has the signs hanging inside his garage so from the street if he isn't tinkering with something, you wouldn't know.

The full Trumpist guy I kind of want to troll him, but I have a feeling I wouldn't get out of the immediate block before someone tracked me down.

 

Polls only ID their media sponsor if said sponsor is looking for quotes by respondents, which NBC/Wall St. Journal and Times/Siena sometimes but not always do. CNN's firm's polls are the most volatile, because they do not weight against non-response bias, which is when voters whose side is getting bad news are less willing to answer any poll by any outlet. Look at the opposite side of the coin. Fox News polls have had lots of bad numbers for Trump this year. They aren't ID'ing themselves as Fox either.

 

I think that there are tens of millions of people who don't tell the truth to pollsters when it comes to Trump. They only tell the truth in the voting.

I saw it four years ago. I'm not falling for it in 2020.
