Whatever it was, DU, just follow AA instincts and get out and vote accordingly.

just kidding. i played poker with one of them this summer in LA. really nice guy we played together for hours when suddenly he proclaims trump the best president we ever had. clearly extremely low info. We had a rousing discussion during which I got way too emotional...he pulled out his phone to show me a video of fox news blaming the child kidnappings at the border on Bill clinton. why didn't i pull out my phone?? instead i just said something contemptuous about fox news.

most of all i blame myself for not simply telling him, you're a black man. do you really not know that trump would sooner see you dead than to govern in your best interests??

anyhow. it never got hostile (well maybe me a little, but he was more amused and told me he loved me). on the other hand i doubt i was able to teach him a single thing. maybe planted a seed. it's so hard for me to get why any POC or woman for that matter could support a man so thoroughly dreadful, sick, twisted, and disgusting. trump hates us all.

I have always relied more on Likely voters as a sample..





Article: Poll: 60 percent disapprove of Trump, while clear majorities back Mueller and Sessions
Data: Complete trends over time

Part 1: Most Americans oppose Trump firing Sessions

This Washington Post-ABC News poll was conducted by telephone August 26-29, 2018, among a random national sample of 1,003 adults, including landline and cell phone respondents. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Sampling, data collection and tabulation by Abt Associates of Rockville, MD.

Tump is a Neo Nazi and a white Supremacy, that’s what makes him so popular with his supporters. Any minority who supports Trump is seriously out of touch.

I don't trust polls that don't reflect common sense. It's almost impossible for any question to legitimately register 3%, no matter the topic or the sampling.

My version will be proven correct over time. In fact, it would be correct now, in other polls. But I don't mind the forum enjoying this one briefly.
