The trumpinistas will cheat, so we have to GOTV. But this meme that the MEDia has about women can't beat 'em, or socialists can't beat 'em, or centrists can't beat 'em, or billionaires can't beat 'em is, to quote the orange jesus, bullsh*t.

1. Great but national polls are trash

when it all comes down to the swing states.

Let us learn from 2016.

4. Actually, I think the national polls were pretty accurate...

...I don't remember the numbers in terms of national percentages, but I think Hillary's popular vote margin of 2.86 million was close to what the national polls were showing. The problem, of course, was how those votes were distributed.

5. I know but they and final vote tally proved irrelevant.

[TomSlick]

8. Exactly!

Come on pollsters, do this kind of poll limited to swing states. Give me some useful information.

2. there are like 6 states that actually matter for the EC these days

as someone in the twitter thread mentions, i'd like to see EC modeling for each candidate
AZ,FL,OH,MI,PA,WI: if our nominee runs strong in those states, we're good. if not, the Democratic ticket could be up in the national polls by 8 points and still losing.

of course, this is largely based on the old rules. now, we have an unfettered criminal executive operating without oversight or accountability. everything is uncertain.

6. Michigan will be back in the Democratic column in November.

Dump attacked the son of a popular former governor, George Romney.

I predict 57 percent of Michigan voters will be in the D column in November.

10. Don't forget Trump told people in Michigan

Debbie Dingell's husband is in Hell. He was a very popular member of Congress there.

12. Debbie is my rep.

She’s a great one, as was John.

3. Running up the score in urban areas

Doesn’t win the electoral college. We are fucked. Goodbye environment

[FloridaBlues]

7. Don't t take these polls seriously people lie to pollsters esp this far out

[Wounded Bear]

11. Polls are data points, and are thus useful information...

definitely not definitive in a Presidential.

But, this indicates national support generally for Dems around the country in an election when we're trying to flip the Senate as well as win the White House.

9. Bloomberg

is a tsunami waiting to happen....

[smirkymonkey]

13. His poll numbers surprised me as well.

I didn't think he had a chance, but maybe the fact that he is infuriating Trump w/ his ads is part of his appeal. I certainly know that I am enjoying seeing him getting under the orange turd's skin.
