They just did a yuge dump of this past month’s results yesterday, and it seems as if their results consistently skew about 3-5 points toward Biden. I notice 538 only rates them “B/C.”

I’m expecting a bunch of big-name polls releasing results tonight/early tomorrow, so that they can be a major topic of discussion on tomorrow morning’s talk shows.

But I am scared shitless he is gong to win re-election. Michael Moore said today there is a good possibility he will could win again because there isn’t enough enthusiasm for Biden for people to get out and vote for him. I guess people are ok with an out of control pandemic, massive unemployment and black people being brutally murdered by cops. Moore said the protests and counter rioters are helping MF45 with his law and order bs.

November 3rd can’t get here soon enough. I want a sane leader would will bring us back together not tear us apart. And a president who doesn’t grift and profit off being A president.

Okay, he was right in 2016 so now he's Nostradamus? More like Nostradumbass. And, if anything, these polls just fire me up all the more to vote in November and I'm not the only one. Everybody needs to stop listening to Nervous Nellies and prophets of doom like Moore and get busy.

Have a good, safe rest of your weekend.

In my red county the Trump signs are hard to find this time of year, in 2016, they were all in my face anywhere that I went.

In the primary election to replace the Republican Yoho, the democratic primary had as many if not more votes cast as the republican primary, although the republican primary had around 10 people and the democratic primary had only 3 people running.

In a State District Judge race, a moderate republican that has extensive environmental credits to her and her husband easily defeated a lock-them-up rightwing republican, removing him from the seat.

I just think that people are focused and ready to vote, they seem to just want the nightmare to end.
