I thought Trump was polling badly. That's what the Harris cheerleaders say.

This will change as union members hear about Trump's comments about firing union members.

Last month, Trump was winning big in Pennsylvania. Now, not so much.

I remember the polls in 2016 - I remember CNN, MSNBC, and even Obama all LAUGHING at Trump. 

Hahaha he'll never be President hahaha - the American voters will decide and, frankly, it is very tight

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016. The polls were right.

They were wrong by over 1 point. The polls in 2020 wrong by almost 3 points. This is despite polling groups making changes to their methods. The errors more than doubled in size.

Winning the national poll is like capturing the most pawns in a game of chess. Interesting but irrelevant.  The swing states are the key, and they are still very much up for grabs, depending on what poll you see.  Harris will lose her 'honeymoon bump' and fall back to earth. Possibly during the Convention if it is disrupted, and definitely once she starts actually speaking TO the public and not AT the public.  Her campaign so far has been brilliant in keeping her far from actual Q and A, and that has helped for sure. But it can't last until November.

Your opinion. It's definitely too early to call the race, but it's not looking good for Trump. Especially if he continues to bitch about Harris rather than focus on what Americans want. Doubt he will change and probably will get worse.

 

Isn't his court date set for September? Could have an influence

Good luck, Americans! "Derrrr! Ma bwain herts!" people.

Seems like you don't understand either. Perhaps this will help. P.S. there is no pure communist country. North Korea being the closest.

 

The concepts of socialism and communism have similarities and differences. As theoretical ideas, they are more alike than they are opposing, but put into practice these two concepts garner distinctly different results.

Socialism is a philosophy based in social and economic sciences that strive to lessen inequalities by creating more equal distribution systems of a society's resources. Communism is also a social and economic philosophy that seeks to create greater equality, however, it does so through the elimination of private property. Both theories seek to lessen inequalities in the societies they function in.

Harris has new policies now. Her recent speech was pretty good. More to come this week. So that concern will be addressed.

As more polls are published, Kamala Harris will generate a bigger lead.

 

Trump is a failed candidate, a tired old man who can't keep up.

 

Let us hope you are right.

 

But don't forget the idiotic election system of the USA. The "loser" (of more than 3 Million votes) can be nominated as US-POTUS, what had happened in the 2016-election.

 

The majority of the all the US- votes may have the same value as toilet papers.

You are familiar with the statistical concept of "margin of error", right?

Both errors went to one side. Not small errors either. 2.9% is rather large for many polls. An error of that size is common for 1 poll but not for many combined. Their methods got worse not better. Many people have reported being phone by polling companies only to be hung up on when they stated who they supported.

Within their own party maybe yes......but no concern of the Rep's and 100% not ILLEGAL like what this idiot tried doing.

 

Wow you have to love how his followers "try" to deflect just like [Trump] tries !! 

 

Hmmmmm....I wonder if the warden will allow him his bronzer in prison???

I think there are very few countries that have a majority vote count election. Most have some sort of parliamentary or federal system- at least in the G7. Do you know of any?

     From what I can tell if I searched right: South Korea, Honduras, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, Iceland, Malaysia, Panama, Virgin Islands, Nicaragua, Bosnia, Paraguay, Venezuela, Philippines, Congo, and others.  Dozens of countries, such as Finland, Brazil, France, Russia, Austria, and Portugal, use popular vote but a candidate must win at least 50% of the vote in the first round.  If not, a second round is needed, with usually the top two vote-getters facing off.

So lots of basket case countries.

He receives a high pension unlike the normal one. He does not live in cheap condos.
