Maybe his polls will actually start going down because people are afraid he has a traumatic brain injury. Look at the blood coming out of his head. That plus possible PTSD is very understandable.

It’s unfortunate, but maybe he should step down so Republicans can run someone else. Trump already had some mental problems and a bullet to the head doesn’t help. Blood coming from his head or his wherever isn’t good.

I believe, in this election, with two unfavorable candidates, everything is already baked in. There’s very little to move the needle at this point.

Biden screws the pooch during a debate? Polls still show him leading by a point or two, but within the margin of error. Trump gets nearly assassinated? Same, Biden leading by a not statistically significant number.

This election is going to be a squeaker, and we’re going to see unrest either way. We need a blowout to avoid that, and it’s not happening.

Edit: last poll I read had Biden leading. Either way doesn’t change what I said.

Unfortunately I see a 0% chance of Biden winning…

Democrats need polls to be overwhelmingly in their favor for us to just squeeze by. Being as low as we are should be taken as “we’re like 6x worse than what polls currently show.”

Is Biden shown leading? I only see doom and gloom posted here. Agreed on the need for a blowout, though. We need to show the world we categorically denounce the far right, and that looks unlikely even if Biden wins.

Biden is absolutely not leading. State polling has him behind in every swing state. Nate Silver’s model gives Biden a 30% chance of winning, slightly down from the debate.

Polls don’t mean shit until right before an election…and even then they’re suspect.

Their model showed that it was a VERY close race and Trump had a 1 in 4 chance of winning.

That doesn’t mean “Clinton is guaranteed to win.” It means, it’s a 4 sided die roll, and Trump had a side.

Yup, it was within the probability. What it shows is that a lot of people who voted for Trump didn’t say they were when polled.

They’re still talking about his rigged 2020 was rigged.

Trump wanted investigations into 2016, and he won!

100% 2024… RIGGED!

Yes, they’ll say it was rigged no matter what. What matters is who actually ends up in office on Jan. 20th.
