Not really - The difference is obvious, those not willing to tell anyone who they'd vote for, including people close to them, would vote Trump, does not make them a non-voter.

Re: U.S Election 2020

I know what the difference is I just don't understand how their methodology better finds the "shy Trump voter" than any other.

If I was reluctant to tell a pollster I'll vote Trump I'd probably say I'm probably not going to vote or undecided. I don't know how they extract me from those figures.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Because 2020 can't give us anymore nightmares, I feel it can and give Trump another 4 years.

Re: U.S Election 2020

No need for all this fakery when there's doubtless genuine videos out there.

Manipulated video of Biden mixing up states was shared 1.1m times before being removed.

A doctored video purporting to show Joe Biden addressing a rally and forgetting which state he was in was viewed more than 1.1m times on social media before it was removed from Twitter.

“Hello Minnesota,” the Democratic candidate says as he bounds on to a stage where signs saying “Tampa, Florida” and “Text FL to 30330” are prominently placed.
The footage was clipped from a campaign stop last Friday in St Paul, Minnesota. The signs, however, were fake, added by digital manipulation, according to an Associated Press fact check that debunked the story.

This is concerning.

Trump supporter caravan blocks people from voting in California

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...tan-ntp-feedsA huge caravan of supporters of President Donald Trump reportedly blocked the road to a voting centre in Temecula, California, on Sunday afternoon, prompting would-be voters to call the police.

The supporters paraded for 60 miles through Riverside County on Sunday afternoon before gathering at the city’s sports park.

However, the crowd and their vehicles also ended up obstructing the access to the site, which included a voting centre, according to the LA Times, leading some voters to complain to the authorities that the behaviour amounted to intimidation.

You cannot fake ALL his gaffes Andrew so no, they are not fake.

Sleepy Joe has said many many things that make no sense, like when he said he was running for Senate, when he was actually running for President, he said he joined the Senate 180 years ago and when he said only last week that we cannot have another 4 years of George. It's elder abuse letting this man run, with all his dementia like symptoms.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Joe Biden's mind is like a web browser. 19 tabs are open. 17 are frozen and he has no idea where the music is coming from.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Latest from Trump's campaign manager who has tweeted a series of tweets in the last hour:

Quote:
President Trump is ahead of where he was in 2016, by a very key measure.

It’s the measure that actually matters. Votes cast, and votes left to be cast.

You’ve been seeing reports of Democrats being nervous, and well, they should be.

--

Let’s start in Ohio, where Joe Biden is wasting a few hours today.

Weeks ago the partisan makeup of the electorate was D +10, today it’s D +0.6.

Going into E Day in 2016, the gap was D +2.5.

Pres. Trump has a projected Election Day votes cast margin of over 400k net votes.

--

Pres. Trump rallied in North Carolina this morning.

Democrats jumped out to a D +32 advantage during AB only voting. Today it’s D +5.8.

Going into Election Day in 2016, the gap was D +9.7.

Pres. Trump has a projected Election Day votes cast margin of over 400k net votes.

--

Pres. Trump and Biden are then heading to Pennsylvania.

Dems have banked A TON of high propensity voters. We have millions of voters left.

Pres. Trump’s E Day margin needs to be significant and we project an Election Day votes cast margin of over a million for Pres. Trump.

--

Don Jr. is in AZ today to etch the state into our win column.

Weeks ago the makeup of the electorate was D +11.9, today it’s D +1.2. Reminder: going into E Day in 2016, the gap was D +2.5.

Pres. Trump has a projected Election Day votes cast margin of over 150k net votes.

--

What about Florida?

Democrats jumped out to a D +18.8 advantage during AB-only voting. Today it’s D +1.

Going into Election Day in 2016, the gap was D +1.4.

President Trump has a projected Election Day votes cast margin of over 500k net votes.

Election Day votes cast margin is certainly a curious way to phrase it.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Whoever wins there's going to be riots.

Quote:
The White House is taking no chances for Election Day as crews will begin constructing a ‘non-scalable’ fence to secure the Executive Mansion, the Ellipse, and Lafayette Square, it has been reported...

...Cities across the nation have boarded up shops, storefronts, office buildings, restaurants, hotels, and other properties in anticipation of possible violence related to Tuesday’s presidential election.

Because there’s a ton of research that suggests the substantial amount of postal votes are putting Biden ahead. For a variety of reasons democrats are more likely to post their votes and republicans are more likely to vote in person on the day. The wording is carefully constructed so as to focus on the very specific metrics that favour Trump, whereas the overall picture certainly doesn’t.

Re: U.S Election 2020

Pennsylvania bakery's election-themed 'cookie poll' is now showing clear front-runner.

https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/p...ner-owner-says

Quote:
The official tally isn’t in just yet, but one candidate can safely claim victory in a Pennsylvania bakery’s cookie poll.

Lochel’s, a family-owned bakery located in the town of Hatboro, tells Fox News that the shop’s Trump-themed cookies are “vastly” outselling its Biden-themed cookies by a margin of almost 6 to 1, with some customers driving from neighboring states in order to get their hands on the treats.

“We had one guy drive twice from Staten Island for them,” said bakery owner Kathleen Lochel.

What’s more, Kathleen had previously touted that the informal “cookie poll” — which she’s held for the past four election cycles — has accurately predicted the outcome of the last three elections.

“We plan on tallying them up tomorrow night, to do our final tally,” she told Fox News on Monday morning of the bakery’s “cookie poll,” which kicked off around two months back. “But right now, Donald Trump is still in the lead… we’ve sold about 28,000 [Trump] cookies to 5,000 [of Biden’s].

“By the end of today’s sales, knowing the orders we have, [Trump cookie sales] should probably approach 29,000.”

Think it's less of an outlier than that Daily Express poll.
