Texas Currently Leading Nation Youth Voter Turnout

I fear Texas might flip blue..

[i][/i]A landslide victory for Joe Biden is now a realistic possibility.

The Democratic nominee has a lead of around 10 percentage points over President Trump in national polling averages, and he is up across almost all the battleground states.

Trump faces low job approval ratings, bad marks for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and an ever-decreasing number of opportunities to change the direction of the race.

The first debate has come and gone, and the second scheduled clash has been canceled. Only one more debate, set for Oct. 22, remains.

No challenger to an incumbent president since Bill Clinton almost 30 years ago has been in such a strong position as Biden with such a short period of time until Election Day.

Still, even Democrats are reluctant to talk out loud about a Biden landslide for fear of jinxing a monumental election or encouraging complacency. Many pundits are also hedging their bets, mindful of the 2016 experience.

The national polls four years ago were — contrary to public perception — not far off the eventual result. But state-level polls, especially in the Rust Belt and the Midwest, went seriously awry.

Democrat Hillary Clinton went into Election Day ahead in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by 3.4 points, 1.9 points and 6.5 points respectively in the RealClearPolitics (RCP) polling averages. Trump carried all three states.

Trump aide Corey Lewandowski — the president’s first campaign manager in the 2016 cycle, now back on board for the 2020 effort — contended that the polls that year and the media’s coverage of them had amounted to “enormous misinformation.”

In a conference call with reporters Monday morning, Lewandowski said, “Our internal numbers — and we are very confident of where our numbers are — continue to show a very different story” from the public polls.

Still, Biden’s lead in some key battlegrounds is greater than Clinton’s was four years ago. He is about 7 points ahead in the RCP averages in both Michigan and Pennsylvania. He is almost 4 points up in Florida. New polls on Monday from the New York Times/Siena College put Biden ahead by 10 points in Wisconsin and 8 points in Michigan.

Caution is still the watchword for many experts who acknowledge that the president cannot be counted out. But, the flip side — a Biden victory by a thumping margin — is also well within the realms of possibility.

“Neither of the outcomes that looks a bit of a reach right now is out of the question,” said Steve Kornacki, national political correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC. “We are always fighting the last war where everybody remembers the surprise of 2016. But if you apply that and think — as I think we should — that Trump could win this thing, you have to entertain the other possibility: that Joe Biden could win an emphatic victory.”

Among Democrats, there is acute fear that Trump could pull a surprise for any number of reasons, ranging from voter suppression or intimidation to less mendacious explanations like an unexpectedly high turnout from his supporters.

Biden “is in a very strong position, there is no question about that,” said Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster who is also a columnist for The Hill. But Mellman added, referring to Trump’s perceived chances of victory, “I have spent most of the last four years trying to remind people that 25-percent events really happen once every four times, and 15 percent chances really do happen about 15 percent of the time.”

Data site FiveThirtyEight gave Trump just a 13 percent chance of prevailing in November as of Monday evening. By contrast, it assessed the chances of Biden winning an Electoral College margin of more than 100 electoral votes at greater than 60 percent.

The Trump campaign highlights a number of factors as to why assessments like that are wrong. They express general skepticism of the polls, especially surveys that do not provide the party identification of respondents or crosstabs with specific demographic information.

They also suggest that some of the voters who will back the president are not being picked up properly by pollsters, perhaps because they are newly registered, or are less inclined to declare their support.

Trump’s campaign manager, Bill Stepien, has noted how heavily the president’s 2016 victory rested on rolling up huge margins in the least populous counties of key swing states.

GOP pollster David Winston said that, even with Election Day so close at hand, it is important to be circumspect given the overall political landscape.

“In terms of COVID, the economy with things shut down, and the social unrest, there is a very volatile environment,” Winston noted.

Winston also took issue with the description of Biden as the “favorite” to win the election, noting that polls are snapshots of one moment of time, not a predictor of what could happen three weeks later.

“Biden at this point has the clear advantage, but that is different from the ‘favorite.’ You have one more debate. There are other things that can occur,” he said.

But with just three weeks to go, time is running out for Trump.

The president’s main hope, for now, is that the polls are wrong.

If, instead they are accurate — or even underestimating Democratic support, as was the case in 2012 — Trump is on course for a crushing defeat.

The Hill

Just a look at the polls spells DOOM for Trump

This is my advice to y'all Cultists! Your Grandmaster is losing in a landslide. STOP BEING A**LICKERS. Now, here is the truth, as much as you don't believe in polls (cos your Master found them useless) 2016 ain't 2020, also, Clinton ain't Biden. It's obvious this is beyond DAMAGE CONTROL. Nov 3rd is ARMAGEDDON!

If your Grandmaster ain't scared right now, why did he get back to the campaign trails so fast? If he is what he claims to be "THE BEST PRESIDENT'', why can't him sit comfortably and recover and let the campaign run itself since he'd done well for Americans?

Remember: When he goes down, he pulls the whole GOP with him. I pity Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham...political careers on deathbed already..Nov 3rd the Funeral

Zuorom:
Libtards!! Stop being such dumb ignoramuses, Trump was nominated for the 2021 nobel peace prize not 2020.

And you think he's going to win? Don't be a jejune, man! common sense applicable at least.. Being a cultist doesn't stop your sanity!

Trumptards! Y'all think Ur god deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, right? Why didn't he win? Joe Biden, Obama or Clinton blockade his chances? BlueByrd was bragging effortlessly... Come defend the Mad Man of White House.

PrideofLincoln1:
Trump and Melania tested positive for Trumpvirus, the Chicken is surely coming home to roost. Both grifters will be in quarantine for the next 14 days. Couldn't happen to better couple. There's truly God doing justice to the inept and worthless President. This akin to God sending Moses to Pharaoh telling Pharaoh, LET MY PEOPLE GO. Good news for lovers of Peace, Justice and Equality.

PrideofLincoln, what's going to be in Trump's head right now? Nemesis or Witch hunt or Far Left propaganda or Hoax too? This shii is gonna make him lose more voters because Americans can't trust him to save them rather put their lives in danger

Twitter on fire right now!

This is it! He never believed the virus was something serious thereby jeopardizing the lives of his cults and Americans. Look at his rallies and those huge crowds? November is next month, do justice to this shii

Pres. Trump tested positive to Covid-19

That Orange maniac virus hoax now reality....I hope he feels he shii Americans go through now

kophschmerzenii:
Seg or something in that line.

I had a concise argument with him this morning. Come to think of it, folks, why would you support a mentally deranged criminal-president, who basically has a slowpoke but relaxed version of himself in Aso Rock, of which Sega have been criticising all these while... Does it make sense? I believe he is conservative but as he claims of his broad intelligence in governance and human right issues, can't he see the damages done to the best democracy in the world by a Tax Evader?

Nigeria's Trump Supporters are simply stupid... YabaLeft indeed

JuwonBobo:
Peeps, Biden really showed class and intelligence right there! That man scared Mr Trump. Gosh!!

Trump needs to do his homework well before the next 2 debates. I love that Biden's quote "You picked on the wrong guy" Biden ain't Clinton

Peeps, Biden really showed class and intelligence right there! That man scared Mr Trump. Gosh!!

JuwonBobo:
Vice President Joe Biden & Senator Kamala Harris just released their 2019 tax records ahead of the First Presidential Debate.

Mr Trump should do the same since he's always the first to challenge Biden. When he loses Nov 3rd, before he cries foul, he should be in the best position to know he killed his political career...

PremierGuy:
Former Trump Campaign Manager, Brad Parscale barricaded himself while armed in his Fort Lauderdale home and threatened to harm himself. He has since been taken to the hospital and held under the Baker Act which is the Florida equivalent of a psychiatric hold.

Mr Trump is driving his Con Men crazy already! Lol....

I said it before, starting from Breonna Taylor and George Floyd protests and unrests, of which Trump couldn't put under control, and most importantly, mind his speeches, actions and loopholes (skeletons in his cupboards, he's got a lot) till Nov 4th, He's gonna lose the election. But it's apparent, he keeps blabbing much especially lies and false allegations. Hmmm....Let him get off Twitter and sit cool; maybe a lot will change (I don't hope so)

In 2016, he actually came to dumb Americans as a savior. Obama was seen in a different light by fools even after he did lot of corrections of Bush Administration's mistakes y'all know that? Fine, Trump election came as a surprise because Clinton got caught up and made Democrats look stupid, the price was paid and in a bad way. This time, Biden ain't Clinton. This is a man with over 47 years in public service..he'd done a lot (Before you criticise him of doing nothing those years, remember, he cannot be responsible for total government failures; the principle of absolute majority prevails) but in clear comparison with Mr Evader, who in just 4 years already wreck havoc but ain't beyond damage control. So in a nutshell, Nov 3, 2020 is a time of redemption and transformation. I don't really clamor for a Bluewave, but a sane government..


Thank you

But why was Trump hiding his tax records in the first place, if he knew there's nothing incriminating about it? During his 2016 run, he promised to do that before Nov 3. Lo and behold, it's Four years gone!! And we back to his old common line again! Every American now knows the truth and all these in Election Year??!! He's got lot of loopholes in his campaign this time and no hiding place too. And y'all Trumptards, y'all know your idol, right? If he was on the right side, Twitter right now would be on fire with you guys bringing him gas to fuel it, right? Now he only replied with FAKE NEWS?!! All that allegations against him and just a short reply? He knew what he did. The White House ain't a refuge camp. His biggest undoing was to announce his reelection campaign. He could have left when the ovation was loud (criticism sef).

It's a kinda mixture of joke and anger to me when I see them aggressively defending Mr Tax Evader. Yes, I admit I am based in Nigeria, Lagos to be precise. Never stepped my foot outside Mother Africa(before 'em Trumptards say i focus of Buhari and Corruption blah blah blah!) but I am sane to tell the difference between right and wrong. No human is perfect, sure! Biden, Trump, Pelosi, McConnell etc all of 'em but there is a spot on to be fair here. Trump is not that man to look up to or defend when it comes to being honest or accurate, he's gonna blow things all up. America is a great nation and things I love most about her incl. the diversity and economic buoyancy. Let not allow an egoistic personality act like Hitler, whom America saw to his end. We don't have to resurrect that character again. Make Nov. 3rd a turning point. It's another chance, people.


My opinion

sexylassie2:
Riding fast does not mean he knows where he is going to.

He needed someone to led the way, i guess soon he will need a guide dog

C'mon Sis! Just read this yourself, i mean repeatedly, and tell me if you made sense...Lemme tell you something, Trump doesn't give a 4k about you guys... He is self centered. Don't be blindfolded and ignorant. When he loses, he's gone forever and what is left of you Trumptards? Nada....Think, please... Still got lot of time to do shii

To y'all Trump goons, I need to ask few questions: Are you really Republicans? Have you made substantial researches how the GOP came to be and what it stands for? Cos if y'all know these or more, you'd know Donald 'Jim Crow' Trump doesn't represent its ideologies but a Mussolini-loving type of guy. Y'all know Lincoln? Ulysses Grant? Rutherford Hayes? etc, these are men that made GOP attractive to the Black community..and don't lemme remind y'all the GOP had black men elected to Congress... I'd better recommend Wikipedia to educate yourselves. But believe me, a lot has changed, all needed is a sane environment where abilities and ideas can thrive across party lines. Trump is not a man to make that happen cos obviously, we've all seen what his administration style looks like over 4 years. Now tell me, would y'all want America as great as it is to crumble when a person like Biden and definitely more qualified people can take over? C'mon see reasons now..Reflect!

Thank you

I think it's high time Trump supporters accept reality he's going to lose! C'mon! See the handwriting on the wall! Look at the polls, I know lot of y'all would say it's irrelevant in 2016 and it still won't..this is 2020! A lot has changed. Even Trump knows this, that why he never gave a straight answer if he's gonna allow peaceful transition. Of course, no man is perfect, Joe Biden is gonna do what Trump ain't capable of (positively). Now this is the deal: Nov 3rd is about power changing hands and I would implore Democrats not to embrace revenge but move America towards transformation. God bless

Hmmm.....Orishirisi!!! Trump? For Nobel Peace Prize? How that take fit am?

For this world wey better people dey? I respect the Nobel Committee a lot and it's going to be a big disappointment if he's awarded...

Weirdo...lol
