Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[gonetomorrow]

It's too close to call, apparently. Kamala has had a bad couple of weeks due to a poor showing on telly regarding border security and the economy. I can't say I've ever heard Trump laying out detailed economic strategy but he seems to get away with everything, including not putting his medical records up for scrutiny.

I hate that I can believe this. That this is where we are.

WTF is a right wing poll?

She's daft as a brush.

I will say some of the betting and movement In the prices looks at ‘odds ‘ with how close things appear to be and various reporting

Are you serious?

I think Kamala is making a good decision to interview on Fox and potentially Joe Rogan; if she can smash those interviews, it's going to put her in a good position; JRE would have a massive audience, too.

The Trump Bloomberg interview was a trainwreck, but I can already see a load of sound bites that will likely go viral from it and rally his base more. I guess it's just how social media is these days, who can have those viral 30-60-second clips...

 

[davek]

Yes.

What is the source that makes it right wing?

 

[RAFUH]

First day of voting for me is Thursday!

The man can't put two sentences together (it's just one long one). It doesn't matter how poor his showing is.

Two things about his base.

1. They can’t be rallied more. They were ALWAYS going to turn up and vote for him.

2. They aren’t enough to win the election on their own. He has to persuade some people in the middle.

Or Democrats and Independents to stay home.

Yes.

If you are asking about whether polling firms themselves can be politically biased, the answer is yes. And it is strategic to released biased polls as this influences voter turnout--people are less likely to vote for their candidate if their candidate is predicted to lose badly.
Here is an article on this: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/us/politics/polling-election-2022-red-wave.html

And also look at the "Trafalgar group" wikipedia page. And also "American Greatness" produces laughably biased polls.
Simon Rosenberg's substack is also good for learning more about biased polls.

 

[WA Toffee]

so who is winning this thing? seriously.

Isn't it a sad indictment of America that we even have to ask?

Jesus that Trump Bloomberg interview. Absolute train wreck.
