Don’t believe the hype. VOTE.
Yeah they said the same thing about Hillary. Gotta get those EC votes
Gotta abolish that fuckin’ thing, frankly. 🫣
Requires constitutional amendment. You know what doesn’t? Getting rid of the Reapportionment Act. Expanding the House by a considerable margin will bring back a more fair EC.
you know what else doesn’t? bringing in puerto rico, guam and american samoa. they are citizens, they should have a real say.
Here’s hoping something works.
That’ll just create more things to gerrymander.
Never seen a president win by a poll. Must be a new European thing?
An election is basically just polling everyone.
Yes but with a legal backing.
This sounds like a fundraising headline only.
It was immediately followed by, “…but if you donate just $5 by our deadline today at 3pm, you’ll be added to our list of Premium Gold tier Platinum Donors, and Trump promises he’ll say thank you.”
I’ve been told trump didn’t see my name on a list so many times I swear jd vance is secretly an elf.
What a bullshit, clickbait headline. The actual story is at the end:
Baris claimed that conservative polls showed that Trump was tied or had a “believable” edge against Harris.
“And when you look at the track records of the pollsters in those two courts, right in those two camps, really, you know the ones who are showing the tighter race with Trump with an advantage, have better track records,” he insisted.
He’s not saying her numbers are “unbelievable” as in, “holy shit that’s awesome!” He’s saying they’re literally unbelievable, as in, “I don’t believe that’s real.”
Indeed. Today’s nyt poll has trump ahead in some battleground states. No time for complacency.
I was going to say, I’m sure they would find a 0.1% lead unbelievable.
Not quite a Karl Rove reaction, but similar. “These numbers can’t be right, it’s not the numbers we paid to get.”
Electoral College is biased towards Trump (or any candidate popular in red states which get more representation per capita). These polls mean nothing.
Vote vote vote.
Problem: She’s not, she’s really really not. The EC race, you know, the only one that actually COUNTS, looks like it will be a squeaker.
No she’s not. In fact, no one is voting for her. Absolutely no one.
But if YOU vote for her, she just might win. You’re the only one whose vote you can control, so go vote.
Meanwhile, NY Times:
Is that seriously what they’re saying? Man they’re out of touch!
The chart is unreadable.
are they using < as the opposite of +? does this make sense to anyone else?
why?
“On the one side, you have the one school that is showing Harris with a lead but leading by unbelievable numbers, Peter,” he said. “That’s a fact, you know. […] And then really an edge that is not — is never going to materialize.” Baris claimed that conservative polls showed that Trump was tied or had a “believable” edge against Harris. “And when you look at the track records of the pollsters in those two courts, right in those two camps, really, you know the ones who are showing the tighter race with Trump with an advantage, have better track records,” he insisted.
So when he says “that’s a fact”, he’s trying to say it’s a lie.
They’re trying to suppress Dem turnout.
MAGA pollsters try to scare MAGA voters into voting.
Or convince Harris voters that it’s a done deal. It’s not done until all the votes are in. No matter what polls say.
