Unless I'm misreading it, 22% are independent. I'd have to know the demographics of that group to have an educated guess on which way they're breaking. I still think Biden is going to sweep the Blue Wall and think it was a fluke Trump took them in 16. But maybe blue collar states are recognizing that the Democratic party abandoned them after Clinton in the 90s. You have to acknowledge that Pelosi and the squad aren't representative of the blue collar members that once were the entirety of the party. Used to be Republicans were portrayed as the elitists, but it's not GOP members dining with A Listers.
Oh shit, I totally overlooked that gray bar. That's bad graphic design. It should be yellow or green.

I can't attest for the underlying source, but if the claim is true, Wisconsin could indeed go for Trump again.
I believe it. It wasn't until Trump came along that this anti-early vote attitude emerged. The GOP has had the upper hand in early/absentee ballots for a long time. I've been trying to track down a story I read a couple months ago, but I can't find it. It was from Wisconsin, and talked about how many in the GOP there were worried about Trump's constant attacks on mail-in voting would suppress his own vote. I'll keep searching.
What's missing from that graphic above is the independent or no party affiliation. That is going toward the Dems, but isn't there.

Based upon 'tractor parades' I'd say trump has this locked up too. Same with Maga Hats. Only we don't vote for our president that way, and if you've seen early voting numbers, which heavily favor Biden, you'd say the eye test probably goes to Biden easily.
Enthusiasm matters.
Surely you see the enthusiasm is all about getting Trump the fuck outta here. Blacks and young people are voting in record numbers. We’re expected to have highest turnout in a century during a pandemic. The more people vote, the worse it is for Trump. And this is about as bad as could be expected. There’s a reason voter suppression is a constant GOP tactic.

Look at Biden rallies and don’t tell me it is because of Covid because they didn’t give a flying fuck about Covid during the marches or riots.
Narrator: It’s because of covid.
Ummm, but the Dems didn’t do fuck all to stop the BLM protests or the riots which also spread Covid. Why?
Because the DNC or Biden campaign didn’t organize them.
You wanna talk about grassroots movements. That’s what that was.

In 2016, the Cubs won the World Series days before Trump won. In 2020, Chicago’s last title hope with this election cycle is the Bears. Like Biden, they have been coasting by playing good defense. They can’t get anything going offensively—either one of them—but do they need to?
I’m cautiously optimistic on both fronts as I sit down to watch Monday Night Football.

No.
I still think Trump is going to win but anything can happen. We'll know early on election night which direction it's going. If we don't start seeing signs of a possible landslide, Biden is in trouble.
What momentum? There has been movement in both directions in multiple state and national polls of less than a point or a little more in the past week. He needs to make up a lot of ground a lot more quickly than that. This race has been stable all year, except for the spike after Trump’s disastrous first debate. If he can get back to that pre-debate level, he’s still way behind.

Where are you seeing this Hunter Biden stuff? Before I give credence to any claim that outrageous, I want evidence from a place where someone can be charged with libel and not be protected from the anonymity of 4chan or Reddit.
This is my question. Wall Street Journal pretty much refused the first story of the emails. And they are conservative.
The laptop apparently has been around since May 2019. Yes, it seems the Russians had their hands in it. Now some Chinese dude is leaking screenshots of stuff? Like you said James, why leak it piece by piece?
Almost half the votes are already in. The game-changer needed to happen like last week. I don’t buy it, and it seems even Fox News doesn’t either.
