    Polls don’t mean shit until right before an election…and even then they’re suspect.

      They’re still talking about his rigged 2020 was rigged.

      Trump wanted investigations into 2016, and he won!

      100% 2024… RIGGED!

        Yes, they’ll say it was rigged no matter what. What matters is who actually ends up in office on Jan. 20th.

        Their model showed that it was a VERY close race and Trump had a 1 in 4 chance of winning.

        That doesn’t mean “Clinton is guaranteed to win.” It means, it’s a 4 sided die roll, and Trump had a side.

          She had a bigger lead than mr 34 felonies has right now. I don’t really care what polls say because they’re a load of shit. VOTE. If everyone votes, we won’t have any republikkklowns in office.

          Yup, it was within the probability. What it shows is that a lot of people who voted for Trump didn’t say they were when polled.

            IMHO, it mostly shows that most people don’t actually understand statistics and polling.

            If you have two candidates that are neck and neck, and are split by a percent that is close to the margin of error, then things can go either way depending on who is able to turnout votes on Election Day.
