#3 Note to Jill, Marx is not a god. Go back and check the Book.

Thou shall not covet
Thou shall not bear false witness
Thou shall not steal

How are you going to run socialist in face of those laws? /rhet question

But Joe's candidacy is toast. The Good Lord has decided Joe's time is past.

#9 Latest polls show Biden regaininf double-digit lead over 2020 Dems AND crushing Trump.

I know a lot can happen in a year but that's not what toast looks to me.

#10 I doubt few tell the pollsters anything remotely like the truth. I don't, and take every opportunity to screw with them.

I live in a 97% Dem town, and I play with them. I put up a "Warren/Harris for President bumper sticker one week, a "Harris/Abrams for President" another week, and an "Abrams/Harris for President" a week later. They look real. They are real. They just aren't from the Dem party. Rinse and repeat.

One female asked me why I switched Harris/Abrams for Abrams/Harris (some people pay attention apparently) and I said I couldn't decide who should be on top. She laughed.

#11 One poll means little, but the average of many polls from serious pollsters usually proves to be quite accurate.

#12 That's wicked, Whiskey mike. ☺ Also the most intelligent thing to do. If everyone did that, imagine the look of horror at the actual results of elections on those beach tanned faces. Worse than 2016.

"WHAAT ?!"

Didn't happen last election when pretty much every poll said Trump would get his ass kicked.

To be fair, I understand the principle of what you are saying, but it relies on actual serious pollsters and not people trying to tip the playing field for their candidate. It may be different in Euro-land, but over here the pollsters tend to be quite partisan.

#15 but it relies on actual serious pollsters and not people trying to tip the playing field

Back when we still had a landline, I used to amuse myself during election season by explaining to the many, many pollsters who called (here in southwest Ohio we are considered a critical voting region), exactly how the questions they asked should have been worded to get an accurate answer from me... or at least supply one option that was true.

Polls rely on those questioned replying truthfully, and I think people no longer feel obliged to do so, especially when the questions reveal what answers the poll writers desire.

#16 SteveS, even in the US elections the numbers were quite accurate. They did get the popular vote right and most states.

I remember Hillary dropping in Michigan like a rock in the last days in the polls and I though hey this might be getting closer than I thought.

Remember how close things were in Michigan and Wisconsin. Polls can't come that close but they weren't off the mark.

Several pollsters have Biden around 30%. This isn't out of the blue. You bet both parties watch polls very closely. Bias doesn't work for long because if you are wrong you're out o business.

That said a lot can and will change in the next 12 months. I do think so that Biden has a solid base that won't erode easily.
