    Who is answering these polls though? I suspect it’s a lot of old people who have alienated their kids, and have plenty of time to answer their land lines, desperate to chat with someone about anything.

    I could be wrong, but when I get these calls and texts asking me who I’ll vote for or did I know senator Jeff Merkley worships thr devil and wears pink underwear or whatever, I never answer, I delete em and I suspect most other people do too.

    I think election is close as hell. Obviously I am voting for Trump but I think the Democrats screwed themselves by running Kamala.

    If they had wanted to win, they would have picked someone who leaned more right and was known.

    If Trump wins, the Democrats only have themselves to blame.

      This election is gonna be a weird one. Whoever wins will get at least 310 electoral college votes IMHO, but with narrow leads in those battleground states. So things on the electoral map will look way more lopsided than they should.

            Not sure why you think the winner will get 310. It could happen but I suspect this will be around the 270 range. Nobody is expecting anyone to wipe the board.
