    Why did the poles get it so wrong does anyone think?

    trump supporters can get heavily lambasted so maybe they didnt answer truthfully. 1 of a myriad of reasons i suppose

    Democrats more empathetic and thus, more likely to entertain opinion polls?

    They set up a country between the Germans and the Ruskies. That was a recipe for disaster.

    If Biden can win it today without needing Pennsylvania it will be best for everyone because PA will take a few days to sort and it will just rumble and rumble. Trump's nonsense will be a lot less effective if PA isn't in play.

    Why are you still talking about the polls? It's the votes that matter now.
    Oh maybe to highlight the fact they are utterly useless and are sometimes used as a propaganda tool?

    Leave the poor Poles alone - they had nothing to do with this.

    It turns out a significant amount of black and other minorities in America wither aren't bothered by racial equality or believe Trump isn't as bad as he is made out to be.

    Trump has been good for blacks. People presume black people aren't smart for some reason and can't see through the media BS about the President, they can and realize he's doing an outstanding job.

    Also the majority of blacks aren't interested in the Democrats defund the police message. They want security not anarchy

    Wisconsin looks to be sealed by Biden.

    Trump is leading in many counties wth low % results but Biden is leading in the high population areas and will likely drown out the lower population.

    But WI "only" has 10 EC votes. PA has 20 and GA has 16, and Trump is leading in both those areas. I don't know how Biden will do it if Trump takes PA and GA?

    He lost in the Supreme Court just last week on Pennsylvania - "his" Supreme Court. The AG can't overrule the Supreme Court. It came as a shock to Trump that the judges on the Court actually upheld the law and didn't pull a stroke for him.

    It sort of dumps the scweaming and scweaming over the court, doesn't it?

    Amazing that he managed to keep an 8 year bull market and booming economy going for another couple of years.

    The market has gone to record levels by some distance looking at any of the indices under his presidency to be fair and that's held up through a global pandemic. I'm no Trump fan but that's a fact.

    Good man.
    Pieta is a great charity so I was always going to donate anyway. I worked with them at a charity event (providing tech support as I work in that field) in 2017.

    You understand right that ahead means nothing at the moment because the blocks of votes depending on where they came from swing heavily in one direction?

    Kickbacks from fund raising. Money likes to back winners, when the polls show your party ahead the money rolls in from donors. You will notice as they get closer to the election the results always tighten so they have cover to run the schemes again.

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    Biden has already smashed the "landslide Trump win" that Trump predicted and is still claiming.

    Trump will find those justices have no loyalty to him. They have a lifetime appointment. They'll rule on the law albeit with their own interpretation but they won't pull a stroke for him. The legacy of Supreme Court justices is hugely important and none of them, including Coney Barrett, would want their legacy smeared by accusations of doing favours for Trump.

    Its safe to say Biden has turned the tide,
    Obviously he has not won anything yet but its looking likely,

    Been a lot close than anyone thought which is a bad thing , a very clear win for either side would have been the best outcome ,

    The polls were always reliant on the Ned Flanders Democrat and the ‘Gonna git me my guns’ Republicans. There are more Ned Flanders willing to take calls and filling in tedious internet polls.

    When has anyone predicted a landslide trump win... everyone here (leaning trump) and some braver polsters all predicted a very slight win for him.. which looks to be happening

    Haven't markets been supported by record borrowing and quantative easing though?

    If Biden wins Wisconsin and Michigan it looks like he won't need Pennsylvania or Georgia.
