IE it usually gives Trump a higher approval rating than most polls. Uh, yeah, and Trump is not winning the black community. Perhaps Kenny meant he may do better than typical Republican candidates, I don't know, but yeah, black people are the most reliable voting bloc for Democrats.

It didn't in 2016. The question is will it go to Biden or stay home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 481 Posted June 9, 2020 Biden now to -130 as the favorite. Also, just for some context, Trump won 8% of the black vote in the 2016 election. And his press secretary touted that as an accomplishment earlier today. She also lied about Romney getting 2% of the black vote in 2012; he got 6%, or 2% less than Trump did.

The Great Cornholio 902 Posted June 9, 2020 I reckon Trump will get a larger portion of the black vote due to the #WalkAway movement that's been happening in the last few years. I reckon the 8-9% will double IMO, obviously still no where near winning the black vote of course 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't say it wasn't possible to maybe get more than 8%, but 16%? Look, if it happens, congrats for getting a far-out prediction right.

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted June 9, 2020 Just heard that Donald Trump is hoping to start doing mass rallies again next week.I suppose the Democrats can't say he's not able to in the middle of a pandemic after we've had 2 weeks of mass protests from Black Lives Matters, to be fair. Should give him a big boost though ! You can tell he's hated not to be able to campaign properly ! Joe Biden will have to start doing them as well of course or risk falling behind in the polls.

Also the stock markets are back up to their pre covid levels and rising. The USA could look an amazingly successful, prosperous place in November ! Unless covid has a 2nd spike of course ...

There’s a bit of a problem with that. I think a lot of the people who ended up not voting for any candidate don’t do it because the system doesn’t work. And what if there’s a candidate who shows who they actually feel they represent them for once? You can have your opinions on whether they should vote for one candidate or another, but I really despise the voter shaming that occurs just because they don’t vote one way this time. Let people decide who they want to vote and respect their choice, even if you disagree with that choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough.of course they can vote for whoever they want.Some of them might even vote Trump.But if they want real change only a vote for Biden seems likely to bring that about ..

I don't know about that. Is Trump really capable of doing anything other than playing to his base? Biden is up by 14 points in both CNN and Fox News' latest polls. Now, granted, the lead will come down from that, and I'm sure he could get a little bump from the rallies, but for an incumbent, Trump is in a horrific position right now. Doesn't mean the race is over, mind you. But he has a lot of work to do. At least 175-200K Americans are going to be dead of COVID-19 by Election Day, most of them older people, and it's hurt him a bunch among voters 65 and older, particularly in Florida. And since Biden isn't a woman like Hillary was, more white Independents will be able to stomach voting for a Democrat who is a white guy. Again, it's not over, a lot can still happen, but Trump has a lot of work to do at this point. He's lucky it's not just a straight popular vote here because he would have absolutely zero chance of winning that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 481 Posted June 12, 2020 The Economist is pretty bullish about Biden's chances. Of particular interest is that they consider Florida as "likely" for Biden right now, as opposed to "uncertain." If Trump doesn't win Florida, realistically he has no path to winning the election. That's a must-state for him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrWonderful 481 Posted June 22, 2020 It wasn't a good weekend for Trump. There was the much-hyped rally which turned out to be poorly-attended, the awful speech where he spent 15 minutes talking about the water and ramp "incidents" from his West Point visit a few days prior (not to mention calling the coronavirus the "kung flu"), and the Bolton interview on Sunday night. And now on Monday morning, Biden has taken his biggest lead of the campaign in betting markets, at -140. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
