You can pretty much find a poll that says what you want to hear. I keep seeing posts her on DU from questionable posters, that always show the "negative" side for Democrats. I don't buy any of it. The only "number" that counts will be on Tuesday night when voters are done voting, and you are right we just need to get people out to vote and we will win.

for various reasons.

I agree with you. Sounds like they are coming out, too. The early voting numbers are pretty impressive across the country.

I keep hoping.

Whatever Trump may have gained in support over Jerusalem, is long gone.

11. He gained nothing from the Jewish vote. Over 80% of American Jews vote Democratic, though

his hate-filled rhetoric had a factor in the mass shooting, so you are right, that 20% who vote republican, even though number wise may not be much, might be affected, and every bit counts

It bears repeating: Polls. Don't. Vote. People do.

and

Bad politicians are elected by good people who don't vote.

12. A step further: If every eligible voter actually voted there would be NO Repuke in any office
