1. jUST SAW THAT --holy crap, DAM BURST

[North Shore Chicago]

2. Good news!

[Norbert]

3. Joe-mentum

Whatever undecideds that were left seemed to broke for Joe.

November 3rd can't get here fast enough.

[sunonmars]

4. look at this detail.....The covid infection seems to have made things worse for Trump electorally.

Link to tweet

CNN poll:

60% disapprove of Trump's handling of Covid (new high)
63% say his own infection will not change how he handles virus
72% say Trump has acted irresponsibly on Covid

Do you trust information on Trump's health:
69% no
12% yes

19. . . .

[WinstonSmith4740]

44. Wow...haven't heard this one in years!

For the young 'uns here.

[Roy Rolling]

45. I just happened to be watching one night...

Country Joe and the Fish were on for the first time. After they finished performing, I don’t think there were applause, the audience was stunned.

[calimary]

46. Ahhh... a classic!

[llmart]

49. +1000

Oh boy, we had the best music back in the day!

[WinstonSmith4740]

54. Didn't we though?

I'm a teacher, and a few years back I told my kids I wanted them to go into their parents' and grandparents' music collection, choose something sight unseen, listen to it, and let me know what they thought. I couldn't believe some of the reports I got. "It was so nice to listen to music about love and peace, instead of making money, doing drugs, and having sex", "I actually sat down and TALKED to my mom!" It was awesome. And believe it or not, (when we're on campus) you can't walk 10 feet without running into a kid who's wearing a Beatles or Stones t-shirt. Got a kid right now who considers Bowie a god.

The kids are fine...here's another walk down memory lane.

[llmart]

56. I still listen to it.

There are days I just want to wallow in nostalgia, so I go to Spotify and queue up a bunch of '60s music.

[WinstonSmith4740]

52. Did you catch what happened to that demographic right after the debates?

I think Joe went from a 5-6 point edge to something like 25. It was a thing of beauty.

"Seniors" is my demographic. We've been there, done that. We've lived through history, and know first hand this just ain't normal! I had to force myself to watch that entire "debate" debacle. We've seen a power mad president pulled down, and know it would only take a handful of Republicans to get it done now, but they're all fucking cowards.

Democrats pissed me off royally when they refused to show a spine and used to let Obama twist in the wind when the "tea party" idiots took over town halls. But seriously...I swear if you took all the vertebrae out of every Republican in office today, you couldn't construct one spinal column.

[malaise]

7. ByeDon!

You murderous MoFo!

[Hokie]

8. That's two polls with double digit leads for Joe Biden

NBC/WSJ was 14 points.

[Amishman]

23. Yup, hope swing state polls start to pull away too

So far they've just been churning in the same ranges for two months. Would be nice to see breakout there too.

[MyOwnPeace]

48. THESE are the important ones........

the SWING STATES!

Hillary WON the popular vote by 3 million, yet lost - because of the archaic Electoral College and what the SWING STATES did to dictate that loss.

We NEED several of the SWING STATES to be sure that it's gonna' be "BYE-DON!"

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!

GO, JOE!!!!!

[Johnny2X2X]

36. 4!

Two other Polls were Joe +10. Actually more as the USC/Dornlife daily polls have all moved to Biden +10-12.

Composite is Joe +8.8, that could be moving another point higher in the next day or two as a lot of polls are due out.

[Le Roi de Pot]

9. Trump campaign's bottom..... Meet floor

[Le Roi de Pot]

11. I don't want Trump defeated .. I want him utterly destroyed ..I want the Republicans to

be Decimated.... Ripped to shreds ..I want big name Republican Senators to go down in flames and join the Ash heap of history ..where they will forever remembered as Craven suckers of Donald Trump's Balls that they got on a loan from Vladimir Putin.



I don't want Trump defeated..I want Trumpism defeated.

[uponit7771]

31. AMEN!!

[calimary]

53. AMEN!!!

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. I have a theory about "undecideds".

A significant % of them really don't understand/care about the issues. They just want to vote for who they perceive as being the eventual winner. As we get closer to election day, these people break for the candidate in the lead.

[DarthDem]

24. I like your theory

I think it may just be correct.

[gristy]

26. Yes, spot on.

[Johnny2X2X]

37. A lot of people just don't pay attention

Sit down in any bar in a blue collar area and politics is taboo or even explicitly forbidden as a subject of discussion. There's a good portion of society that doesn't pay attention at all until the debates. They've spent 4 years ignoring Trump completely. Sure, they'd probably heard some things, but were just brushing it off as political talk. Then they saw with their own eyes he's worse than everyone says.

Of course, there's also a third of the country who won't vote next Month.

[WinstonSmith4740]

47. I think you're right.

How somebody can be "undecided" at this point, with this lunatic in charge, is totally beyond me. I also think they say they're undecided because those are the people that get face time on TV with reporters, and the ones everyone wants to hear from after debates.

[Norbert]

13. Exactly

Seeing how lopsided it is becoming Joe may now start to get the 'I'm going to go with the winner' vote.

[Le Roi de Pot]

15. And since many Trump voters are planning to vote in person..

They may just not bother showing up.

[sunonmars]

16. He does have a big soft vote that can peel off easily if they think he's doomed.

[Captain Zero]

32. This exactly. A rush to the exits in a theater fire.

Also a bandwagon effect. Remember how when the Superbowl rolls around people in Indianapolis and Kansas City line up to buy a Patriots jersey, for example

[livetohike]

17. Trump will be back in the hospital once he sees this.

He should concede now to avoid further humiliation.

[Buckeyeblue]

18. We've speculated on here about Trump's true base being about 35%

So in theory, if this poll (and the NBC poll) are right, Trump is getting closer to that number.

The big problem right now is that Trump is on these high powered steroids that have made him crazier than normal. So no one can get to him and say, hey we need to pivot so that we lose with grace. If that's even possible with Trump. It may not be. Unless Ivanka could appeal to him.

[LuvLoogie]

22. Ivanka may be enabling his chaotic thrashings

to likewise stay out of jail

[Maxheader]

20. after Kamala sends mikey home crying....

It'll go up a few more points....

[Silent3]

21. Wow, it's great to know that NBC poll wasn't just a fluke! n/t

[DarthDem]

25. Great news.

And logical news.

[Brainfodder]

27. More upset that 41% could still be fooled and/or are that morally bankrupt themselves?

Which famous fool among this group of new C-19 recipients is going to visit Herman Cain first?

Still too many sheeple!

[TwilightZone]

28. Those are Reagan/Mondale numbers.

Of course, it won't translate to a near-50-state win, but it will ensure that the swing states all go to Biden and perhaps a few unexpected ones.

[uponit7771]

29. Whoa !!! This is the THIRD poll with Biden in the teens and a likely voter poll at that.

[David__77]

30. I hope that people will not think it's a done deal by any means.

Every single vote will be important. A national repudiation is needed. It is an anti-fascist mobilization.

[Captain Zero]

33. We are piling on with our absentees in the mail

Today

[David__77]

35. I think that's true, I just hope there's no complacency.

This is certainly the first time in my life that I am super eager to turn in ballot as soon as I possibly can. I know that it was mailed to me yesterday. Three votes in my family will be turned in very quickly!

[llmart]

51. I turned my ballot in yesterday.

It felt so good to choose straight Dem ticket! Wasn't much to think about on that one. I would no more vote for a Republican these days than I would try to do a cartwheel in my front yard for all the neighbors to see. Trust me - that would be an ugly sight.

Go Joe! And every last Dem on ballots.

[MyOwnPeace]

50. The win margin needs to be BIG!!!!

That will negate any and all BS that BunkerBoy tries to steal the election. A landslide vote will negate any of the tricks and vote stealing that the RepubliCons plan to do!

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!

GO, JOE!!!!!!!!!

[Captain Zero]

34. All early votes this week & next will reflect THIS

It's all over for the Orange Corona and downhill more the three weeks after that and on election day.

VOTE !

[durablend]

38. Meanwhile

In another CNN story, they're claiming Pennsylvania likely will vote for Trump again (judging by the amount of litter along the roads and on people's lawns I'm not sure I disagree)

[spanone]

39. 41% of the country suffers from severe mental illness

[Johnny2X2X]

40. This Poll was 51-43 (Aug 28 -Sept 1)

So Trump did drop 2 points, Biden picked up those 2 and added another 4 of the undecideds.

[UncleNoel]

41. Just been lurking for a long while, but this deserves a real Whoopee!

New IOLs in both eyes, one leg metalized (osteoarthritis). but DU has been my window to this bizarre year. The polls are ticking up with Trump dropping below 40 at times and Biden keeping above 50 with double digit leads.

Looks like a landslide. However, like others, so worried about gestapo Trump's efforts to win no matter what the vote says.

[Happy Hoosier]

42. The final straw?

Let’s hope so.

[Music Man]

43. Please, oh please, let it be true.

[Johnny2X2X]

55. This very well could be the final result

The Green and Libertarian candidates are going to get about 1 point each, but even that point won't be in the swing states as in closer states fewer will vote 3rd party.

What happens in the next 4 weeks could cement a landslide. Work harder than ever! Throw this monster out! Donate donate donate!!!

[honest.abe]

57. Wow! I believe that is outside the MOE!

Keep the heat on. When your opponent is drowning throw him an anvil!
