What do you think the Popular Vote margin be this November?

[Polybius]

Yes, I know the Popular Vote is meaningless in this country, but I'm curious to know what everyone is thinking. Basically tied? A difference of 5 points? 10?

1. Not sure percentage wise but I'd guess 7-10 million votes.

3. I think 2020 was a record that won't be repeated for awhile.

The entire country was shut down basically. Not as many distractions. I’m thinking it will be 2-5 million and the numbers go back to pre Covid.

2. Two people here think that Trump wins by over 10%?

[jimfields33]

4. I think they were joking. I took it that way anyway.

[Polybius]

5. Perhaps

I took it like the 2000 election. Accidental vote a/la hanging chad.

[jimfields33]

7. That's a very big possibility as well.

[Polybius]

14. I was talking to a poster in another thread about this

He thinks Biden wins by 20. I think it'll be within a couple of points.

6. Trump will claim he won by the greatest margin in history even if he loses by 80%.

You know, "FAKE NEWS!" "FOREIGN INTERFERENCE!" "DEEP STATE!" "DEAD PEOPLE VOTED" "BIDEN IS GETTING PAID BY CASTRO!"

'SEND ME MORE MONEY!!"

8. To the 38% who said that Biden will win by 10%, do you honestly believe that?

Or did you accidently misread the OP? It's not what you want to happen, but what you think will happen.

[Butterflylady]

11. Yes.

[Polybius]

12. How could you possibly believe something like that?

10+? Obama and Clinton never even came close to that, and they were generational candidates.

9. I';d like someone who voted "Biden +10" to explain the basis for that choice.

Biden's campaign manager has told me personally that the race will be very close.

[Polybius]

10. For sure

So far, no one's explained.

16. Performative optimism. Magical thinking.

Some people seem to believe we can positive-think our way to victory. The only amount of positive thinking needed, however, is just enough to keep working to win the election without giving up.

[Polybius]

13. Kick

[maxsolomon]

15. Razor thin margins as usual

with 1/3 of voters sitting it out.

I've been trying to hold off this conclusion for decades: the majority of American adults are either f-ing lazy or f-ing stupid, and often both.

[Polybius]

17. I agree

It's gonna be extremely tight.
