Whether you believe the polls or not....

There is ZERO time for complacency

This is the battle for the soul of our nation and nothing - absolutely nothing - should be taken for granted. A huge swath will vote for the insurrectionist…and a few ten thousand folks in swing states will decide the fate of the American experiment

With just two days before former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris meet for their first in-person clash — a debate on ABC News on Tuesday — both candidates are off the campaign trail on Sunday. Ms. Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, will campaign in Pennsylvania, while Mr. Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, will head to a fund-raiser in Los Angeles.

As the debate looms, a new poll released on Sunday showed Mr. Trump and Ms. Harris entering the campaign’s homestretch in a tight race. Mr. Trump is retaining his support and Ms. Harris faces a sizable share of voters who still say they need to know more about her, according to a national poll of likely voters by The New York Times and Siena College.

convicted rapist, a convicted felon, a con man who lies constantly, a businessman with 6 bankruptcies, rapid onset dementia and a serial sexual predator among other faults. The race is “close,” what we should be asking is WTF is wrong with The SlobFathers supporters?

I don't think it's nearly as close as corporate media is making it out to be.

They want a close race so we keep clicking headlines on the internet and watching turncoat MSNBC and turncoat CNN.

Poll results are all about defining a likely voter, who they choose to sample, etc.

For a lot of the pollsters, I think that is all shaded to make Trump look more competitive. Otherwise, we aren't worried about it and stop watching the news obsessively.

We do, however, need to vote like we are 5 points behind.

We do need to reach out to neighbors and family to get them to vote.

The maga zombies are all going to exit their caves stumble down to the polls on November 5 and vote.

We have to outvote them.
