Fact is this election is a flat out toss up right now/Don't be fooled into complacency!! [View all]

Go to 538 latest polls.

If you scroll through, it's been a while since there's been a landslide margin for Joe in any key swing state.

Nate adds new state polls almost daily and they are universally literally showing all the states that will decide the electoral college are literally dead even tied or within the margin of error. Every little bit of activism you can muster would be wonderful right now to make this tossup race tilt more toward Biden.

Want proof? The 2 most recent polls of Minnesota show the race there a dead heat!

If this race was in the bag already, we'd be up big in MN, not tied.

Ignore the national polls and get back to work if you can peeps!

Huge K&R ... favorable polling never guarantees a win. Auggie Aug 2020 #11

You say it's a toss up but only cause of one state? Wanderlust988 Aug 2020 #12

Complacency did us in 4 years ago... Wounded Bear Aug 2020 #13

Yes, but for some the constant drone of the race is a toss up is a big negative Thekaspervote Aug 2020 #14

Exactly...you have to wonder why people post these sort of thread...such crap too. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #21

The argument that if the race is a toss up will dissuade people from voting does not apply, still_one Aug 2020 #34

no, that was Comey JI7 Aug 2020 #18

Complacency had nothing to do with it...Comey and the Green slime party with the Russian Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #22

I still don't know what the complacency thing is about. betsuni Aug 2020 #15

Some want Biden to win but not by a landslide...he was not their first choice you see. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #23

I don't know what the hell to think. betsuni Aug 2020 #29

Definitely a toss-up oswaldactedalone Aug 2020 #17

I for one am sick of hearing about the all powerful right which they are not. We won back the House Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #24

And just to be clear, this election is not a toss up...Biden leads in every poll. Facts are stubborn Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #25

And we have to factor in the margin of cheating. So yes. Definitely a toss up. Squinch Aug 2020 #19

No it is not...so sick of this sort of post which is demoralizing and actually Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #20

Not sure what you're talking about oswaldactedalone Aug 2020 #27

From the electoral college perspective this is very close and can go either way. still_one Aug 2020 #31

It isn't demoralizing LeftInTX Aug 2020 #41

Trashing. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #26

Probably a good idea for you!! USALiberal Aug 2020 #37

Yes, I don't need the sky is falling posts and after looking at the polls...without merit. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #38

LOL, sky is falling? I saw nothing close in the OP. Nice try! Reality! nt USALiberal Aug 2020 #39

The OP is right. Charlie Cook's electoral ratings in July demonstrate that still_one Aug 2020 #28

You are correct oswaldactedalone Aug 2020 #30

We are on the same page Oswald. still_one Aug 2020 #32
