Posts like the OP are of little use here. For starters the people who visit DU every day are obviously people like myself that are very interested in politics and fired up to get Caligula out of the White House before he destroys our country. Does anyone seriously think that anybody here is going to become so complacent over a poll that they don't bother to vote? That because things are looking kind of good we are going to slack off doing everything in our individual power to see this through? Really?
I think any possibility of anyone not taking the threat of Trump seriously or thinking he had no chance to win went out the window back in 2016. Of course we need to stay vigilant. But I believe malignant pessimism hurts us worse than a little exuberant optimism. People who believe they can win stay involved and try to.
