covid is still strong, but at least most dems are vaxxed. that makes a big difference.

if i lived in va, i would be looking forward to showing up on tuesday w my middle finger held high.
i wouldnt be surprised if others are feeling that way.
i dont think everyone is dying keep using mail in or early voting forever. i like to be there on the day.

That statistician isn't their polling outfit, tho. Drunken Irishman Oct 2021 #40

Yeah, I realize that but I still can't trust anything associated with Fox Newz honest.abe Oct 2021 #26

FOX News' polling was off in 2020. Drunken Irishman Oct 2021 #39

Just hope the mailed ballots get counted (the 'DeJoy' effect). triron Oct 2021 #10

No doubt. honest.abe Oct 2021 #13

I am not sure if you've left the house at all but clearly it's a different vibe outside... Drunken Irishman Oct 2021 #41
