12. Interesting poll but we do not conduct a national election.

Nov 2019

We conduct 50 individual state elections. The last election was lost by precious few votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The Clinton margin of victory in California and the Trump margin in Mississippi were really irrelevant.

Conduct similar polls in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, and New Hampshire (swing states in 2016) and you will have my attention. I would be curious to see such a poll in Texas just to know if a purple Texas is a pipe dream.

I know, I know, the Electoral College is an undemocratic travesty but I am reasonably confident the 2020 election will be decided by the Electoral College.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Agree. And these numbers sound credible, no "funny" numbers. Hortensis Dec 2019 #17
