User ID: 70866561 United States 10/16/2020 12:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fox news poll has trump way behind. Are you guys forgetting the blue tidal wave in 2018? How easy we forget. Oh, you mean that blue tidal wave where like 5 house representatives in Orange County on election night were all republicans winning, and then the new ballot harvesting in California flipped all 5 to Democrat wins after bunches of ballots voting all democrat were “found” after and counted? And you wonder why no one trusts the voting process in 2020. I thought it was a red wave? I read it here: Thread: Red Wave thread! Historic Election day updates! Early results coming in! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49684097 United States 10/16/2020 12:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Assuming it is incorrect, it seems awfully counter-productive, doesn't it? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79187900 Biden voters will see they have a, what, 90%-something chance of winning, right? So on election day they might think "Fuck it, we're already winning by a factor of ten so if I sleep in and don't vote there's still bazillions more votes than Biden needs to win so I don't need to waste my time voting." Conversly, Trump voters will see "Oh shit, we need to get every single vote we can to have even a 1% chance of winning one state! I will make sure I cast my vote - I will also be sure to tell all of my fellow Trumpers to vote and that I will punch them if I find out they didn't vote." TLDR; It tells Biden voters that they're going to win no matter what so if they feel too lazy to vote that's okay - they're going to win anyway. It also tells Trump voters that the only way they're going to win is if every single one of them gets their vote in there and convinces people who otherwise wouldn't vote at all/wouldn't have voted for Trump to vote for Trump. So if it's actually a conscious strategy on the leftists' part, it's a damn stupid one. Normally I would agree with you, but so many democrats were shocked that Clinton lost in 2016 that they are not willing to be complacent this time around. There is already a strong surge in democrats voting early, and there is enthusiasm to get Trump out of office. Note that I didn't say enthusiasm to vote for Biden. Ultimately the national polls in 2016 were right on the money when it came to the popular vote, but there were mistakes made in state-by-state polling. Many pollsters have changed their polling to attempt to correct those mistakes this year. |

The IBD/TIPP Poll was one of only two election polls credited with predicting President Trump's 2016 victory. TIPP, IBD's polling partner, succeeded in picking up on the greater enthusiasm among Republicans for their candidate. Since the IBD/TIPP 2020 Presidential Election Tracking Poll launched on Monday, Oct. 12, Biden's support has dipped from 51.9% to 48.7% in a four-way race. Trump poll numbers have been relatively stationary. Still, Trump has reached a new high-water mark Friday with 43.5% support, after slipping as low as 42.3%. Support for third-party and other candidates has climbed, as has the share of undecided voters. Meanwhile, more voters are declining to say whom they support. |

OP, why are you asking questions about their legitimacy, especially after the polls in 2016 said Hillary had a 96% chance of winning? |
