I'm just hoping there aren't that many racists to vote for Trump.

Well, he got 70 million racists to vote for him last time, so he'll probably get around the same number this year, too.

It just makes me more skeptical of that poll rather than anything else lol

I'm skeptical of most polls, to be honest. I hope they're correct, I hope Kamala Harris wins in a landslide in November, but I haven't been able to trust polls since 2016.

I agree, I remember polls on the night of the election having Hilary Clinton in the lead and she lost the electoral college, I have zero faith in polls.

It has to be a landslide because that man is not going to accept any result that isn't in his favor.

Hopefully it will be.

He loses NC and FL, it’s over for him. Period. Even if he wins one of the two, the math isn’t in his favor at that point.

Is there a possibility of Florida going Blue this year? I thought it was a deep Red State like Texas.

BTW, those of you here in the United States who have family members, friends or work colleagues who want to vote this year (but don’t have proper ID), I discovered the website VoteRiders.

They will cover the cost of getting the documents needed for ID, pay the cost of the ID and provide free transportation to the state DMV and Social Security offices to get there. They’ve helped people secure ID not just to vote, but to help secure employment, housing, health care services and even make the final step to gaining US citizenship.

VoteRiders provides free information and help with voter ID in all US states. We can help you make sure you have the ID you need to vote!

Over 882K Democratic voters in FL are on an inactive list (all they need to do is vote in person or request a VBM ballot to get off it). So Republicans are lying about their voter number advantage. Over 1.3M FL Dem voters didn’t turn out in the 2022 midterms so that’s why there was a GOP “landslide” for RDS and Rubio.

And don’t forget they have abortion and pot on the ballot, which will draw a lot of young Democratic voters. Harris and Powell only need to secure a bare majority in the state to win so it will be close.

I dont think so, while i have not seen any polling from there, i dont think its close enough to say yes, i mean there are factors that could help, a large haitian community, a pro-abortion measure, anything is possible i guess, but every election i hear Florida will flip and they dont, so i will believe it when i see it.

Guess we will see if democrats in Florida actually vote or not, they seem rather unreliable

14% of Republicans would 'take action to overturn' the election if Trump loses, study finds

He loses NC and FL, it’s over for him. Period. Even if he wins one of the two, the math isn’t in his favor at that point.

If he loses only NC, it's over; not because of the electoral vote count, but because it says something about how he's doing overall. WHY he lost NC would translate to other voters in other states. Trump, however, HAS to win PA....period. If he doesn't, the most he can probably come up with would be 268 electoral votes and that's with a clean sweep of AZ, NV, NC, and GA.

I'm sure she has her constituency. She did get more votes than Trump, but helping might also mean staying out of it.

She doesn't appreciate being Monica Lewinsky'd over her love for President Trump, apparently.
