A +1 in a Fox poll is quite bad for Trump, yeah?

Fox polls are generally good and non-partisan. Crazy, I know.

Uh, I’m pretty fucking excited about price controls.

That Emerson +4 poll has Harris +2, Trump -10, Walz even, Vance -10

That puts the 538 favorability averages at:

Harris 44/48
Trump 43/52
Walz 37/32
Vance 33/42

Explain to me like I'm 5 the difference between polls and favorability polls.  And why I should care.

I wonder when the Harris/Walz cammo hats will start being seen in the wild…

If people don't like you, it's hard to get them to vote for you outside of your base.  If over 50% of voters don't like Trump, it's pretty hard for him to get a majority of the vote. 

He usually hovers around 43-45 favorability, which is typically where his polling hovers (44-46%).

So by this logic, Walz should be running for POTUS?

Would it be too much to ask for Kamala or Walz to show up to their debate and put an orange, a mushroom, and a little toy couch on the podium and not say a word about it?

Look at the second and third pictures. The black kid they hired was hiding his face with the sign and then he's gone. I assume they kicked him out for not acting convincingly enough.

Props aren’t allowed. I’d rather see Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll seated in the front row of the audience. I don’t know if Karen McDougal could be persuaded. She actually liked the guy.

Do pollsters have to say who they are? I can imagine plenty of people hearing “we’re polling for Fox News” and hanging the fuck up while others would be happy to speak with them and skew the poll.

He definitely understands and knows that there will never be two VP debates.  He's just trying to score cheap points when the second one doesn't happen.

I am pretty sure that is just for the "independent" split.  The FoxNews poll had 1100 RV, which is pretty typical of polls, at least ones that do frequent polling.  

Can they do anything normal? Even debate schedules get all Dotarded up. 

"Kamala has agreed to debate me on Fox News, taking place at Mar-a-lago!"

"No I haven't. It's on CNN as scheduled."

"(ok)"

Having to coexist with a family of Trumpists in a red state, I often feel like I am going insane. And it's in those moments I thank sweet baby Jesus for you assholes and this fucking board. If it weren't for Surly, I think I might lose my goddamn mind.

Unless the internet goes away, those people aren't coming back. It fucking sucks.

You worried about that when the real problem is the 3-4 companies that control everything in the beef, crop, poultry, pork, etc industries.

I have no issue with the Fox poll. We will see a few Trump +1 / tied race to Harris +5-6 and that doesn’t change that its +3 Harris or so today

I bet this goes to like 51-52 Harris to 46 Trump

 

I think Trump is hard stuck at where he is where as Harris could get a few extra percentages. People who vote for Trump are not going to change much if at all.

I’m basically non-ideological on everything. The facts on the ground are what matter and you should always decide based on that.

This is one where I’d want to see whatever analysis they’ve done to say this is one of the situations where controls work out.  Austin doesn’t feel very monopolistic in grocery.  Small towns would more I’m sure, just like they’d seem that way for every type of business.

CNN out there digging up 20-year-old news on Tim Walz's DWI arrest and yet nary a peep on the $10M bribe to Trump from Egypt.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/15/politics/tim-walz-2006-campaign-falsely-described-dwi-kfile/index.html

Quote

When Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz first ran for Congress in 2006, his campaign repeatedly made false statements about the details of his 1995 arrest for drunk and reckless driving.

According to court and police records connected to the incident, Walz admitted in court that he had been drinking when he was pulled over for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone in Nebraska. Walz was then transported by a state trooper to a local hospital for a blood test, showing he had a blood alcohol level of .128, well above the state’s legal limit of 0.1 at the time.

But in 2006, his campaign repeatedly told the press that he had not been drinking that night, claiming that his failed field sobriety test was due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard. The campaign also claimed that Walz was allowed to drive himself to jail that night.

Joe is bad, but he is good because he hates others that are bad, but he is bad because he hates me, but he is good because he was ripped off so actually it is Kamala who is bad.

what the hell does this have to do with anything? His campaign should be doing everything they can to tie Harris to Biden considering how unpopular he is. 

he keeps shooting himself in the dick.

I honestly believe he thinks Biden is no longer president.
