[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Iowa poll actually made my anxiety level come down. Selzer was one of the few who called it for Trump in 2016 and it gives me hope that this is not going to be as much of a nail biter as everyone was predicting….[/quote]

Same. Hopefully she’s right lol [/quote]

you do realize that if trump loses Iowa he will still win according to all the polls?[/quote]

I am hoping that the amount of intelligent people voting out number the deplorables. I am no longer watching the news or political coverage because I just can't take anymore and it seems like it's all BS Trump propaganda at this point. [/quote]

OP here - I am not so certain about this. The DMV is a bubble; there is an entire other world and reality out there. Was on the phone with a friend who lives in Arizona; both her and her husband voted for Trump. She kept talking about illegal immigrants etc. I know at least three other friends (these are all 30+ year relationships) in VA, GA and PA, who will vote Trump, along with their spouses. And these are educated people; just different value systems. I have another educated friend here in MD who is educated and is Jewish who is voting Trump, partly due to Israel issues. So, who knows what will happen on Tuesday....[/quote]
So you know a bunch of people voting for Trump. That’s great. But it doesn’t change the fact that [b]Trump lost the popular vote[/b] in the two last elections and he lost the electoral vote last election. [/quote]

True...but it should be worrisome that it was NOT by that much.

Taking a look at the past...Trump steadily won 47% of the popular vote both in 2016 and 2020....that's half the country. The only reason Biden won in 2020 is because rather than vote for other third party candidates people voted for Biden.

I am worried about those voting for Jill Stein or deciding to not vote at all. This is the percentage that will make or brake it IMHO.
