(565 posts)Trump and his minions will try to make the entire election all about race. That's always been their modus operandi.

(1,889 posts)They contract with a pair of Dem/GOP pollsters to do their polls: Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R).
democrattotheend
(12,002 posts)The way they report them is often slanted, but the polls themselves are legit polls with live interviews, done by a reputable Democratic and Republican pollster, and well rated on 538. They don't usually tilt any further right than other news organizations' polls.

(3,504 posts)Democrats will get out the early vote. Republican don't do it which means some of them won't make it on election day.

(55,334 posts)In 2016 Clinton only won the state by 46.4% to 44.9%, a 1.5% difference.
We should never underestimate how destructive and divisive... and how seductive... appeals to hate and resentment can be.
Republicans sure haven't
Self Esteem
(838 posts)In the last three presidential elections, here's the percentage won by the GOP nominee in Minnesota:
2012: 45%
2016: 45%
2020: 45%
My guess is that Trump probably wins 45%. If Minnesota is close it'll be due to third party candidates.
Bucky
(55,334 posts)Sorry, but if we did our jobs right, 3rd parties wouldn't win over the margins of victory from us.
No voter owes their vote to the Democratic Party. It's our jobs as loyal partisans to earn the votes of the general electorate. If another party outhustles us, well that's just how democracy works.
I'm a Democrat, but I'm a democrat ahead of that.
Self Esteem
(838 posts)I never once said Hillary was robbed. Never said anything remotely about it. I did point out that Minnesota was closer than it's been in the most recent election cycles because third party candidates did much better there than we've seen - not that Trump somehow expanded typical GOP support. That's all.
Bucky
(55,334 posts)Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by "but rather third party candidates taking away from Hillary." From the context I thought you meant votes
They did take away from Hillary. That's a fact based on what we know from previous elections. That doesn't mean there wasn't reasons for those voters, who likely voted Obama in 2012 and Biden in 2020, not voting Hillary. But those third party candidates did take votes from Hillary.
Celerity
(46,154 posts)in terms of Biden dropping out was the expansion (via both public and internal polling) of seriously at-risk states to include NH, NM, MN, VA, and even CO and NE-2 towards the end. That is on top of being consistently down, for months, in the core swing states of AZ, GA, WI, MI, PA, NV, and (the only real remotely flippable chance from Red to Blue) NC.
Do not forget that Minnesota was pretty damn close in 2016. It was one of only two states I missed on the EC map. I had it going Red (following the rest of the Midwest collapse) and FL going Blue (will not make that mistake again, did not in 2020, and certainly do not see it going Blue this time either, unfortunately).
Bucky
(55,334 posts)If Jersey ever becomes a swing state, we're "screwn" (remember that?)
Things are getting set back to normal now. My blood pressure is back to sane levels. But our Titanic was cruising toward an iceberg for a couple of months there. It was an important history lesson for all of us.

NickB79
(19,448 posts)Northern Minnesota was once reliably blue thanks to unions working the taconite mines. That's gone now. And rural Minnesota is far more red now, where 50 yr ago farmers like my grandfather were Democrats.
All the major cities are still blue, but our margin of victory has been eroding lately.

(37,604 posts)"Trends" are a whole other kind of narrative used by corporate media, and that's for another discussion.

(8,465 posts)After less than a week!
Stuart Rothenberg was surprised and encouraged by how quickly this has happened. He thought it would take another week or two for the polls to reflect improvement.
She's going to gain momentum and pass Trump soon. The narrative will change. She'll be the frontrunner, and then the Inevitable Loser Stink will settle on Trump, and he'll be done.
RainCaster
(11,245 posts)Let's do away with the Electoral College and then the press can treat all of us voters the same.
Bucky
(55,334 posts)Sorry, but that's just not a constructive suggestion.
In a "Best of All Possible Worlds" universe, then yes, a popular vote system would be more just. But we don't live there and the obstacles to getting there are effectively insurmountable. ☹️
BComplex
(8,889 posts)But I'm afraid we're a long way from getting that done. It's just too big of an ask with the country so split up.
RainCaster
(11,245 posts)I'm thinking positively about this. It will happen sooner than we think.
Johnny2X2X
(20,881 posts)Had dinner with a very conservative friend tonight. He is not counting for Trump. He usually has a pretty good reason things from a conservative perspective.
He thinks Harris is going to win in a landslide. And he really doesnt like her.
