    I would like more details on that poll that was run. We know a Catholic college ran it that has an 85% average of being right when it’s 30 days within an election, that’s not enough to know anything except we’re months away from an election. How many people did they ask, what were the demographics, and what were the questions.

      This far out, polls are not guesses about election results, but rather estimates of sentiments. That’s how they’re read.

      The position being taken here is that the national sentiment is against Joe Biden. You can think he could still power through. You can think that the undecided will break his way. You could think that people realize losing Roe will be the least of their concerns if Trump gets in.

      But these are legitimate measures of public sentiment. Biden has a national poll-of-polls approval rating of 39%. That’s Carter and Bush I territory.

      I will always vote Democrat but I had hoped he would be one and done. This is feeling like 2016 all over again.
