On the contrary, I have resolved to never vote for a Democrat again - for any office, anywhere!

I hate statistics and polls

How a person answers a question in a poll is not accurate poll unless it is a huge difference.

Just because Trump has 41% approval rating does not mean that people who don’t approve with his job approval will not vote for him.

It may hurt republicans overall, but things may change over the next 6 months.

This is not just going to hurt republicans, but all politicians.

They could probably have also found folks who voted democrat who are now leaning Republican, but I’m sure they didn’t look.

White college graduates over the age of 60 now favor Democrats over Republicans for Congress by a 2-point margin. The same group favored Republicans by 10 percentage points during the same polling period in 2016.


Two points is within margin of error. Ten points, not so much. To call this a true twelve point swing is laughable.

And we know that these polls flat out over sample and effectively lie in an attempt to shape opinion.

Wait; I thought all the old people had already been killed (and the muslims, mexicans, gays, and the CHILDREN!). That was Trump who did that, right?

How are all these dead people s'posed to vote?...

How many white people over 60 graduated from college? The number can’t be very high . Also where do these people live besides California and NY?

Fake news, I haven't budged one bit in my support of the GOP and the president. Democrats are bad for the country and a threat to the constitution.

Sounds about right. Most people lie about being fiscally conservative...this is one of those examples.
