It's crazy that he could win by over 100 electoral votes but only win the popular vote by less than a million.

Not when you understand that our forefathers made the electoral voting system to defend against states exactly like California. Otherwise we would be under the tyranny of the majority, which, in CA’s case, wants to force the spread of their state policies to everywhere else.

Me too and no but I love projections showing this result. The last couple weeks have been pretty good to Trump and I'd take a stretch of good news for Trump in October over a fantastic 2017-2019 stretch for Trump any time.

Well he posted this about his opinion about polls:
Tweet with picture

But then also this:
Tweet
quote:

The national electorate party affiliation was D+5 in 2016 and Trump STILL managed to win.

Today, it's R+1. A national SIX POINT shift towards Republicans in 4 years!

That pulls info from Poll Watch which grabbed it from Gallup's party affiliation tracking.

So . . .

That would be significant if:

A) he wasn't citing a poll when he hadn't already stated that #PollsArentReal

B) he wasn't neglecting the independent section of that poll

C) He wasn't cherry-picking results as if the result wasn't D +5 a few weeks ago (It was)

That same poll has Republicans with a +7 advantage earlier this year. Seems kind of volatile/suspect.

I will say that trafalgar group polls were quite good in the 2016 election, IIRC. The most current polls have Trump with a slight lead in Michigan, good lead in Florida, and Ohio and Arizona essentially gone. Also, they have him on the heels of Biden in Wisconsin, and behind in Pennsylvania.

I don’t know their margin of error, but I’d almost guarantee that Michigan and Wisconsin are in it, with a decent chance that Pennsylvania and Florida are in it as well.

However, early voting/mail in voting in Michigan has been especially red (considering early voting tendencies), unless something has changed in the last 24 or so hours.

To sum up, if he gets all the ones he’s ahead in, plus one more purplish swing state then he wins (I’m assuming Georgia, Iowa, and Texas are red here, regardless of what some other polls say). This is assuming that North Carolina and New Hampshire are tossups, which they could very easily be shifted to one side already. I’d assume NC to red, and NH to blue.

TLDR: if trafalgar is accurate, then Trump looks to be in good shape. If I’m missing anything, let me know.

Edit: It appears that NC is a red lean, and Wisconsin has leaned red before. I would still keep Wisconsin as a tossup with Michigan, but NC is probably red.

I think he has a shot, but will reduce the margin of Dem victory in NY and CA and may flip a couple of House seats as well...

Xi Jinping will be crying on election night, if his boy Biden loses.
