    Maybe, maybe not. You sound very confident in Trump. I’m not.

    Sure, there’s a risk Trump will somehow pull out a win in the electoral college. But I don’t think he’s the favorite by any stretch of the imagination.

      Assume he is and act accordingly. Otherwise we’ll ll have the the rest of our lives to regret it.

      Well, I’ve been following the polling in these states for several months now and I’ve watched them go from 1/2 Biden 1/2 Trump, to all Trump by a couple of points, to all Trump by 5 to 6 points.

      The momentum is definitely with Trump at this point.

      Can he maintain it? Dunno.

        Dude, we’ve all been watching. And everyone knows that it’s going to be close. It always is. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to predict that. It’s also way too early to conclude anything from polling.

          The whole point is following the trend line. If the trend continues, it’s important to have been following it as soon as possible.

            You can find any trend you want in statistics. The only trend that matters is on election day.

              And by the time you can report on that, it’s far too late to do anything about it.

              Which is why you follow the trend line now.
