2020 Poll Hype Thread

Probably Biden up by Trump by 19.

Yeah, I was also thinking something along the lines of reputable pollster(s) showing Biden ahead by 20.

Polls are meaningless if they don’t translate into actual votes. Between the disaster of mail in ballots, voter suppression due to Covid, and the beyond drastic enthusiasm gap between Trump and Biden, these are all strong indicators for a Trump re-election.

The polls are misleading, and the talking heads of the mainstream media are wrong.

At this rate, you folks are going to have the Alaska results in negative numbers.

Wouldn't put it past NYT/Siena, tbqh.

This isn't really poll hype, but I have no idea where else it would belong:

Where was Biden up 3 in OH? Anyways, it was a pretty bad day for Trump in polls, but a little bit of a better day for Rs in the senate, though still pretty bad

He tweeted a reply correcting the Ohio error.

I hadn't seen that earlier but yeah, here's said reply for anybody curious:

If even Barack Obama could not unite the country after George W. Bush, does anyone really believe Joe Biden would be able to do so after Donald Trump?

Yes. Obama was a black, you see, and therefore 40-45% of the country hated him.

No. Biden is an old, angry, white, cis-male, you see. Therefore 40-45% of the Democratic Party already hates him.

Ah yes, we just hate him so much that we're... *checks notes* ... more unified as a party than we've been at any other point over these past 5 years or so?
