Most if not all of my friends seem to prefer Trump over Biden, so that means Trump will be headed for a landslide of historic proportions Tongue

That's interesting considering Spain seems to hate Trump.

Yeah, my circle of friends is not really representative at all of the average Spaniard. Most of my friends are Vox supporters if I am not mistaken (and Vox is an openly Trumpist party) so it is not too hard to see why most seem to want Trump to win. In fact I am relatively sure I am the only one who is left of centre. Why my circle of friends and aquaintances leans so right wing, I have no idea.

For what is worth, my family and relatives are actually much more representative of the average Spaniard and I'm pretty sure all my close relatives are in support of Biden. Then again all except my mum are left of centre, though she still prefers Biden over Trump (seeing Trump as crazy and deranged every time he makes the news)

It could be something to do with generation. Are younger people more right-wing there? I know it's a common perception that younger people are more liberal but in Israel's case, for example, younger people I believe supported Netanyahu at a higher rate.

I actually had a conversation about this on the Spanish politics thread about a week ago.

Young Spanish men, in terms of left vs right; were essencially evenly divided. However, Vox won a very narrow plurality among men aged 18-30; this being in fact the only demographic where PSOE did not win the plurality of votes.

I guess this could at least partially explain it.

Unlike in the US, age and education are not really great predictors of one's vote in terms of left vs right (though they are good predictors in terms of "traditional parties" vs "new/insurgent parties"

Young people do lean left, but it is something like a 55-45 margin (which gets erased when you reduce this to young men); not the 67-33 the US seem to get.

This means less than nothing in Seattle, but anecdotally, Jorgenson signs probably outnumber Trump signs inside city limits 10-to-1.

CHAZ: Safe Biden -> Lean Jorgensen
