One of the few people Trump was ever said to be genuinely close to was fellow shitbag Roy Cohn, and Trump basically cut Cohn out of his life once he began dying of AIDS.

:lol: one of these polls again that MAGA is pushing to distract from polls that came out today. 538 does not use the pollster because of how bad it is.

https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1312771713319436288?s=20


quote:

The monthly Democracy Institute Sunday Express poll for the Presidential election shows that Mr Trump is still on course for victory with 46 percent of the popular support compared to his Democrat rival Joe Biden’s 45 percent.

However, his overall lead has dropped by two points since the last poll in September.

The poll was completed after the news broke that President Trump and his wife Melania have been infected by Covid-19.

But 68 percent said the illness would not affect their vote while 19 percent said they were “more likely” to support Trump and only 13 percent “less likely”.
Almost two thirds said they felt sympathy and concern for the President while 38 percent said him getting the disease was “karma” in an indication of the current divisive nature of US politics.
Crucially, Mr Trump’s lead in key swing states including Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin remains at 4 percent by 47 percent 43 percent.

This gives a projected Electoral College split of 320 to Trump and 218 to Biden.

While other polls have Biden ahead, the Democracy Institute, which correctly predicted Brexit and Trump’s win in 2016, only considers people who identify as “likely voters” rather than all registered voters and also asks about the so called shy vote.

This shows that 77 percent of Trump supporters would not admit it to friends or family members.
Other controversies appear to have had little impact on the election with around 8 in 10 voters saying that the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court has changed their position, although Trump got more favourable support 12 percent, than unfavourable 9 percent.

After a first bad tempered debate in the election, 32 percent said Trump won and 18 percent Biden but half thought it was a draw and more than 7 in 10 said it made no difference to how they would vote.
Law and order remains the top issue in the election after riots linked to the black lives matter protests with 32 percent identifying it as their number one concern.

However, the economy is closing the gap with 30 percent putting it top as the effects of coronavirus continue to bite.

Trump outscores Biden on the economy with 70 percent thinking that the economy is bouncing back and 60 percent to 40 percent trusting the President over his rival on the issue.

Meanwhile, the poll reveals that former Mr Biden has a “reality problem” with twice as many people giving credit to reality TV star Kim Kardasian for prison reform than the former Vice President.

Asked who has had a more positive impact on criminal justice 41 percent say Trump, the same number say Kim Kardasian and just 18 percent say Biden.

Democracy Institute director Patrick Basham said: “When a reality TV star beats you in a poll on an important policy question, you know your campaign has a problem.

“We find twice as many voters give Kim Kardashian credit for advancing the cause of criminal justice reform – an especially important issue among Black voters – than rate Biden’s contribution. 

“Trump and Biden’s respective standings on this specific issue epitomise Biden’s overarching Achilles’ Heel in this election: comparatively low support and enthusiasm for his candidacy among Black voters. To beat Trump, Biden needs nine in 10 Black votes, and lots of Black voters to cast ballots. Currently, he’s positioned to win only eight in ten, with two out of ten Black voters ready to support Trump, and overall Black turnout looking to be flat, at best.”

e: Just realized something. Remember the end of Wayne's World when they made that show "for an audience of one" to get the attention of that record guy? That's probably what this is. Trump's mad at Chris Wallace and he's definitely heard them call him obese live. These guys want Trump to personally see it to cheer him up and then direct all his followers to it. Dude's apparently not calling Hannity anymore, even as the guy begs him to on-air (lol).

Can we reflect on how cowardly Paul Ryan and Jason Chaffetz are that they gave up their lifelong political ambitions because they didn't want to spend four years defending Trump? I'd love to see how they would have handled his response to the roni.

Nate Silver gave 30% odds for Trump to win. Those are not 0% odds.

He basically said "If the polls are correct, Hillary wins. But the polls are weird this year, and they may be wrong. If they are, they will all be wrong in the same direction." Which is exactly what happened.

In any case, the one poll in question showing Trump leading is garbage.

Sometimes the long shot comes in. Everyone in politics lives and dies by polls, and Trump's team definitely obsesses over them. How many times has he posted skewed poll numbers on his twitter to rally the troops?

538 is an aggregator - you can look at one of 100 other polls to make your assessment.

I thought it would be interesting if someone made a chart comparing the costs of big wet boy’s treatment vs the average covid patient in the states who require hospitalization. With the additional highlight showing how much the average person has to pay for it vs $0 for the loving idiot who is largely to blame for the majority of the cases.

Huh, I've been so concerned with how exhausting it must be to refute every lies that comes out of donnie's anusmouth I never really appreciated how loving tiresome it must be to keep up the narrative of a victorious winning administration when everything points to humiliating defeat.
Exposing a lie is one thing, imagine having to craft them, give up on internal consistency just to discover it doesn't actually make the job any easier, where every single take is "OK our team isn't looking too good but how do I make the other team look worse?"

Yeah, Sam Wang of the Princeton Election Consortium said Trump had a 1% chance. As the results were coming in, Nate Silver was tweeting stuff at him like "This does not look like a 99% scenario."

Later, Sam ate a bug on TV because he said he would do so if Trump won.

Oops, my brain has been slurried so hard by the last five years that I forgot he was the one to say "a 20% chance means it happens one in five times" and it was the other outlets predicting a certain wipeout.
