Goat's POLS Thread for Mature Adults

So catch me up...what’s the basis for the gloom here? Other than Florida...which really we should have figured for Trump anyway...what has Trump taken that wasn’t expected?
Nothing. We're really just holding steady. But it's stressful for people because they know that "Holding steady" means "A moderate polling error means we yet again win the vote but not the electoral college" and that's starting to wear kind of ****ing thin.

Nothing. But Biden hasn't picked anything up. Hopes were high that he'd have scored an upset of some sort by now.

NC is still in play (but fading some) and AZ just post good numbers for the early voting.

My anxiety level is creeping up. I know better, but it just is.
 
Give me a 1 or 2 point shift to Biden vs Clinton - Trump in PA, MI and WI and I’ll be happy. Or give Biden the 3rd party margins from 2016. Neither of those seem unreasonable. In fact, one might expect it given what we have seen. There’s a long way to go.

NC metros -- Biden country -- have a shit ton of votes yet to be counted.
I agree, but my posting history tonight looks like this...

"Early Florida looks promising."
"Early Texas looks promising."
"Early Georgia looks promising."

I'm starting to get tired of looking at what's promising. I understand that these are all states that ended up as toss-ups, so this isn't exactly indicative of any kind of major polling error. In fact, as close as it is, there probably isn't a major polling error. But it does probably mean that we're basically right back where we were as a country in 2016.

Early voters were prick teasers. Same day voters squeezed our balls.

Sad. We are a very evenly divided country
 
All I meant by my post that was deleted on Chinese Yuan was that like the betting odds in Vegas the Chinese are now betting the tariffs are going to stay.
