HOW DID THE POLLS GET IT SO WRONG...AGAIN?

Disapproval higher than approval=lose

Approval higher than disapproval=win

100% correct for over 60 years

Consider the source: Most pollsters have been discredited after their 2016 and 2020 debacles.

Yet Fox News has highlighted polls twice in the last 2 hours.They are useless and discredited according to you though.

Fox “News” causes brain rot, I suspect. Try the new guys, OANN. From what little I saw, they used journalistic principles, unlike the mainstream propaganda outlets.

Back to fake polls designed to influence elections: Polls are supposed to have statistical validity, hence their quoted margin of error. Polls showed Trump was decisively losing the election by 600 to 700 basis points, yet he only lost, under controversial circumstances, in five swing states less than .1%. This is evidence fake polls cost Trump his reelection, as multiple studies have shown the “Bandwagon effect” to benefit the poll leader by 20 to 250 basis points, depending on the study.

I have to wonder how big of a landslide Trump would have won if the media was fair and balanced, polls reflected Trump’s true popularity, and there were no extensive election irregularities.

However, it is all water under the bridge at this point. Biden is President and hopefully he will serve the American people, all the American people as well as, or even better than Trump would have done.

Propaganda and opinions of Trump are old news at this point

Propaganda and opinions will fade from our memory, but sadly for his family and descendants the facts will remain. He will be remembered as the Worst President in U.S. History during the Republic's first 234 years. Hopefully there will be many more centuries added to that record. At this point, the probability that he may end his days in Federal Prison, while not great, is still significant.

These polls are not useless. They provide an accurate window into the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the 2021 Republican party.

Piezoe, given your rampant and totally full-blown level of Trump Derangement Syndrome the last 4 or 5 years, I'm curious - can you speak to why the Republican Party is morally and intellectually bankrupt because of the list of candidates here?

I mean specific reasons to the candidates. Other than "I just hate everyone on the right". I suppose that is an acceptable answer, too.

Or is it just the 68% graphic you're taking umbrage with?

The Orange Man bad theme is the only good news they have going at the moment, so they won't let go of that anytime soon.
Their biggest challenge will be appeasing their own base. The base essentially wants Universal Basic Income for all the unemployed, 15 bucks an hour for those employed at the minimum wage level, which makes zero sense. Why work when UBI pays better than working? Covid is still completely out of control in the lockdown states, and holding it's own everywhere else. Logistics of the vaccine rollout will continue to be problematic. A caravan of illegals is working it's way up to arrive by spring. Joe can handle that with the stroke of his pen, but still has the problem that comes with thousands upon thousands of poor and sick people entering the country.
Antifa isn't going away, expect a violent summer. It's only a matter of time before some thug gets his ass jammed up with a cop. Enter BLM. The MAGA mob is organizing and will dominate any news of violence, but that won't diminish the damage being done by Antifa and BLM mobs. Expect the media smoke and mirror game to provide as much cover as possible.
Then there's foreign policy which can blow up, literally, in an instant. China will continue to fuck us wherever possible.
Finally the boot of big tech will continue to try and control what passes for free speech which will only serve to exacerbate all of the above problems. Other than that, it's all good. Oh wait, Hunter might have a surprise or two. Me thinks Joe is going to be looking for an early exit, and Kamala ain't ready for primetime, not in the middle of this shitshow. So yeah, hanging on to Orange man bad will be around for awhile.

You wrote this on Jan 18th, two days before the inauguration. It somewhat describes the situation as it existed in the country on Jan 18th. By now, March 1st, it must stand as one of your least prophetic posts, and perhaps one of, if not the least, prophetic, in multiple ways, posts ever in this ET Forum.

I think he's pretty damned close with what's been going on. Of course, if you're living under a rock, or taking MSNBC intravenously you wouldn't think so.

I also hope that Biden will serve the American people.

So far he has served the Chinese, Iranian, and Mexican people through his various proposals.

Probably America is on his list somewhere.
