I would think the unions around Vegas would strongly want Xiden gone.

Nevada is going Trump, it has been moving Republican since Reid died. RFK will help Trump in this state as well, by a lot. Same in Arizona

Would like to see some Omaha polls, Trump won that in 2016. Hopefully he does not have to depend on that 1 point.

Now lets look at Maine, Trump has a decent chance to win 3 electoral votes from there. The last poll done was in February so this is very flimsy, but as you can see he is up in Maine by 6 pts in general statewide and he is up huge for the single rural electoral vote

Could we see Trump win 3 pts from Maine?

You know Biden and the Democrats are disenchanted with the odds of him being re-elected when they move to stop the publication and wagering on odds of Biden and the Democrats winning re-election.

Quote:

---

A federal regulator has voted on Friday to move forward on a plan that would attempt to ban wagering on elections, award shows and some sporting events.
The provision would ban specific betting exchanges, which typically hold markets that aren't based on actions on the field such as who the next coach of a team will be and who will win an award voted on by third-party judges.
Some of these services include PredictIt, which allows the public to bet on the outcome of elections and whether laws will be enacted by the state or federal government. Wagers on sports with traditional sportsbooks such as DraftKings and FanDuel would be unaffected, although those books do not host markets such as political elections in the United States.
The vote on Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would put the proposed regulation up for public review, and the proposal won't be official until the commissioners approve a final version. A vote may take months to come into fruition, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

A massive disparity in people at rallies and public enthusiasm doesn't equate to the number mass mailed ballots counted when the process lacks controls and results are predetermined though. Seen this story already before. As Joe Stalin and Joe Biden both said, it's who counts the votes.

Um he pulled 25k in the Bronx. Big Cities cheat, but if he is pulling these people in, that area will be harder to cheat in.

80+k in New Jersey and now 25k in the Bronx. He can probably go in to inner Philly, Harlam, surrounding suburbs in bigger cities and pull a good portion of support. Hell go in to Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Detroit and North Virginia

That many people in the Bronx, sorry to burst your bubble but that says something

Republicans might not get much support in these areas for a reason, we never go try. You start pulling over 20% in these area and it is over. Also you can keep working on turning it redder in the future

He has the support of a lot of Unions and they are a huge part of the city and state. People up there obviously hate the immigrant invasion as well

if we had an excellent debater such as Cruz, Romney, DeSantis, Haley

the GOP should be begging to include Robert Kennedy in the debates to take more disaffacted Biden voters.

as we are saddled with Trump, they likely will not want Kennedy showing up the 80 year olds.

---

It would have been a BRILLIANT move if Trump asked for RFK to be in the debates. He still should try to demand it.

It would put the Biden campaign in a huge mud hole. You now have to announce your are a cooch and do not want it. Publicly.

So it is a win win for Trump, make Biden look like scared old turd. That alone gets RFK A LOT of air time. It does a lot, probably the biggest would be exposing RFK as the nutty left candidate, solidifying the R base for Trump

And if the debate happened, if Trump played the debate right, he could make it a shout match between RFK and Biden

I think I read RFK needs one more poll over 15 for him to qualify. I assume Joseph Robinette Biden wouldn't want both of them on the stage with him. He'd probably get confused why Ted Kennedy was there.

New @CookPolitical (+BSG/GS Strategies) swing state polls: Trump leads, w/ third party candidates pulling slightly more from Biden. Cost of living by far top concern, and 66% think Biden won't be able to finish a second term. https://t.co/QAGWmHfV4x pic.twitter.com/y4gAdYoATs

I also wonder if he has that much support in urban areas there might be an increase in number of whistle blowers to expose something early on although it depends on who is investigating it. That's where it gets tricky...might be better off providing each city Republican friendly authorities they can contact directly.

That would be absolutely hilarious.

I know nothing about polls.

I subscribe to the NYT for its games and recently took them up on a good deal to subscribe to the paper, though I hate to give them my money.

Today they had an article essentially saying that it is possible that Trump's lead is based largely on voters who traditionally are not engaged politically and who do not usually vote. Those votes are "soft," I guess is what they're saying.

Quote:

---

The polls have shown Donald Trump with an edge for eight straight months, but there's a sign his advantage might not be quite as stable as it looks: His lead is built on gains among voters who aren't paying close attention to politics, who don't follow traditional news and who don't regularly vote.

Disengaged voters on the periphery of the electorate are driving the polling results --and the story line-- about the election.

President Biden has actually led the last three New York Times/Siena national polls among those who voted in the 2020 election, even as he has trailed among registered voters overall. And looking back over the last few years, almost all of Trump's gains came from these less engaged voters.

I was fooled by the polls in 2016 (thankfully) and in 2020 (sadly), so I don't know what to think anymore.

For years the state with the most republicans was CA, might still be. I bet if Trump went to Los Angeles he'd have a massive rally too. Still will get crushed there.

I'm so glad the NYT is here to inform the masses not to worry; it's only stupid unenlightened people who won't vote for the senile socialist candidate

Let's explore this question: How motivated are these polled Trump voters?

Here is a yougov poll Link
On slide 31 on the issue of Inflation/Prices 93% of people who say they are voting for Trump consider this a Very Important issue. Then 6% think it is somewhat important. That to me suggests that people voting for Trump are pocketbook voting. That is highly motivating.

Go on to slide 32, the biggest issues ranking. All 3 of the biggest issues for Trump indicated voters in 2024 are also the overall 3 biggest issues from the poll: Inflation/prices, Immigration, Jobs & the Economy.
Let's break that down further.
Inflation/prices: This is a winner for Trump and if this stays the number 1 issue hard to see Trump not winning. There doesn't appear to be any magic bullet that will fix this.
Immigration: Trump should only look to invoke this to rally his base.
Jobs & the Economy: Another winner for Trump. Similar to inflation/prices. This also means that Americans aren't buying the High stock market value = Great economy. All time highs for NASDAQ. That is a bad sign.

Flip side is Biden voters biggest 4 issues: Inflation (that is a bad thing for him), Health care, Climate Change & the environment and Abortion.

Then looking at independents only without leaners (top 5 issues):
Inflation/Prices (27%), Jobs & Economy (16%), Health Care (9%), Climate Change (7%), and Immigration (6%).
3 of the 5 biggest issues are more pro-Trump among independents. As a cumulative percentage that is 49% (the top 3 issues of general public so lots more air time) for pro-Trump issues and only 16% for Biden.

I watched just about all of the Bronx rally and all of the shots of the crowd. Somebody in his campaign pulled the 25,000 number out of his ass.

There's no way it was even close to that. Just looking at the crowd and how deep it was around Trump I think it was closer to 1,500. Maybe 2,000. As far as all the blacks there, I'd guess about 5%.

Trump was in fine form. I'm always amazed at how a man his age can go non-stop without a script for 1-2 hours. He seemed a little more focused on issues than usual which was good. Such a strong contrast to low energy Joe.

So there is a possibility that some of them are soft.

But I want to ask you in your last statement. How were you fooled in 2016 and in 2020. In 2016 the poles clearly showed a Trump win as a real possibility and the 2020 results were expected.

Maybe it's the people you read and not the polls? Because if you were paying attention to the polls 2020 and even 2022 were clear as day and 2016 was not a statistical anomaly.

Just curious

Bronx ain't got many and it's boxed in by city. Way different than some place in Cali

That said, your option is legit

But we should still go to these places and fight for their vote relentlessly

If Dems lose these areas, they're screwed

Keep trying

Minorities are starting to notice and that block is starting to shatter. Keep pulling it apart. Don't stop

In ten years you never know. Rs keep pushing like I said to do, we may have 35% of the black vote

It has to happen. And it's starting to shift

Byron Donald's would only help. Hope he or Rubio are the guys at VP

poor people who want free stuff and the political elite are the only ones who benefit (at least initially, theoretically) from socialism. poor people who want free stuff should vote for the free stuff- tax those stupid workers/earners more so i can get the equity i deserve for free. poor people get socialist politicians in power. it's a vicious cycle that incentivizes endless out of control taxation intentionally impoverishing more and more of your people until the music stops- when the middle and upper middle non-political elites are gone and everything crumbles when the whole populous is impoverished.

if you're going to go into poor communities and tell them to stop voting for free stuff, you better have a very convincing argument illustrating that this country is built off hard work, competition, and merit - and the American dream of providing for yourself and your family can still be possible- you have to demonstrate that lowering taxes and regulations on business and industry makes this a better place for growth and investment so the opportunities to work and earn for yourself are there and the demotivating factors that disincentivize entrepreneurship and careers are gone. the high taxes and burdensome regulatory environments of big government socialism encourages investments in other countries away from here and fewer opportunities. I think some of that messaging is starting to get through to some of them.

I heard a black lady being interviewed the other day that said "we want jobs, not welfare." While that's awesome, I'm not so sure that's the prevailing mindset amongst all welfare recipients (regardless of race).

To put it frankly, most of them just aren't going to work. They've been used to living with the bare minimum via welfare, for free and are content carrying on that lifestyle until death. That mindset is so freaking crazy to me (no ambition, no desire to better yourself, etc), but I think the government is largely to blame for that as well.

Sometimes my dog gets mad at me and refuses to eat the same dry, boring kibble over and over again. He has the freedom to go outside and catch a bird or squirrel or something more tasty, but no longer has the ambition. He's been so spoiled and accustomed to simply walking to his bowl and eating whatever I give him, that he's too lazy now to do anything else. As such, instead of improving his situation, he pouts for a while until he finally gets hungry enough, and eventually eats his kibble.

That's what we've got going on here.

No-one gives a **** about polls, especially when they are given to one demographic most of the time.

This is the way it was when we were growing up.

Those that needed it tried to be on welfare as little a time as possible.

Now, many just live off of it and not scrimping I might add.

When Democrats celebrate high numbers on welfare they have it backwards.

You want as few as possible on it.

Biden's America sucks.

Why not? It gets him on the news. People are going to make a big deal on this, free advertisement. And it is early, no reason not to test the waters. It is not a waste of time. I believe he was in Texas for the NRA thing, not to campaign

I do however think you are correct, he needs to spend the majority of his time in the swing states.

He has a lot more states he can win this election though. Maine, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Virginia. That added to the other usual seven

Will be interesting to see how he spreads it around

having 1100 people at a rally doesn't mean ANYTHING about actually winning a national election requiring 270 electoral votes.
