    The were right more often than Rasmussen, you can't pick one data point and say that stream that produced that data is as repeatable as others who were shown to be more accurate over more cycles. And again, Hillary got more votes. Are you saying that this new Rasmussen polling shows that in the battle ground states in 2020 trump is winning in the same manner.

    Again...

    This is an open border.

    This is not.

    You're propagandizing the forum. Democrats are not calling for "open borders."
    We choose not to care for our fellow Americans. Other countries with lower per capita GDPs take care of their citizens,
    Remember, the point was that we weren't doing much to stop illegals even then.
    Do we? Trump isn't going after employers hiring illegals, nor is he limiting visas that people overstay. He's exploiting the problem for votes while hiring illegals at his golf clubs.​
    Beto trying a Hail Mary to stay in the race is the guy calling for forced buybacks. Besides, hand guns are doing by far most of the killing.

    You can post all the pictures that you want. Fact is that there are many Dem contenders that want to decriminalize illegal border crossing. If its not criminalized then what is to deter them from entering without our knowledge? If they offer incentives, such as free medical care, to people from outside the country then why wouldn't they come here where just entering without anyone knowing about it is not longer a criminal act and get free healthcare from a nation that has far better medical care than 3rd world countries?

    You say that they're not advocating for open borders, yet you have continuously ignored the fact that they want to decriminalize entering our country without permission. What exactly is that if its not open borders? What is to stop them?

    And they have far less expenses and a tax rate that is insane.

    And yet in your same article it points towards a drive to deport them.


    Going after employers that hire illegals is not easy. The law states that they have to knowingly hire them in order for them to be charged with violating it. Proving such is not easy. I agree that we need to go after employers harder. But proving that they knowingly hired illegals is not an easy task and can take years.

    And fyi, Trump didn't hire anyone at his golf clubs. He's rich remember? He has other people do the hiring.​

    I wasn't talking about Beto banning guns, though he is certainly one of the ones wanting it. Banning guns is a main staple of the Democrats platform...even before Beto.

    Well, the dems got Hilary, so Trump pretty much got a free pass. It's likely to happen again this time too. Don't think I'm saying otherwise. Warren is basically a slightly more prog Hilary. Hilary 2.0.

    Trump is clearly in trouble.

    Fake Don's hysteria in the face of the evidence mounting against him in the congressional inquiry is not a credible defense.

    Trump's numbers already stunk mightily and relentlessly.

    They're getting worse.

    It is difficult to make a viable case for re-election amidst scandals against which one's only defense appears to be hysterical tantrums while one's "easy to win!" trade war is increasingly ravaging America.

    A poll run by Putin in Russia does not count.

    I think the election will come down to a single state — Pennsylvania, where he is currently polling at -8%. He won Pennsylvania by 0.72% in 2016.

    Whoever wins there wins the White House from the data I am seeing.

    Wrong... If the election were to take place today, and Trump wins PA, he ends up with 326 EC votes.

    Trump is currently dead even in Pennsylvania.

    Trump is doing much better than he did in 2016 overall.

    Could be, especially if Trump tones it down as we get closer to the election. He's behind in some other key swing states--Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina--and that's not a good sign when the eventual Democratic nominee will be able to move to the center for the general election.

    Source?
    None of the analysts maps indicate this, even conservative ones...

    Took a look at Rasmussen today to see what effect the impeachment fervor has been having on Trump's approval rating. The fervor started on or about 9/24, when Trump's approval rating had hit a recent high of 53%. It then dropped down 8 percentage points over the next two weeks, to a recent low of only 45% on 10/8.

    By Friday though, 10/11, his approval rating had climbed back up to 49%, with 50% disapproving. The next polling data will come out tomorrow.

    It would seem impractical to me to attempt to impeach someone who has a near 50% approval rating and no impeachable offenses. But of course, the Dems have never been known for their practicality.

    If they decide to impeach, it's going to have a MAJOR impact on Dem Congressional re-elections. I hope they try it. Repubs can have a full Congress again...and possibly the white house again.

    You know you are desperate when you have to fall back on a poll that is a statistical outlier. The MOE and rapid variations they have should be indication enough but I guess nkt

    It’s statistically unlike Republicans will gain the House next year, the districts that are up for election are not in their favor.
    It’s also highly unlikely they lose the Senate for the same reason.

    The presidency is the only thing that is up in the air.

    What a safe prediction. You better hope you're right because many Dems are very against impeachment because of the congressional votes....I take it you didn't watch the last Dem debate...?

    Seems odd to me that you'd consider the most accurate pollster of 2016 to be an outlier.

    No, too many candidates.
    I usually only watch snippets until final few.

    I don’t really hope I am right, just putting statistical data out there.

    I never left that option out.
    Maybe you should reread what you are quoting.

    “The presidency is the only thing that is up in the air.”

    How does that statement lead you to believe I “left out” the option of a trump electoral win?
