Makes sense, polling wise, given the discourse and findings around non-voters going for Trump.
However, if you look at this in a vaccuum, it's objectively not good for him. The closer we get to the election, the more people *will be* tuned in - and by and large, the people who have been tuned in and are following what's going on don't like him. Sure, some people will still vote for him even once the election nears, but this says to me that once people start paying attention, things can shift very easily.
I am not surprised at all to see people who are completely disengaged or are super apathetic more prone to Trump. However, it's key for pollsters to actually find out if these people vote. If you didn't vote in 2020 (or 2022), the likelihood of you voting this year seems pretty slim.

Montana’s attorney general said he recruited token primary opponent to increase campaign fundraising“I do technically have a primary,” Attorney General Austin Knudsen said last week when asked at the event who was running against him. “However, he is a young man who I asked to run against me because our campaign laws are ridiculous.”
Knudsen separately faces dozens of professional misconduct allegations from the state’s office of attorney discipline as he seeks a second term. He made the comments about his primary opponent during the fundraiser on May 11 in Dillon, Montana, according to the recording obtained by the Daily Montanan, which is part of the nonprofit States Newsroom organization.
In the recording, Knudsen is heard saying that Logan Olson “filed to run against me simply because under our current campaign finance laws in Montana, it allows me to raise more money. So, he supports me and he’s going to vote for me.”

Israel should tell the ICC any attempt to arrest Israeli officials will be treated as a declaration of war and we should tell the ICC that we support Israel in doing that
That would simply END the ICC once and for all, with mass defections.
Which I am very in favor of, as a nationalist. It’s just fun to watch that the same people here (not referring to you, I am talking about red avis) posing as liberal internationalists only when it’s on THEIR national interests - ie: Putin being condemned - and then suddenly turning against international institutions whenever it’s NOT, like Netanyahu being condemned.
I’ve said this before, but we’re not in XX century anymore. USA will be forced to choose between being an interventionist + internationalist power or a non-interventionist + nationalist power.
World is becoming way more decentralized for it to successfully maintain its natural instinct of interventionist + nationalist without expecting major setbacks in return. And it’s becoming more and more clear that all of you guys - not just Trumpists, but Democrats too - will eventually choose to give up on your internationalist prestige first (and which gives you credibility that allows for interventionism) in order to protect national interests.
I'm not a nationalist by any means, but yeah "liberal internationalism is good until it no longer is". That's very much true. This forum (or portions of this forum) can be ridicilously hypocrite sometimes.
Probably everyone cheered the decision to issue a warrant for Putin, but now that one has been issued for Netanyahu we even hear calls here to ignore it, and that nations that decide not to ignore it Israel should declare war against.
You can't even make this up anymore. The credibility some had is completely gone and the shamelessness of some users is just hilarious to watch.
Explain your positions (and from the beginning) and what you think i am?
Yeah it seems like there's some confusion on my Russo-Ukraine war because some users really like to frame me as Pro-Russia for whatever reasons in an attempt to smear or delegitimize me. I'm Pro-Ukraine, you'll not find a single post where i approve of Russia's invasion against Ukraine, period. |

I've been following US elections for over 50 years and have missed two: 2000, when I predicted the reverse of what happened (Gore winning the EC while losing the PV), and 2016, which a lot of people missed.
At this point I simply don't know who's going to win this year, although I like to think it's a highly informed "don't know" rather than a copout.  The race is too close and there's too much time left to predict it objectively with any degree of confidence. As I've said before, if the election was held today I'd rate Trump as a slight favorite, although far from a certainty; it's certainly within the margin of error. But there is plenty of time and opportunity for Biden to retake the lead.
To use a football analogy I've used before, Biden is down a touchdown in the second quarter. There's plenty of time and the opportunity is certainly there, but he can't just stand pat; he has to actually do the work needed to make up the deficit.
It was a foregone conclusion that Reagan was going to win in a landslide; the only question was how big it would be. The most interesting part of election night was watching to see just how many states he'd actually get. Also, it wasn't that far removed from 1972, which was an equally big landslide, so it didn't seem like a unique event. I agree that today such a lopsided result would be shocking (to say the least). |

That wasn’t necessarily a dig at you personally as I have no idea what your thoughts on the Russo-Ukraine war are just a more general vent. |
