Election 2020

Wow. You think calling someone fat and old and challenging them to pushup contests shows strength. We have to agree to disagree.

How about his new campaign slogan rollout, the 'No Malarkey' tour... you think he's poised to turn out the millenial vote in the general? Again, agree to disagree.

Somehow, you again misstate what I said. "you could if you strain hear biden say "look, fat", but it was "look, facts", as in biden was not calling the troll fat, he was trying to get the dweeb to use his head and try to get facts straight. the main complaint of troll, besides the fox lie of joe biden got son a job at burism, was biden was too old, so bidens closing remark to the older and confused guy was a clapback of no i knew you werent voting for me your too old, yuck, yuck. as in giving it back to the the troll."

no biggie, but someone who actually watches clip a couple times will note the theme of biden response, from the you are a damn liar, to get your facts straight, and again to the "look, facts" that i guess someone on fox decided was biden calling someone fat. no biggie, but this confrontation wont hurt joe biden and after thinking it over i cant imagine it being handled much better.

Yep, pretty much exactly what happened, but both the far left and the right will twist it to fit their narrative. Just like the faux outrage over poor little Baron. Barf.

Agree, the extremes are scary. It makes me wonder how their brain works. Are they actually so deluded that they truly believe the conspiracy garbage if it fits their narrative? Or do they realize that what they are putting out there is insane but they justify it as a means to an end? I guess the answer is probably both depending on the individual.

Not sure why you are posting this today since these numbers are virtually unchanged since Aug 2017:

Arizona -3 to -2 today
Fla -1 to +1
Iowa -11 to -13
Mich -16 to -14
NC Even to -2
Ohio -8 to -5
Pa -10 to -7
Wi -15 to -14

They are terrible numbers for a guy shepherding an economy this strong, but they have been terrible for 2+ years. Is this the fist you have seen of Morning Consult polling?

He's killing farmers with the tariffs...there's Iowa, Wisconsin and parts of Michigan.

He has don't anything to bring the jobs back to the Rust Belt as he promised...there's the rest of Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Not at all, but in two years of a very good economy and low unemployment, with one year to go to Election Day, how does he make up any ground in the battleground states that he won by the skin of his teeth?

A lot depends on his opponent

I am just surprised you are ‘stunned’ today by a polling decline that happened 2.5 years ago.
Ken is correct, a lot will depend on the opponent and on whether or not the economy declines (which I believe is long overdue and very likely to happen). Absent that, it’s worth noting that he won despite having a national favor ability rating in the mid 30s last time though I assume he was polling better than that in the battleground states (though I don’t know how much better).

Are you stunned that he's stunned though?

LOL. Surprised, not stunned.

So he calls the guy "sedentary", challenges him to a pushup contest, then switches away from insulting his appearance to asking him to "look, facts..."? The level of delusion is staggering.

A group of children observing all laughed among themselves at "look, fat". Kids can see it. Somehow MSNBC viewers can't. Funny.

Automation is an important issue and it's good Yang is bringing attention to it. I don't think it is big enough in the minds of most voters to have them vote for Yang as essentially a single issue candidate. Then again, Sanders' platform rests very heavily on a single issue too--health care.
