The Baris Thanksgiving Poll [Dave in Fla]
Rich Baris just released his most recent poll just prior to Thanksgiving. I want to take a look at two interesting results regarding voting preference and COVID.
Before I start, let me comment about how Baris does his polling. While he does work for individual clients, he gets most of the funding for his polling operations through crowd sourcing. This means that he is not beholden to the client for providing results they want to hear, or not reporting aspects of the internals that would work against the client's agenda. The result is that Baris has been arguably the most accurate pollster since before 2016. He was exactly right on the Florida 2018 results, his state polling during 2020 was much more accurate than any of the media polls, and he nailed the results of the 2021 Virginia governor's race. Not only did he predict the outcome exactly, he also exactly predicted the demographic turnout and votes by race, gender, and region. I am about to borrow a good bit from his reporting tool, and I highly recommend that you support his work. If you want to do so, the best way to follow and support him is at peoplespundit.locals.com. He is doing great work and is shaming the industry into cleaning up their act, by being consistently correct, while they are consistently wrong. While I understand the sentiment that some of you have regarding the accuracy of polling, this one really is different. Lumping Baris' work with the trash from Fox or CNN is being intellectually dishonest.The Methodology
The poll is based on 2414 registered voters nationwide. This is a strong sample size to begin with, the most recent CNN poll (with a +5 Dem result) was only 859 registered voters. In general, a high confidence national poll needs a minimum sample of 1200 respondents. However, Baris goes further in getting his sample. He is always looking for representative samples from all demographic groups. Some groups are hard to sample, such as middle-aged working white men in rural areas, where it is very easy to get urban white women with graduate degrees. This means that he keeps sampling until he has enough response from all the target subgroups to be valid. He stops sampling subgroups when their "quota" is filled. His demographic targets are based on consumer research. Bottom line is this is as good as you can get in national polling. His 95% confidence level is legit. I'm going to highlight two portions of his results, electoral preference and COVID. If you aren't interested in election polling, be sure to read the COVID section. Electoral Results and Analysis Baris is finding similar results to the latest polling from other firms. This gives some credibility that those polls were probably performed legitimately, and this is now the 6th poll in the last 3 weeks showing an unheard-of lead for Republicans in the generic congressional ballot. The following shows the results for both 2022 congressional preference, but also polls a 2024 matchup between Trump and Biden.
There are several interesting takeaways from these results. First, he is finding the GOP with an 8-point lead over the Democrats. He is also finding Trump with an 8-point lead over Biden. There were a couple comments on Tuesday about generic candidate doing better than an actual named candidate, but these results show that thinking is suspect. You can't be less generic than Trump vs. Biden. Every voter in the country has an opinion about them. The level of support for both is lower than the generic ballot though. 20% of the voters want someone else. By the way, Harris polls even worse against Trump, he leads her by 10.5 points.
There are a couple subgroup results I found interesting. The only group that Biden leads with is 18-24 year olds. However, generic Democrat is losing in every age group including the youth vote. I also find it fascinating the difference between the 18-24 and 25-29 groups. Generic Republican goes up 5 points, but Trump goes up 10 points. This seems to indicate that once the youth finally get off the campuses and enter the real world, their willingness to support Trump rises significantly.
The source of weakness for Trump is in the 65+ subgroup. While generic Republican wins the seniors 6 points, Trump barely breaks even. These are the most reliable voters, so Trump either needs to find a way to get their vote or have a high turnout election to maximize the votes from the 40-49 and 50-64 groups, where he has a huge lead.
Since my last post looked at women voting, here is the breakdown by gender in the poll.
As expected, the preference for both Republicans and Trump is driven by men. Women do still prefer both by about 3 points, but it much lower than the 13-point lead seen with men. I see a lot of "Let's Go Brandon" bumper stickers on trucks around here. This could be an understatement of women's support for the GOP too. The social undesirability effect is still out there, and they could by lying to pollsters.
COVID
Rich started polling about vaccine adverse effects back in September when he was trying to examine the VAERS database and finding the results did not match Phizer records that he had access to. He believed that the VAERS system was being severely under reported, and his polling confirmed that.
These results are troubling
Baris is finding that 5.2% of respondents have had severe reactions to the vaccines. There is no political bias in this reporting, with all political affiliations reporting at close to the same rate. According to the CDC, 182 million people have received a full vaccine course. This means that 9.4 million people have had a severe reaction that prevented daily activity. This does not include people who have died from the vaccine, since they aren't answering polls.
Also, according to the CDC, 769 thousand people have died from COVID in the US. Out of a population of 330 million, this puts the risk of dying of COVID at 0.23%.
The risk comparison between the two groups means that by taking the vaccine, you are increasing your risk by 2260%. This is made worse by moving to a booster regime. From a pure probability perspective, by the time you get to the 8th booster, your odds of a severe reaction are 50%. An argument might be that if you didn't have a reaction to the first two, you won't have a reaction to the boosters. This is possible but recall there are confirmed cases of people who had no reaction to the first two shots, who died from the booster.
It should surprise no one, that despite these risk factors, the main Karens in the country are Democrats. Mandates are very unpopular in the US. But over 60% of Democrats support mandates with employees being fired and severe fines for companies that don't comply.
Who is the Fascist now?
Republicans and Independents are against mandates, with over 50% of both groups strongly against them. This shows the very authoritarian streak that runs through the Democrat party of today. Thankfully mandate support remains under 40% overall.
Overall, this is a really good and informative poll. Rich Baris is doing yeoman's work, and single handedly pulling the polling industry out of the gutter it has been in since 2010. If you don't follow him yet on Locals, Youtube, Rumble, or Twitter, I recommend that you do so.

No, silly. He was the host of the Gong Show.
Dave in FL, as one of those who placed polling slightly above phrenology as a science, Baris' work is interesting. I really like the crowdsourced aspect to it as well, because I've noticed that even though all those other 'polls' got it 'wrong', they never get fired. That tells me that they're not getting it 'wrong' for their real clients. One thing's for sure, those clients aren't us.

I've been saying for a while now that everyone I know has a story about someone in their circle being harmed by the clot shot.
If the numbers are 5% have a serious reaction that would be about right (since most people know 20 other people).
Sure this is anecdotal, but if the clot shot is "safe" in the same sense that say the childhood vaccines are, you would on average know no one harmed by it

The problem is, no one would pay to see my Aunt Effie on screen."

That presumes everyone's been exposed at this point...which is probably accurate based on what blood testing for antibody has been showing.
Though of course the 770K death number is highly suspect.

A couple of things hurt Trump with the seniors--a) that group is more into TV as a source for news which has been overwhelmingly negative for Trump, and b) Boomers are replacing Silents as the Silents are dying out. From my memory, Boomers are more Democratic than Silents.
The idea of lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc. also appeal more to elderly retirees who do not have to work or have kids in school and view Covid as a death sentence. So this could be a Republican/Democrat policy split--Republicans viewed as opening up and Dems viewed as closing down due to Covid.

You keep saying it but it's wildly wrong. The stolen election, the election where America chose Trump but the elite foisted Biden, is the most important starting point for a conversation about Biden's administration, especially when it comes to a re-election argument.
"You didn't want this. They wanted to deny you your choice so badly that they gave you Biden, and what do we have for it? Crippling inflation? A disaster in Afghanistan? No borders? If you want to undo what they forced upon you, the first thing you have to do as a people is ensure election integrity, or else they'll just steal it again."

Half the "hospitalized due to COVID" number turned out to actually be people diagnosed with COVID after being admitted to the hospital with something else.
My baseline assumption then is half the people that the government claimed died from COVID also actually died from something else with COVID.

Anyone look into the media trying to pivot from Rittenhouse to Chrystul Kizer, a black woman who, as a child, shot and killed her white pimp/sex abuser?
Trying to say if Rittenhouse went free on self defense, she should too. Leaving out all the inconvenient details...she lived elsewhere, and went to his house with a gun, burned his house down (with his body in it) after shooting and killing him, stole his car to get away, but didn't go to the police. Just posted on social media and hung out with friends.
Other than that, though, identical. Will be interesting to see if this case gets the full MSM apology/misinformation tour.

Trump keeps alluding to the "stolen" election. If keeps prominently on that path, he loses.
This is why I strongly support DeSantis as the candidate. Relitigating the 2020 election as your main campaign issue is not the path to victory.
And although Trump was a great visionary, he was terrible at personnel decisions. Just his appointment of Jeff Sessions crippled his presidency - the idiot agreed to a special counsel. No Democrat AG would have been so stupid.

I have always considered pollsters in three groups-
Commercial organizations who make their money from consumer surveys, and have a strong incentive and organizational capability to get things right
Colleges no one would ever hear about (lookin' at you, Quim-pee-ack) who use this for publicity and Money
Politically aligned polling organizations

Funny case in point: GOPe Jim Bognet, who's running again as an establishment spoiler candidate (backed by Liz Cheney) has photoshopped Trump into an ad with him, along with a pretend quote that Trump endorsed him.

The election integrity thing is a mess, and a critical one.
Trump referring to a "stolen" election is not a loser approach, necessarily. More importantly, it's absolutely not established that an informed person can have any confidence in the official results.
In fact the main net impression, so far, is that our system, which is simply not set up to deal with what may well have happened, failed across the board.
There are gigantic billows of smoke rivaling those from the Krakatoa detonation, most here are familiar with them. The problem is that so far no investigation has been done to determine if there's fire underneath, or precisely how much and what kind, where.

5% severe reaction from getting the shot?
Doesn't that fall under the term Hobson's Choice?
Then again we in the military were forced to take the six shot Anthrax regime that had a 30% reaction rate before the company retooled. Afterwards the GAO found the reaction rate jumped to 70%.

Get real. It polls terribly with just about every group. It's one thing to say you are for electoral integrity and point that out with material facts and changes that have been made- and why. It's completely another to say it was "stolen" and keep throwing that around like a personal grudge-punchline instead of a material issue.
The GOP should be working this issue, and is in some cases. But it's not enough and they are counting on state legislatures to do the heavy lifting.
People want to know how Trump, or the GOP is going to make their lives better and where they stand on the issues. Neither has done that to any considerable degree yet. I'll say it again, if Trump goes off on these meaningless distractions and seemingly narcissistic diversion, he loses. The man needs to be disciplined to win.
And to be clear, he runs, I am voting for him. But people like me are not enough to win.

Unless he decides not to run Trump is the nominee. He's also pretty good at messaging and marketing.
If a bright light is not shined on the election process and things that happened in 2016 are allowed to happen again it doesn't much matter who the nominee is.

One of the reasons Trump won is that he was willing to say, and keep saying, the things the media refuses to acknowledge, and give voice to the truths they want silenced. I don’t think that has changed.
That the election was stolen is an important truth. Where he loses is if he merely talks about it and doesn’t devise a counter to it happening again.

By the way, Trump has an unbelievable list of accomplishments. There are so many truly historic events it's hard to keep count. Perhaps if Trump stuck to that last year, we would not be having this conversation- or suffering under this regime. There were too many distractions across the board, and not enough focus on important issues like electoral integrity. Ergo, the GOP took it in the keyster.

94 By the way, Trump has an unbelievable list of accomplishments. There are so many truly historic events it's hard to keep count. Perhaps if Trump stuck to that last year, we would not be having this conversation- or suffering under this regime. There were too many distractions across the board, and not enough focus on important issues like electoral integrity. Ergo, the GOP took it in the keyster.

These strong poll numbers might be why Allahpundit has an article up today "For cripes sake: Never Trumpers should not be rooting for Trump to run again". I can't decide which group is worse: the NeverTrumpers that don't want Trump to run, because they're RINOs, or the ones that want him to run, because they think he'll lose, and they can retake the party for RINOs (or because they're actually Democrats).

There's a lot of suggestive evidence, some of it spectacular actually (the county in GA with obviously invalid duplicate ballots counted). But critically, so far, it's mostly still smoke - AZ's counted ballots don't match registrations that can be verified as real people, Braynard - in a matter of weeks, using only public info - found more invalid counted ballots in NV and GA than the official margins, of course no way to know which way those ballots "voted".
That the election could have been close enough to be stolen, even with large fraud, actually was a stunning indictment.
The horrible polling for Biden only darkens the picture further. What kind of idiot would vote for that vile non-entity, and then, child-like, be unhappy and surprised that his administration has delivered such idiocy and misery, so quickly? The kind that now more/less dominates life in what was once the USA.

I noticed on my last gas bill the price per therm here in northern Illinois had jumped from 28 cents last November to 68 cents per therm this month; since it was still summer usage, not that noticeable an increase. But when winter kicks in....... hoo boy, even the brain-dead Karenwaffe are going to notice THAT one.

Trump keeps alluding to the "stolen" election. If keeps prominently on that path, he loses.
I respectfully disagree. The election was stolen, and every audit and lawsuit since then has increasingly proven it. I am not saying Teh Donald should make it the centerpoint of his campaign (frankly, he should steal Reagan's line about 'are you better off?'), but sweeping aside the blatant theft of 2020 - aided and abetted by an utterly corrupt MFM and a gutless GOP - as just 'average politics' lays the groundwork for handwaving away any future Democrat theft.
2020 was a stolen election. Biden and his tyrannical junta are illegitimate and resistance to them is the highest form of patriotism. Shout it loud, shout it proud and shove it down the left's throats until they choke.

I've yet to see a single Republican primary poll where Trump is not leading by significant double digits. In some he is leading his closest competitor which is usually DeSantis by over 20 points.
Show me another Republican who can announce a rally in East Overshoe, Iowa for a week later and have 30,000 people show up.
Trump has won the presidency twice. He certainly has the support to win it 3 times.

"This case is about whether Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services regulations can abollish representative government in the creation f public health laws, ans whether it can authorize closure of a schol or assembly based on the unfettered op0inion of an unelected official. This Ciourt finds it cannot.

This decision also quotes Montesquieu:
"When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty; becuase apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner"

If Trump doesn't harp on the election being stolen (which it was), he gets painted as a "loser". Either you understand strategy or you do not.
Same reason Trump alluded to the size of his junk during a debate. Running against a woman, they were absolutely going to emasculate him eventually by talking about his small wiener. That is effective persuasion that there is ZERO rebuttal for against a woman. He got out in front because he is *smart*.

It's one thing to believe a legitimate president is doing poorly. It's another to see a president you don't think should be there at all messing things up on purpose.
Biden is making no more friends as weeks pass, and he's just increasing his number of enemies. He's beholden to Leftist Twitter on literally everything he does, so he can never back down from outright communism and the worst excesses of social justice.
The counterpoint, "Biden shouldn't have been there at all because Democrats stole the election," is actually a great one because it animates people, highlighting the things they know are true but aren't allowed to say. The argument is that if Biden hadn't stolen the election, you'd be better off. So, don't let the next one get stolen.

The idea of lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc. also appeal more to elderly retirees who do not have to work or have kids in school and view Covid as a death sentence. So this could be a Republican/Democrat policy split--Republicans viewed as opening up and Dems viewed as closing down due to Covid.
-----------------
All these are true. Boomers are still the voting block that matters, so getting them on board is big for Trump. I'd say the Boomers have 2-3 more presidential election cycles before their influence wanes. They will not go silently into that good night.

And so long as the election remains uninvestigated, down to the nibs, to the level where something concrete and particular can be documented, referring to the "stolen election" is effectively another Dolchstosslegende, a core myth uniting one side but alienating them from the everyone else.
The "smoke" - key states shutting down for the first time in history, election results varying in unprecedented fashion between battleground metros and others, or between entire states and select dominant metros (WI), every historical pattern being violated (bellwether counties), crude and outrageous Third World fraud-ish behavior at counting centers (PA and MI and NV), suggestive concrete tidbits like the GA county with the laughably fraudulent duplicate ballots - as I said, is enormous.
The country needs the fire to be documented or disproven. But only serious people, and a few Trump voters, want this to happen. The sloppy US presidential election system finally failed, all institutions and safeguards failed. But of course most just want to "move on", as though that makes any sense.

A lot of people think he should be made Speaker, if the House goes to Republicans in 2022. (Speaker doesn't have to be an elected representative.)

Tradition is important and we conservatives are big on tradition, but I would not mind the GOP trying something unique with respect to the Speaker. Not Trump per se, but I could potentially see some benefits. Will never happen of course, but would be interesting to see how it would play out.

Good article in the Federalist by Margot Cleveland today about the Georgia election corruption and Kemp finally help expose it.
Trump will talk about issues such as inflation, the border, fossil fuels, etc. but I don't there are all that many who are confused on where he stands on any of them. But I am as enraged and motivated about the stolen election as I am about any other issue and if the election wasn't stolen none of those issues would even be on the table.

Two things, Boomer replacement of Silents--Boomers are more Democratic as are their chirren--Millennials. Covid policies would be a second reason.
However, if a huge inflationary wave on basic food products etc. becomes entrenched, retirees are most at risk especially if the stock market stagnates along with other fixed assets as happened in the 70's--stagflation is a real thing. So that might change things a bit.

I understand Trump's weakness with 65+ from watching my mom. She's very philosophically consevative but trusts the Big Three news networks implicitly and get all of her news from them.
For example - years ago she told me Trump was an anti-semite. "His daughter married a Jew, who is one of his advisors" I said. "Oh." She said. She'd never heard that.
She's also very swayed by mean-looking pictures of candidates.

The counterpoint, "Biden shouldn't have been there at all because Democrats stole the election," is actually a great one because it animates people, highlighting the things they know are true but aren't allowed to say. The argument is that if Biden hadn't stolen the election, you'd be better off. So, don't let the next one get stolen.

Not to mention, what did they do to you after you dared to protest it? They arrested you, some of you had the FBI track you down to question you, some of you were thrown in prison and tortured. The rest of you were forced to submit to a shot or lose your jobs. They stole your right to vote, they stole your freedom and they stole your jobs. That is just the tip of the iceberg if you let them remain in power.

He didn't do national polling in 2020. He focused on states only. He was dead right on WI, NC, PA, TX, and FL. He missed on AZ by 2 points, but is suspicious of those results because of the audit results.

Thanks for the analysis. Baris is the one I was watching on Election night 2020 (sorry for bringing that memory back) and leading up to it. I just signed up for an annual membership to support the great work. Covid data is really interesting...wonder why no other pollster thought to do something like this. Wait a minute, no I don't. That's why I needed to support People's Pundit.

My father has a bad reaction and is now in rehab and we hope it will all be better, but it's unclear if this is a covid reaction or a vaccine reaction but they're saying vaccine reaction but he got covid right after his second shot.

The take on the 2020 elections is one of those things hard to predict the effect on 2024. If Biden continues to wander around in a leftist direction with ensuing damage to the US, then all bad things will stick to him including the election of 2020.
Plus, the number of people believing the election of 2020 was shady is about 50 percent or more recently so people (other than Dem ideologues), do change their perceptions as more information comes to light.
Is it by itself a winning message, no-but a simple comparison of are you better off than you were in 2020 is pretty devastating to the incumbent under current conditions.
Way too early to tell. The truth on appointments is that GOPe in the Senate and former Bush admin retreads ARE not conservative and that includes McConnell. They are as Con Inc. Media is--conservative on the outside, left leaning grifters on the inside.

Oh, bullshit. Nobody is trying to demoralize anyone. What does that is garbage like "the election was stolen and they're going to do it again. So don't vote".
What I am saying is that reasonable people are tired of the pummeling. They want to know what you are going to do, an how you are going to do it. How are you actually working on preventing election fraud and what's our role in that?
Trump has a lot of specifics he can fall back on, real world examples that actually tell the story. What I am saying is stick to it and leave all the other hijinx behind. Hot them hard- with facts and realities, what works and what clearly does not. What will make everyone's life better, and what has crushed them. That's it.

Most that I know in this age group are completely unreachable; they live in a universe where the nice man on the TV tells them what's happening and who the bad guys are.

Not to mention, what did they do to you after you dared to protest it? They arrested you, some of you had the FBI track you down to question you, some of you were thrown in prison and tortured. The rest of you were forced to submit to a shot or lose your jobs. They stole your right to vote, they stole your freedom and they stole your jobs. That is just the tip of the iceberg if you let them remain in power.

CFR (remember that?) has now dropped to 1.6% ( = 0.16% IFR) and has been under 2.0% since last December. Flu is 1.0%/0.1% CFR/IFR.

Notice when the CFR rate spiked? From 2 weeks to slow the spread through end of May (which was really the end of a total nationwide lockdown panic), the CFR trippled!

"Nobody is trying to demoralize anyone. "
You spent the two weeks prior to Virginia telling everyone it was all a mirage. You spend most of your time letting everyone know voting is pointless.
I can agree that Trump needs to be smarter. He won the first time because he made himself our champion. He had fun and brought us along for the ride. We need more of that. His problem during the second election was that he made us his battering ram. He alienated absolutely everyone. He does need to fix those things.
If you believe that, then say it. Your schtick has been a whisper campaign to undermine Trump and suggest we leave him behind. I'll support Desantis or Trump if they win the primary. I won't hold it against someone for supporting Desantis over Trump. I have a problem with friendly fire that appears to come with a motive.

The country needs the fire to be documented or disproven. But only serious people, and a few Trump voters, want this to happen. The sloppy US presidential election system finally failed, all institutions and safeguards failed. But of course most just want to "move on", as though that makes any sense.

The noted English economist David Ricardo wrote a colleague in Philadelphia about 1810 when he noticed that most American banks had issued loans and bank-notes above and beyond their bullion reserves, and he wanted to know why the customers of the banks did not immediately make a run on the bank in a panicked attempt to save something from the guaranteed bankruptcies.
His colleague replied that everyone has most of their money in the bank or in the paper currency, and if they caused a run they would lose everything.

Trump has a lot of specifics he can fall back on, real world examples that actually tell the story. What I am saying is stick to it and leave all the other hijinx behind. Hot them hard- with facts and realities, what works and what clearly does not. What will make everyone's life better, and what has crushed them. That's it.
Posted by: Marcus T at November 24, 2021 01:18 PM (VpIIl)
I mostly agree with you, but again, I have to say that IMO Trump must bring up the stolen election. NOT make it a centerpoint, yes, but he has to bring it up because it was stolen, the steal has had real-life consequences both economically (food / gas prices) and personally (January 6 prisoners) and hand-waving away an outright act of treason is simply telling the Dems that the right has no stomach to move against them for a coup that overthrew the Republic.
A stolen election has to have consequences, or it will happen again. I don't know how much clearer I can make this.

the "Trump is gonna Trump" thing is what helped save him.
The msm tried to convince us that this well-known celebrity of 70 years was a Russian spy, and nobody bought it.
===
Right. I mean he's the StayPuft marshmallow man of politics. The media chose the form of their destructor when the let him glide through the primary, thinking he would be easy for Hillary to beat.
He kept more campaign promises that most politicians, despite being surrounded by wolves and traitors.
Plus, he's fun. Period. Full stop.

"This means that 9.4 million people have had a severe reaction that prevented daily activity."
What exactly does that mean? So if you feel really weak or tired the day after the shot and you stay home -- "prevented daily activity" -- that counts as "severe" reaction? The good old flu shot could knock you on your ass too. But nobody bitched and moaned and whined and complained about that.
Don't get me wrong: I think whether or not to get the shot should be up to you and only you. I'm against any kind of mandate. I was against any kind of lockdown. I think CV19 is 99% a political hoax. But some of the anti-vaxx hysteria is just as bad as the Covid Cultist bullshit.

Both generations think of themselves as generations of destiny which is largely a creation of the media and factory model public schooling.
It seems that every generation immediately behind a generation of destiny is a bit more cynical about the previous generation.
If you are interested in that sort of generational politics, one guy that is pretty sharp is Walter Dean Burnham discussing realignments of politics in history. Others focus on a great metacycle of actions over time.

If you bring it up in that context and talk about what's being done to restore integrity, I believe a lot more people will listen.

My mom voted for Obama because it was great for a black man to be president ("You don't know what they went through, what it was like during the 50s and 60s" she said). And she voted for Biden because she firmly believes that Trump is stupid and racist.

All he needs to do is remind the 65+ demographic that the Democrat Party worked to kill them by the tens of thousands with their nursing home COVID policies. Not to mention kept their families away from them while they were dying. Not to mention denied them known successful treatments of HCQ, Ivermectin and monoclonal antibodies and lied about their effectiveness. Then also cheered on the Waukesha killer when he killed them with his SUV.
For everyone else, all he needs to say is "How am I going to make things better for you? I'm going to enact the same America-first policies I did from 2017 through FEB 2020 which ushered in the greatest economy in history."

285 Trump has a lot of specifics he can fall back on, real world examples that actually tell the story. What I am saying is stick to it and leave all the other hijinx behind. Hot them hard- with facts and realities, what works and what clearly does not. What will make everyone's life better, and what has crushed them. That's it.

Marcus T, no insult but campaigns are run on rhetoric versus dialectic. A chicken in every pot is rhetoric. Discussing inflation rates on basic goods is dialectic. Dialectic is the fatal disease politically of persuasion of the masses.
Smart people like dialectic and deride leaders that use rhetoric such as China flu etc. However, rhetoric is what any leader of a country relies upon to reach down to the emotions of a mass of citizens. That is why the best leaders are bilingual and can speak dialectic to smart people and rhetoric to the masses and the best of them rely on dialectic to set up their rhetoric.

My mom is 80 and the news calling Trump racist really works with her. We were raised pretty conservative (I don't know how my parents ever voted though) and with the belief that racism was a great evil (the 'n-word' was right up there with the 'f-word' in my family).
My mom voted for Obama because it was great for a black man to be president ("You don't know what they went through, what it was like during the 50s and 60s" she said). And she voted for Biden because she firmly believes that Trump is stupid and racist.

Yeah. My mom, not a hippy, died this year at 89. She couldn't stand Trump. But she couldn't stand Romney either. Basically, people of a certain age, believe everything the media says. She never liked Hillary but that was left over from the Bill Clinton years when you couldn't help but notice was a freaking Beeyatch Hilllary was.

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised by the 65+ numbers. It doesn't seem to comport with what I'm seeing, I guess.
I'm well over 29 and I thought the same until 3 years ago. Almost all my older friends are hard-core conservatives. But my eyes were opened when I signed-up for a foreign policy discussion group that meets at a local church. It's a big group - over 100 people - that breaks-into groups of 20 each week to discuss a pre-determined topic. About half of the people were 60 or older. The group across all age-levels was a hive of anti-Trumpist liberals. I stopped attending after 2 years.

In 2007 - during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech - Al Gore predicted the ice cap of the Northern arctic would disappear because of man-made global warming. He even went one step further and said the ice would be gone in seven years - by 2014.

RE: 65+ not liking Trump
The great state of the economy under Trump didn't affect them like it does younger people. Same with the lousy state of the economy now. My mom is completely unaware of either. She's done earning now she just spends and doesn't go to the store often enough to notice the shortages.
Her news never reported any good news during the Trump admin - No peace deal with Israel and the Saudis, no record low unemployment for minorities, no not-starting wars, etc. but it hammered stupid and non-existent problems and theories about Trump non-stop.

"Also, according to the CDC, 769 thousand people have died from COVID in the US. Out of a population of 330 million, this puts the risk of dying of COVID at 0.23%."
This is CRAP statistics. Not all 330 million people in the U.S. have been exposed to covid. The risk of dying from covid is somewhere between 769K/#of confirmed cases and 769K/330 million.
Not everyone who had covid was tested for it, so official risk of dying based on confirmed cases will overestimate the risk IMO. But people who were going only .00x of people are dying back in early 2020 when only a few percent of people had been exposed yet drove me crazy and even today it is completely wrong to use total population for risk of dying.

They've know all this for a year, now, and are slowly closing the net. You don't hear much about it, but the same sort of thing in PA and MI.
So I think its a coordinated strategy/rollout

Regarding Marcus T in general, he is one of the good un's and not a troll.
Contrary opinions are always valuable because they can cause us to reevaluate our own opinions and upon what axioms we are using to buttress our own opinions.
As far as myself, I am agnostic over whether Trump or someone else is the better candidate for the GOP in 2024. As I have repeatedly said, we are in the era of abnormal politics so just as normal psychology does not apply to abnormal folks, ordinary political guides are less useful as predictors in abnormal times.
When some conspiracy theories prove to be true like the Russia hoax, then everything is up for re-evaluation by the wise.

The "strength" of the sample also comes from how it's taken, right? Not just raw numbers?
So 2,000 samples across multiple demographics is more accurate than 10,000 samples taken from one ward of one city

Correct. You need a sample size of at least 1200 and the correct demographic breakdown that represents the area being polled.

Dems always claim there are uncounted votes after any election they are behind by the late evening of election day - usually these uncounted vote totals are typically from 2% to 5% and are always from very populous blue precincts.
However, when faced with near certainty that they will pay a consequence, with Republican election lawyers on the ground at these precincts, and that their theft will be reported and legally challenged, the Dems back off and back down. This happened in Long Island for the Nassau Cty Executive race, and in South Jersey for the state senate race.

What exactly does that mean? So if you feel really weak or tired the day after the shot and you stay home -- "prevented daily activity" -- that counts as "severe" reaction?
A woman I know tells me that since she got the clot shot she's felt weird tingling sensations over her body that come and go in waves. Presumably this is some sort of nerve damage. And she regrets getting it.
Severe? Its not stopping her from daily activities - so presumably the 5% self reporting here have more serious issues like heart damage/stroke after effects/etc.

Kamala got the same treatment. And then she had to start showing up in public.
I have seen nothing to indicate that Michelle has anything like a common touch. I don't think she's nearly as dumb as Kamala, so she's got that going for her. However, she only flourishes in highly controlled situations, which are much harder to manufacture on a campaign trail, and she's not going to just get the nomination handed to her.
People keep thinking that Democrats, especially at that level, just fall in line and follow orders. 2020 showed that as hilariously wrong. Otherwise, Kamala would have been the nominee based on the early push the establishment gave her starting in early 2019. They're all paper tigers with knifes out to get each other.

He's not arguing hypotheticals. He's arguing specifics and reality. Politics is about emotion, and, "Well, Biden just ran the better campaign last time. Oh well, we'll try again," doesn't inspire anything. "Biden stole your country from you for his own graft and to make you suffer for trying to hold yourselves up," is much better.

Saying that 'the election was stolen', while powerful, isn't enough. Trump needs to make a simple, coherent case that it was. The MSM screaming that it wasn't at every turn like a mantra just tells you that they really, really don't want this delved into in any detail. This is why Durham is so important. If he shows that the predicate is fake, it sets up everything else for the LIV. We already know it, of course.
Now, to Marcus' point, you need to give people a reason to vote for you as well. A counterfactual (2nd Trump term), even if true, isn't enough. You show enough institutional corruption with the Dems, and 'burn it down, salt the earth, and start over' will be a winning slogan with everyone.

Not really pep, the masses more or less do not spend time thinking about political matters and they do not base their thinking on axioms but rather experience. This is similar to the way that expert information is processed.
Read Yankelovich who was a pollster back in the day and his book Coming to Public Judgment. People in general have outcome preferences but not policy preferences. When presented with novel information, public polling produces indecisive results. However, over time, based on experience, the public at large can reach a verdict on policies and political figures based on experience that is both stable and durable that is usually quite sound.

Did he predict Trump won WI, PA?

In polling, predicting who wins is not the measure of accuracy. It is how close you got the final numbers.
Baris had Trump by 1 in WI, the final "official" number was Biden by 0.0001% (or whatever 20K votes is). His Trump +1 was a lot closer than the ABC Biden +11 that dropped just before the election.
Even taking out the noise from cheating, you can see that he called those states correctly.

"Roman" is the French term for Novel. Livre is the word for book
I believe it had something to do with the Romantic movement but I am not sure.
Don Quixote by Cervantes and The Celestina by Rojas may be the first modern novels

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised by the 65+ numbers. It doesn't seem to comport with what I'm seeing, I guess.
My in-laws are in this group. The Democrats are foresquare against every thing they believe, but they watch the news, so they vote Democrat. It's gotten so bad I cannot stand to be around them anymore. Gotta get through tomorrow. If I hear one word about "crossing state lines" or "17 year old vigilante" I'm gonna lose it and shove a turkey up someone's ass.

For everyone else, all he needs to say is "How am I going to make things better for you? I'm going to enact the same America-first policies I did from 2017 through FEB 2020 which ushered in the greatest economy in history."

That's going to be difficult to do now. No will want to invest thinking that in four years the dems could steal another election(s) and make all investments a waste. With continuity of economic policy and the trust in those policies broken by this junta, people just aren't going to respond the same.

To continue, the general public (apart from ideologues) use inferential logic based on what they see in their experiences. Ideologues based their logic on deduction by applying axioms to evaluate empirical evidence.

So I know the cheated. I knew it the next day. It couldn't explain it or establish an argument except on circumstances. However, at this point, with Dave's data, and the work of others, its pretty obvious what they did and how. However, its gotten to the point where nobody will do anything about it because talking about a do over, a year after the fact. Most court's will just say, its a political issue and let another election or two solve it.
Its the same reason the Judge would direct a verdict for Kyle, although he had every legal reason to do so. He had every practical and political reason not to do so. Judges will NOT be our salvation. Not.

Same with my mom. I think part of her conservatism is believing what "the authorities" tell her. And she's old enough that she considers the Big Three networks to be authorities and anyone who disagrees with them to be a conspiracy nut.

I'm not old. Cranky, though... Perhaps *just* a little. But I don't care for this anymore than any other soap opera. Elections matter as much as Days of Our Restless Lives or whatever the ladies watch.
I suppose I prefer Trump inasmuch as its less boring than the old incontinent duffer, but it makes no difference to how Jarrett and her Statist goons run America.

They've know all this for a year, now, and are slowly closing the net. You don't hear much about it, but the same sort of thing in PA and MI.
So I think its a coordinated strategy/rollout

When their coordinated strategy/rollout reaches its triumphant conclusion. We all can share a toast - of swill in the camps where we've been herded by the regime

Trump keeps alluding to the "stolen" election. If keeps prominently on that path, he loses.
I respectfully disagree. The election was stolen, and every audit and lawsuit since then has increasingly proven it. I am not saying Teh Donald should make it the centerpoint of his campaign (frankly, he should steal Reagan's line about 'are you better off?'), but sweeping aside the blatant theft of 2020 - aided and abetted by an utterly corrupt MFM and a gutless GOP - as just 'average politics' lays the groundwork for handwaving away any future Democrat theft.
2020 was a stolen election. Biden and his tyrannical junta are illegitimate and resistance to them is the highest form of patriotism. Shout it loud, shout it proud and shove it down the left's throats until they choke.

Every election in the US since forever has been stolen. Every inner city machine has been stuffing boxes while discouraging voting to win control of the surrounding states. This must be crushed out now.

Just for the record, the drug companies have admitted that half of the shots are placebos. Which may well be an understatement, but if you take them at their word, you can double the Adverse Events reports and double the risk estimate.

This is CRAP statistics. Not all 330 million people in the U.S. have been exposed to covid. The risk of dying from covid is somewhere between 769K/#of confirmed cases and 769K/330 million.
Not everyone who had covid was tested for it, so official risk of dying based on confirmed cases will overestimate the risk IMO. But people who were going only .00x of people are dying back in early 2020 when only a few percent of people had been exposed yet drove me crazy and even today it is completely wrong to use total population for risk of dying.
Posted by: PaleRide, unvaxxed and anti-mandate at November 24, 2021 01:41 PM (3cGpq)
The 769 number is also crap. Several CA counties revised down their COVID death numbers by 35 percent. That almost certainly didn't percolate out to the MSM.
