"Trump Is Going to Win:" Swing Staters Prefer Trump
A poll from Kaplan Strategies puts Trump up over Biden by 15 points in Michigan.
Six months ahead of the November election, former President Donald Trump is leading Democrat incumbent Joe Biden by a whopping 15 points in Michigan, a key swing state. According to a Kaplan Strategies survey, the former president polled 51 percent to 36 percent in the battleground state. The margin of error for the survey was plus/minus 3.5 percentage points.Is this a sign of something? Nah. It's an outlier. No other poll shows such a blow-out race. Every other poll has it close in Michigan.
Other polls have also shown varying results for Michigan. An Emerson College/The Hill poll released earlier this week indicated Biden trailing Trump marginally in Michigan (44 percent to 45 percent), while a Bloomberg News and Morning Consult poll suggested Biden ahead of Trump (47 percent to 45 percent).Of course, to be close in Michigan is a coup for a Republican... Also, it's worth pointing out that outlier polls exist. When Marist or MSNBC trumpets a poll showing Biden with a narrow lead in national polling, remember, this Kaplan poll has Trump up by 15 points. There is no #BelieveAllPolls movement. Some are just wrong. The recent polling news for Trump is mostly good. The new Bloomberg poll has Trump ahead, everywhere. What do you mean, "everywhere"? EV-ER-Y-WHER-UH!
That's not the only poll showing Trump ahead -- the Emerson poll has him winning in all seven swing states, too. And I repeat: Trump always gets more votes than his polls suggest. There are a lot of shy -- or browbeaten -- Trump voters who won't tell pollsters they're voting for the Bad Orange Man.

The latest Emerson College/The Hill poll reveals that former President Donald Trump holds a slight edge over President Joe Biden in all seven key swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Key Details: Trump leads Biden by four points in Arizona, three points in Georgia, one point in Michigan, one point in Nevada, five points in North Carolina, and two points in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Independent voters favor Trump over Biden in five of the seven states, with Biden leading among independents in Georgia and Wisconsin. Emerson College/The Hill also included polling of key Senate races in Arizona and Pennsylvania, with Republican candidates Kari Lake and David McCormick steadily gaining over their Democratic opponents in their respective states.A CBS/YouGov poll finds that Trump leads Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and is just behind Biden in Michiganistan. Trump leads -- barely -- in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by a single point in both states, 50-49. He is barely behind Biden, 51-49, in Michiganistan. This poll has a lot of bad news for Biden. Although abortion gives Biden a lift, he's behind on the issue of the economy, and the increasingly-salient question of whether he or Biden had a successful presidency. Voters rating the current economy vs. the economy as they remembered it under the Bad Orange Man:
In Michigan, with the presence of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. the net gap between Mr. Biden and Trump is the same, but Kennedy looks like he's drawing more interest from the kinds of voters backing Trump than backing Mr. Biden. Most of those picking Kennedy in a four-way ballot test backed Trump initially in a two-way race with Mr. Biden, including leaners.This is a problem for Trump. Trump's core voters are a mix of conservatives and old-school blue-collar Kennedy-era disaffected Democrats. With an actual Kennedy in a race, some of those voters defect. Sad:
"Pause."
Never let it be said that Trump isn't an incredibly funny guy. His speeches are like two hour stand-up comedy shows. pic.twitter.com/bXRyGPz9Lf

It was so bad that the polling firms were public about a mea culpa for getting is so bad, but it didn't last long and there's been no news I know of about them changing anything regarding anything they do.

Assuming that's even remotely accurate, only North Carolina is possibly outside a regular effort at cheating. Even that is still achievable if they set their minds to it.
I hope Biden keeps fucking that chicken. For Trump to win it - unless the Party wants him to (or is willing to allow it), anyway, which I think is possible - he needs much, much deeper margins.

I do think it’s funny he made his point and then went on to explain how you just go on if you don’t get the response you were hoping for with the bonus of explaining how his teleprompter works. Even with all that meandering, his mental acuity is running right over Biden’s.

We've had 3.5 years to destroy Trump since the Election. Why aren't we ahead in the polls, and what needs to happen to ensure victory?
The early elections including the one in NY Tuesday prove to me polls are bs. No one paid attention while, for decades, Republicans flooded lower courts with conservative judges. The end of Gerrymandering will help keep states from so much voter suppression.
In the primaries, so far, Trump has lost a lot of voters to Haley and others. This is not a good sign for him. It is a good sign for Biden as he may be able to pick up some of those voters who appear to be never Trumpers.
Most major MSM outlets don't call out Trump's crazy and authoritarian shit.
Because we are "nice" and "go high when they go low". We think it’s in bad taste to do the equivalent of the tan suit or the Swift Boat stuff. We bring pillows to a gunfight.
Agree entirely. The Trump and the R/W message is getting through, but not ours. Trump is given credit for what Biden does well. Biden gets the blame for what Trump messed up. The gravity of what Trump has done is lost.

You can't fix the cheap RDD polling strategy due to cell phones, call screening, etc.
You have to go to list and frame designs. You essentially use the geographic frame with personal interviews to correct errors in the statewide polling list frame to find out the unknowables baked into the cake using phone or internet polling.
I did that for the USDA crop reports to earn money during summers for grad school. Top of the line results but very very expensive as in hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the annual crop report nationally by enumerators.

That's actually interesting. Most people (based on increasingly weird and unreliable statistics) are worse off now than they were in 2019, even 2020. There is a direct, easy comparison between the two with little time distortion. But that also isn't the question.
If I were being honest with a pollster - and I wouldn't be, which is probably why they don't call me - I actually don't know how I would answer this. When the 2024 election comes, I will likely be unemployed and my immediate future is going to be declining regardless of who wins. My intermediate-term prospects are probably better under Trump, though.

Agree entirely. The Trump and the R/W message is getting through, but not ours. Trump is given credit for what Biden does well. Biden gets the blame for what Trump messed up. The gravity of what Trump has done is lost.

48 You can't fix the cheap RDD polling strategy due to cell phones, call screening, etc.
You have to go to list and frame designs. You essentially use the geographic frame with personal interviews to correct errors in the statewide polling list frame to find out the unknowables baked into the cake using phone or internet polling.
I did that for the USDA crop reports to earn money during summers for grad school. Top of the line results but very very expensive as in hundreds of millions of dollars spent on the annual crop report nationally by enumerators.

31 New GOP leadership seems to be focusing on swing states where fraud and electoral irregularities have been a problem. They've won a few lawsuits on poll watchers, mail in ballots and voter registration. Should be interesting in places like Phili. They're setup to catch and challenge any attempts at fraud.
Posted by: Marcus T
Much of the reason that big fraud won in 2020 was that the GOP was actively hostile to fighting it before, during, and after the fact even when those favored the GOP. I came to the conclusion that GOP officeholders and the party infrastructure wanted Trump gone as much as the Dems--over China, endless wars abroad, and open borders.

Michigan voted in 2022 to pass Proposal 2, which puts election cheating into the State Constitution:
Proposal 2 added the following policies to the state constitution:
-- creating a nine-day early voting period;
-- requiring voters to present photo identification or sign an affidavit when voting in person or applying for an absentee ballot;
-- requiring the state to fund a number of absentee ballot dropboxes;
Proposal 2 also added constitutional language saying that "harassing, threatening, or intimidating conduct," as well as laws, regulations, and practices, that have "the intent or effect of denying, abridging, interfering with, or unreasonably burdening the fundamental right to vote" are prohibited.

Truman beats Dewey in 1948 is one of the few counter examples but Dewey sat on his ass and did not do shit on the campaign trail for months like Biden. I don't see Trump doing that.

unconstitutional redistricting NY does.
Posted by: Marcus T

They already did it and pretty much status quo for 24. The losses in Alabama and GA due to Scotus directed racial redistricting were offset by NC gains.
But, no one is really voting for the GOP in the House and Senate from the idea that they will do much of anything. If Trump gets in, it will resemble Nixon in 1972 more than a Reagan wave right now. Might be more of a wave at the Senate level if states like WI, MI, etc are in play.

Being +15 in MI is the sort of lead he'll need in all of the swing states.
However, if we assume that the polls may be cutting his actual lead in half, then he might just have the double-digit lead he needs everywhere in order to beat the cheat.

If we were in the era before, everyone did mail in voting, Trump would win easy.
It’s not so much the fraud, even though that’s there, it’s just who is going to line up and vote for Joe Biden? Nobody. But a mail in ballot? People will fill that out and send it in. It’s zero work.
The biggest factor for when Democrats would win or not, is their turn out the vote effort. Mail in balloting me that so much easier for them.

The GOP is very well positioned to challenge the garbage PA is going to try and quickly move it through the court system, including the federal level. They have learned a lot since their were doinked in the ass last time. Democrats are in danger of getting way too far over their skis and being caught red handed. It's one thing when the courts are trying to catch up on the issues and using that as their premise to allow electoral fraud and unconstitutional irregularities. It's another when the GOP has purposely prepared the ground by bringing suits in advance that force certain decisions. It's not foolproof, but it requires a more detailed and precise ruling due to the prior cases. It's why Democrats are trying to really push the no verification, no ID, no signature match, voting after the election, same day registration, no citizenship validation mail in process. That's their main fraud avenue they feel has untraceable ballots.

This is a problem for Trump. Trump's core voters are a mix of conservatives and old-school blue-collar Kennedy-era disaffected Democrats. With an actual Kennedy in a race, some of those voters defect.

Trump essentially is a Kennedy-era Democrat. Kennedy is, ironically, not.
On the plus side, Trump has a few months to make that differentiation.

Trump needs to win, but also win and then figure out how to ensure the next candidate doesn't have to deal with the same thing he did.
If he doesn't it just delays the takeover about 4 years because even if he can beat the cheat by this magnitude, I don't see how the next guy, even someone I like, like DeSantis, wins next time against it.

That margin was 1.7mil (+23%) in 2004 and 1.26mil (+16%) in 2012. 807k (+9%) in 2016.
A 631k vote margin can easily be made up with votes from all the illegal aliens who invaded Texas over past 4 years.

I expect the official vote totals for 2024, after the public claims Biden is a miserable failure across the board, to show Biden increasing his vote total by at least 10M ballots.
Note I expect this will pair with Biden getting 5-10M less voters voting for him then the 60M or so he actually got in 2020

To some extent, the desperation of teh Dems is that their whole future is Democrat promoted by Ruy Texiera is a dead dream. Texiera himself ( like Fukuyama before him on democracy everywhere) is crawfishing away from that position by claiming that it is because the Democrats forgot to actually act in the people's best interest and rely solely on identity politics.
Trump has the potential to actually realign the polity in 2024 but to do it will have to fight his own party, Dem cheating and lawfare, and the permanent bureaucracy and he does not have time on his side due to term limits and age.

To some extent, the desperation of teh Dems is that their whole future is Democrat promoted by Ruy Texiera is a dead dream. Texiera himself ( like Fukuyama before him on democracy everywhere) is crawfishing away from that position by claiming that it is because the Democrats forgot to actually act in the people's best interest and rely solely on identity politics.
Trump has the potential to actually realign the polity in 2024 but to do it will have to fight his own party, Dem cheating and lawfare, and the permanent bureaucracy and he does not have time on his side due to term limits and age.

Challenge any brain dead Joe Biden NPC voter to give real world examples of the claims they make about President Trump.
The responses will always be bluster followed by assertion followed by ridiculous talking points which were debunked ages ago.

Donald Trump is illegally influencing jurors with his vitality, as compared to our Dear Leader.
So from now on, Trump must campaign with a teleprompter AND all of his speeches must have at least one instance where he says "pause".
Also he must walk more slowly up stairs.

July 2021 Forbes Article: 2020 Election Polls Were The Least Accurate In Decades—Mostly For Underestimating Trump, Report Finds. National polls conducted in the final two weeks of the election were off by an average of 4.5 percentage points, overstating the margin between Trump and now-President Biden (in Biden’s favor) by an average of 3.9 points, according to the report.
...state-level polls were similarly skewed toward the Democratic candidate, offering a too favorable snapshot of Biden’s support by a margin of 4.3 points...Overall, in comparing the polling to the election’s final outcomes, the review found surveys underestimated Trump’s favorability in nearly every state by an average margin of 3.3 points, and overstated Biden’s by a single point.

If these polls are even close to reality it would mean a clean sweep of the Presidency, the Senate and the House. The Senate is probably a done deal no matter if biden squeaks out a win. There are way too many extremely vulnerable democrats up for reelection this time around.
But nothing will be done except a whole bunch of executive orders by Trump that will be cancelled by the next democrat president just like biden did.
Until we get rid of the uniparty and the deep state nothing will change.

Black swan events will apply to the party in power is how that goes. Worsening economy, terrorist attacks, etc. will not cause a rally round the flag because Biden's junta is simply incapable of generating that sort of appeal and incapable now of any coherent policies for fear of upsetting the hard left. That is why Gaza is still an open wound for the Dems months after the actual event. That is why even with the horrendous effects nationwide of unrestricted open borders will continue to be hated by a majority of the US voters, and so on. Biden's junta is divided over doing anything to end that wound as well. Then you have spending out the wazoo by fedgov, the shipping of billions to Ukraine, etc.

The anger about this could very well be the end of the current system they use to control us. Is this why they are suddenly going YOLO on stupid shit?

Abortion is still a major issue. I know everyone has confidence that it’s just a state and local issue, but look what happened to Michael Dukakis over the death penalty.
I’m willing to give Trump some major slack on moving to the middle on abortion.
I’m hopeful people stop making it such a focus, but I’ve seen polls where it’s the number one issue among female voters

If I was to think on it (I won't) and make a list and try to come up with a way to irritate my spouse or get their attention, shitting on the bed would not even get into my top 500. Hell, 1000. I don't get it. Seriously, how was that even a possibility?

ALIEN 2hr 05min is getting a play at my local theater.
I invited The Kid to go see it as I never did Back Then. In subsequent viewings I love the FX and that alien ship! What a triumph.
But the human behavior, like all popular horror movies, has always irritated me.
So I'm supposed to go see this revival of ALIEN, which I have never seen on a big screen, knowing I'm not going to like it that much. Can you love a movie for its asthetic and not the other parts? I still love the 1982 BLADE RUNNER despite all its flaws. I admit it's because of Deckard and Rachel's love scene in his flat.
During Rona Panic The Kid took me to see THE THING, 1982, and man that was AWESOME. Wow did that hold up. Scary as shit.
So I guess I should just go to see ALIEN.

Yes, but I think you're overthinking it. COVID? Political corruption? Warmongering abroad? Enabling terrorists at home? Sure, all that and more. Malfeasance is as broad as it is deep, and touches everything. No one thing - not even a thing as big as COVID-related perfidy - will be "the" thing.
The country is broke. We're out of money, short on influence and no longer have the ability to enforce our whims abroad and externalize consequences beyond our borders. Barring either radical and extremely painful reform or a sudden new industrial revolution, the goose is cooked.
So yes, we're in the "loot the empire" stage, but I don't think it has to do with any one thing specifically, not even the evils of the COVID era. The trigger, when it is found, will likely be minor in the grand scheme of things. It often is. "The last straw" needn't be a heavy one.

Trump may or may not be winning in MI, but Kaplan Strategies is a crap pollster. Trump +15 in MI? That's too absurd to even call it an outlier. That's not an outlier, that's Fantasy Island!
Also, it isn't sufficient for Ace to say (above) that, "For Trump to even be close in MI is a moral victory."
Unh-uh. Trump has to WIN MI, period the end, to win the election, imo. The ONLY way Trump can win without MI is to carry PA instead, & it's VERY unlikely he can win PA while losing MI.
So, MI is it. The RCP avg for MI is Trump +1.3%, IIRC.

I've watched that a few times it's hilarious and has a real emotional base to it.

This is the CW, but I think that battle was won in the last two years. If you're a Republican, who still thinks Trump is going away and things will go back to "normal", you're just not very bright. Granted, it's the GOP, but still.

I don't think so. Johnson idiotically broke the tie for the Deep State on requiring a warrant for FISA and as a result the Deep State got what it wanted-full extension and no limits on it.
Ditto on Ukrainian funding, and so on.
And then the Senate is still mired in McConnell's Deep State and Uniparty fuckery and you have idiot GOPe governors like Wyoming's that vetoed a law punishing illegal immigrants if they vote.

It's like the whole popular thing now about women being given the choice between meeting a random guy in the woods or a bear. And women will say the insane thing of, "well at least the bear won't male gaze me or mansplain anything to me so of course I choose the bear over the patriarchy". Men are so terrible they'd rather be mulled to death. And it's all supposed to be something profound.
No, it just means you say crazy stupid crap and maybe even make crazy stupid crappy life choices. And you are doing that to show your alliance with a stunted viewpoint handed to you by manipulative groups that don't have your best interest in mind.
Well, Trump is the bear for a lot of people. Many women.

Abortion. Not a single GOP State is going to further restrict abortion, and I'm sure the GOP in states with trigger laws are working feverishly to find a way out of that bind - they're the dogs who caught the car. The pro-life position was always a fundraising and electioneering scheme, and it was never, ever intended to be tested.

On the comedy angle: someone on X yesterday posted a thread of old Trump Twitter posts. Liberal guy, but was appreciating the humor of the posts. It was hilarious. I'd forgotten most of them.
The poster listed this as his favorite:
I heard the CEO of Pepsi had some not so nice things to say about me. That's ok. I'll still drink that garbage.
He described it as a perfectly crafted joke Tweet.

We go into discontinuity land there as every state has laws that actually throw out election results if they exceed the margin of victory or registered voters. That only works in the relatively few states that allow same day registration and it becomes infinitely more challenging electorally to get people out there to do it in person. Works for races in places like NH for the Dems, probably will not help them in a place like MI (the Dem majority just created same day registration and voting there).
So, if the Dems are willing to roll the dice by trying to do something like that, you get a discontinuity nationwide with unpredictable results for everyone including the Dems. It won't be a repeat of 2020 this time as a majority of voters already believe that was a fake result as well.
Obvious fakery again risks systematic failure of the whole voting scheme and end the regime itself along with the Deep State for a time.

When my wife divorced me against my will, and to the outrage of our child who found it to be tearing her home apart, I did some research as to whether it was unusual and found it is not. Divorce rates in the USA have been constant since the 1600s. The change is the improvement in male ability to provide. Generally men who couldn't provide stayed single and were the 'Uncle'. Women were spinsters.

Cuts of meat that are generous and when prepared, tasty and tender. I'm not looking for ambience and $100 bottles of wine. Just a good cut that's prepare correctly and perhaps some decent sides.

There's an episode of The Simpsons where the family goes to a new steakhouse. They kill the cow you choose for your meal right there in front of you (offscreen in the show, of course). Homer actually kills three of them because he didn't like the first two.

A few years ago they raised the prices and I stopped buying (coke did the same) trying to be a "premium" brand. Recently they came back down to earth, so I have been buying but they totally suck now.

You know, it occurs to me that the deep state might be okay with Trump winning because they'll just ignore him as they did before but, more importantly, he won't be President during the next census. We know that the Biden WH removed the question about citizenship and then "adjusted" the results to benefit multiple blue states.
Having Trump win in 2024 makes the story more plausible for a Dem to win in 2028 and, therefore, control the 2030 census.

I found that I don't like "fine dining." The product is usually excellent, but I am actually discomfited by the level of obsequiousness involved. I don't need five servants who blend into the shadows and fawn over me otherwise. I'm not a Bourbon monarch. It makes me uncomfortable.

The girl managed to have at least one episode of sex with someone, got knocked up, gave birth, the child died.
The Quaker woman didn't seem to think much of it and continued to beat her maid.

They do but a lot of that is because they drank their own Koolaid and are now in Jim Jones land. Street level hustlers used for the steal are far more cunning than the POS Democrat party leaders and movements without the peons behind them get purged. Hustlers are always capable of just pocketing the money and walking away. The Dems cannot afford to try to discipline them.
Essentially in country after country, the wheels are falling off the left's disastrous policies spurred by a bunch of nihilistic oligarchs congregating at Davos.
They push it, they are likely to live in fear from the plebes droning them for the rest of their miserable lives. I've been following some of the drone wars in Ukraine and it is fascinating how the ground level troops are using them in unintended ways to harass and kill the enemy which leads to countermeasures that are overcome by new designs and so on.

I voted for Trump because I loathed Hillary Clinton (and Joe Biden), because I thought it would be a good idea to have someone who was not a professional politician as President and because he seemed energetic, smart and funny and had positive ideas. I can't say I ever thought about jumping his bones. If I were going to want to jump a President's bones it would be Washington if I were around at the time-because well- Washington-and Calvin Coolidge who seemed very bright and had a dry sense of humor.

But really. Any self-respecting male anybody would have to be CRAZY to get married to anyone for any reason in the USA.

I didn't say you, I said her. The point wasn't about rational decision-making, it was about the knee-jerk emotional response. For some women, that knee-jerk is that Trump is the "bear" in the original analogy. For others, that knee-jerk is arousal. I have no idea what the ratio is.

The thing that breaks the camel's back on the DC elite is the retrenching of America out of the global order as the whole notion of global trade goes up in smoke.
We know the reinvestment coming back to the US, but it is not coming back across all areas. Texas, Tennessee, Indiana are basking in capital investment. California, NY, and Illinois are not. As the global trade networks fray into regional or bilateral trade agreements, the need for USD will decline.
There will be no single specific global reserve currency because the world will not need one. This makes it impossible to export inflation and hide overspending. This kills all the beautiful people's reason to live. The next Civil War will be the economic winners (almost all red states) telling DC to take a hike. And DC cannot do anything about it.

It was amazing to me after enduring the hell that is Biden speaking, to see a man only 4 years younger than Biden who is so energized (not manic from drug cocktails) and can speak intelligently and often off the cuff and doing it so well. I've never have seen a contrast so dramatic in my lifetime.

The old "they wouldn't dare" routine that serious conservatives have been rolling out for the last forty years. Strangely enough - the Dems always seem to dare.
Posted by: Its Always Been This Way

That is actually bullshit. A lot of the fakery was on the margins--after all Bush still got the Presidency in 2000 despite the last ditch attempts by the Dems to overturn it via fraud and lawfare.
You push it to eleventy and you get some reaction just like a few tylenol are tolerated but taking the whole bottle results in a poor outcome.
The Dems are defeatable just like the Commies are but a lot of people curiously want to be defeated just like the French in 1940.
Nothing is forever, trees do not grow into the sky and all trends must end. Death and taxes are about the only certainties in life and humans are working on death. I think advances on that is part of the reason that the oligarchy is behaving the way it is and now openly genocidal. They think they will live forever but don't want the plebes to do so.

This new law has been determined to be constitutional by MI state courts.
