    And yet, Trump could do one (ONE) thing that would guarantee his re-election, but I doubt that he or his campaign staff will even take notice of it: announce cost-of-living increases for people on Social Security for each of the next FIVE YEARS, to make up for the microscopic or totally NON-EXISTENT increases during the past ten years. INSTANT VICTORY!

    Instead, Trump is too busy trying to crush interest rates to prop-up a 'fraud balloon' economy, and, achieve victory over a China that now has 120 gigantic state-owned (or controlled) industries, doing thriving business all over the planet as part of its "belt-and-road" initiative. Ten years ago, Trump could have done this, but ten years ago we didn't have Trump... no. Instead, we had the Federal Reserve combine's 'house-pet' -- "Messiah" Obama! And all he did was run their welfare 'kiosk', while the Fed ran the entire economy!

    Anyway, if just one (ONE) of these Democrat candidates figure out that 70,000,000 Baby Boomers can easily win the election for them, then that one bright candidate will come out for increases in Social Security, and we'll have a Democrat in the White House in 2021....

    I also survived jumping from a plane with no parachute. Good thing it was on the ground!

    Bottom line, phone surveys do not reflect the opinions of those who are pursuing success or raising families. They just don't have time. Hillary by a landslide!

    I have a home phone as well, but its through Spectrum cable and I have nomorobo.com screen out the robo calls.

    Meaningless until you have a nominee, I doubt Trump is scared of Sleepy Joe, Pocahontas, or Horizontal Harris.

    Fat Orange Imbecilic Donnie is too stupid to be scared of anything... strangely, it's one of his best assets...

    The phrase "Ignorance is Bliss" has never been more applicable...

    That's music to my ears. However, when I looked for the methodology for the poll, there really isn't any listed. They asked people to respond, but what did they ask them? How were questions worded? Who responded? How was the data collected? I didn't see any of that.

    I did think it was ironic that Fox News shared polls that said the same thing about Trump's approval ratings. Now Trump's saying "they don't work for us anymore."

    Don't I wish.
    But the problem I see is that there is little consensus on a Democratic challenger. I'm half afraid we're going into another DNC Convention like in 1968. This time, the Yippies are called Antifa.

    He certainly wasn't scared of the annointed one, Fat Hillary.

    The way I see it (right now) is Warren and Sanders will split the left of center vote and Biden will sail down the middle. 25, 25, 50.

    That's probably pretty close, but the larger question is: Will ALL D runner ups DEMAND their supporters support the winner, 100%, no questions asked??

    I don't get the impression Bernie did that as well as he should in 2016, although I wasn't paying the least bit of attention....

    I really don't like any of them. Biden isn't a bad guy, but he just seems to work better from the sidelines. Sanders is too far left for me. He comes across as the very kind of elitist that so many working class Trump supporters hate. I also think his ideas a quite idealistic. Warren sounds good at times, but she's bringing in baggage, and she also comes across as an elitist who doesn't speak for lower income working class folks. But what do I know?

    Yes. 50% of Americans have an above average level of knowledge on the subject. Back to my question: Do you accept unidentified calls?

    Bernie stayed in way to long and he is paying the price for it this time.
    The problem with 2016 is that Hillary had way to much baggage and of course Comey.
    The Dems this time would vote for AOC before they would vote for Trump.

    I've been using that site to track Trump for a few months now.
    I've also been tracking him against Biden in the battleground states. I'll do an update in about a week after the new one comes out.

    Wasn't it you touting the +/- 5.6% Manmoth poll a few days ago?
    They are contactors. Call them up a fork over some cash and they will do one for you.
    You don't build a business doing bad polls.
    Well maybe if your a rightie.

    Of the last 100 unidentified calls you accepted, what percentage of them were more important than your business or time with your family?

    I had a shitty day yesterday, and I shouldn't have snapped at you. Apologies.

    I predict, though, the polling will be spot on in 2020. Within +/- 3 points of the popular vote winner. I think the polling we're seeing now is correct about the election: If it were held today, we would see similar results as we saw in the Midterms (which the polls predicted correctly): Trump would lose by 5-13 points depending on the Dem opponent. I don't see anyone changing their minds from here to election day, so I think the polling now is going to be the polling we'll see in Nov. 2020: Trump loses to whoever, by about eight points.
