    Come back tomorrow when CNN says, “Harris losing to Trump by double digits in new polls”

  2. Guys no, Hasan Piker is saying stop being hopeful and happy with the direction of the polls 😭 everyone go back to hopelessness, bashing the Dems, and making Trump seem like a silly little goofball

  3. that’s awesome progress! i’ll make sure to do my part and vote. if you haven’t registered yet, it’s a good time to do it, registration deadlines are coming up. checking if your registration is up to date, is probably also a good idea.

  4. The MOE on these polls is 3-5% so take them with a big grain of salt, this race is still extremely close.

    I have watched Trump a lot over many years. I feel like I know what’s he’s all about. My theory: his campaign’s private polling are much worse than these public polls and it’s really getting to him. Seems to have lost his mojo.

  7. I have a moderate amount of anxiety that she, he, or someone/something else is going to fuck things up for her campaign between now and the election. 

  8. Christ, there is gonna be some “retruths” tonight. Can’t wait for the vile nonsense.

  9. Only one poll matters.  Let’s all get out and vote. Turn out will be key. Let’s set a record for turnout in America. Then let’s all keep voting. Remember Kamala Harris will need congress to get things done and any increased support we can give her from state and local races will help. Have a plan to vote. Know where you go to vote. Check that you are registered. Vote early if you can. If you expect long lines bring plenty of water and an umbrella that can both keep you dry and in the shade. If you are voting by mail read the instructions carefully and mail them as early as posable. Pay attention to any opportunities to affect down ballot elections. From the school boards to the White house every election matters.

    Remember democracy is not one and done. Keep voting in all elections and primaries every year. off year elections and midterm elections are a good chance to make gains in locally and state elections as turnout is low. We vote out republicans and primary out uncooperative democrats.

  10. None of this shit matters. Only what happens on Nov 5. Vote like your life depends on it.

  11. According to Reddit, presidential election polls are occurring at a rate of about 15 per day…

  12. Only in America people go like both sides bad, so imma gonna vote for the worst candidate in the history of America.

  13. Daydream_machine on

    I get very worried reading headlines like this, and then looking at Nate Silver’s model which basically has the Electoral College at 50/50.

  14. Always newsweek pushing this shit hard, polls don’t matter, your vote does! Did you check your registration? Did you sign up for a mail in ballot? Do you know where your polling station will be? Check now!

    This is great, but please, get registered, check your registration, and vote! 🇺🇲

    Enthusiasm now doesn’t mean votes later.

    The youth vote historically disappoints.

    Polls matter because they matter to Trump

    It’s driving him insane and causing him to spiral and fuck up the GOPs down ballot

  18. East_Gear4326 on

    Ok cool, still vote. I’m glad she’s up in polling, but seriously vote. Polling ain’t worth jack if you don’t vote. A loooot of people got too comfortable in 2016.
