Life goes on

Two weeks ago I went to my local Lowe's and the place was a ghost town.  Today it was packed.

It didn't hurt that it's a beautiful day and lots of people are prepping lawns.

Somebody still hasn't figured out that people lie to pollsters because they don't want to deal with TDS.

Also: all these polls are registered voters, which doesn't (necessarily) mean they're actually going to vote. For likely voters you need to look at voter enthusiasm.

Then mix in the "shy Tory" effect and - voila - Trump wins.

Did you examine the actual table, VP?

GOP Chairwoman Ronna R-mn-y McDaniel, last August 14:
"New @NCCivitas polling in swing-state North Carolina has @realDonaldTrump beating every leading 2020 Democrat!"

Ronna R-mn-y McDaniel, speaking this morning:
"I don't really rely on polling this far out."

My goodness, that simple little IBD poll table seems to have stirred up a frantic flurry of activity in the pollmonger.

Have you made the angst and insecurity go away yet?

"This table of Investors Business Daily's Nationwide Polling History of Biden/Trump results will save us!"

Trump's own campaign manager told Trump that he's losing, but you know better.

Here's what you can do to help. Call your Senator, and ask that Utah's electoral vote total be boosted from 6 to 88.

Now I'm getting concerned. Let me confess that the IBD table was just Fake News that I formatted myself as a gag. I never expected it to go this far...

No, I didn't look at your table.
