Discussion: General Election 2024

To what extent do you take the polls seriously?

I wonder if De Santis has any political future at all.

I hope not. His policies are barbaric and cruel.

To what extent do you take the polls seriously?

Not at all.

After the red mirage of 2022 and then Trump continually falling seven to ten below expectations during the primary recently -

They’re just not reliable in that they seem to be noticeably over counting Trump voters.

So, given that today is May 1 and the FL "pro-life law" LOL went into effect, if I'm Biden and the Dems, I hit FL hard with the message that if the Dems get control of the senate, house, and WH, we PROMISE you that we will codify Roe in federal law. Let the Repubs talk about 15, 16, whatever weeks. Let THEM haggle over whether the mother's life is in danger or whether there are possible serious health concerns before a woman can get the health care she needs. Make it a clear and simple message......We will overturn Dobbs through legislation....period.....end of discussion.

While Kennedy's victory was widely anticipated in the left-leaning district, the vote margin between both candidates was much larger than forecast.

Kennedy won by more than 36 percentage points—a massive performance by the Democratic Party. The Cook Political Report, an independent newsletter that analyzes elections and campaigns, had expected Kennedy to win the seat by 9 percentage points.

Polling and prognosticators have continuously underestimated Democratic electoral strength for years now.

It won't be Scott. He's running for re-election. Just the idea that it could be Rubio just freaking kills me. I could even write the campaign ads. If I'm not mistaken, one of them would have to no longer be a resident of FL if Marco the chickenS*** were to be picked.

EDIT: Trump's transactional nature shouldn't surprise me, but it always does.....
