Houston 08/17/20 9:01:40 PM #1:	If you're one to believe in polling accuracy, here's some new info today straight from CNN: "Joe Biden's lead over Donald Trump among registered voters has significantly narrowed since June, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, even as the former vice president maintains an advantage over the President on several top issues and his choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris as a running mate earns largely positive reviews. *Overall, 50% of registered voters back the Biden-Harris ticket, while 46% say they support Trump and Pence, right at the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.* Among the 72% of voters who say they are either extremely or very enthusiastic about voting this fall, Biden's advantage over Trump widens to 53% to 46%. *It is narrower, however, among those voters who live in the states that will have the most impact on the electoral college this fall." "Across 15 battleground states, the survey finds Biden has the backing of 49% of registered voters, while Trump lands at 48%." https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/16/politics/cnn-poll-biden-trump-august/index.html --- "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."* - Dr Seuss <cite>Houston posted [p:943508129] in CNN's new ...

I don't know about that. 79% and 77% chance of Hillary winning Michigan and Pennsylvania, respectively, doesn't sound too much like a battleground state. I certainly never remember the media talking about how Trump could very well take them both! But, maybe you have a different perspective. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ Your own link shows both states have scenarios where Trump wins in that model. That makes them battlegrounds. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:943549996] in CNN's new ...

Houston 08/18/20 9:23:25 PM #43:	ssjevot posted... They really don't though. If you mean over the long-term some states can become a battleground and other can become a blue or red state, than yes. If you mean California or Texas could be a battleground this year, they can't be. If Trump had a chance in California he would already have a landslide win. Similar if Biden has a chance in Texas he is heading for a landslide win. Battlegrounds are battlegrounds because their distribution of demographics is such that either party could win in a close race. Landslides like Reagan 1988 don't mean every state was a battleground that year. That is a good point. I guess what I was trying to convey is what you said, except in some cases, they can become a battleground on a shorter term, like Michigan and Pennsylvania did. Things change every four years, but I overall agree with what you mean. Trump probably should not be focusing on NY and Biden focusing on Mississippi (but I don't think they are). --- "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr Seuss <cite>Houston posted [p:943550065] in CNN's new ...
