Based on these it is now Trump who is favored?

Just based on those, yes.

The Higher Wages of Growth
Before the pandemic, income growth soared and poverty fell to the lowest rate since 1959.


https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-higher-wages-of-growth-11600298577

In case you missed it, and most of the media did, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday that the median household income in 2019 grew a whopping 6.8%—the largest annual increase on record. While this year’s government-ordered lockdowns will erase these gains in the short term at least, it’s still worth highlighting how lower-income workers and minorities benefited from faster growth and a tighter labor market before the pandemic.


MAGAnomics: Manufacturing Orders Jump Highest in 17 Years – 3.4 Percent Higher Than Pre-Pandemic Levels…

The ISM manufacturing survey was released today showing exceptional economic news on the manufacturing front. New orders for manufactured goods jumped to their highest level in 17 years and were 3.4 percent higher than pre-pandemic levels. That data matches our earlier ground reports from across the nation.


Don't let Biden and the Circle Jerkers...

do another lockdown ruining the economy and taking your jobs away. BTW is that a campaign rally or some bizarre UFO cult? It would explain a lot.

Instead choose this...life, prosperity, happiness...

Vote Trump! Vote Jobs and Prosperity over masks, misery and depressing lockdowns.

This is America baby!

My favourite story of voting for the lepers eating my face Party is the people that were married to undocumented immigrants and voted for Trump. Boy were they shocked when Trump deported their undocumented spouse!

I can imagine how his mostly white middle-aged supporters felt about being introduced to a "Little Pimp," something they probaby wouldn't have wanted, given their general social and political views. Even worse, his name is Little Pump (who most of us don't know, anyway) but Trump had no qualms about Pimp. Now if he had some of the rappers we know and like, or even Kanye, it could have been a fun rally. But this is just f'ed up.

Is he planning to follow up with "L'il Ho?" Oh, wait, I think he's done that one. Sorry.

If Biden breaks 33% of the vote share in Sumter Co., FL, this election is over.

You're discounting the early mail-in voter for the very reason so they don't have to worry about getting sick while voting in person.

Those numbers are all-inclusive. Vote By Mail and Early Voting.


I don't know who will win, but you are wrong in your statement. For example, Trump won Wisconsin 2016, he is trailing in 2020.

I understand how you feel. Most of us are not horrified by the politics, but by the greater issues of damaging our nation's strength internationally, domestically, using a deadly pandemic to curry votes, and the constant lying and abuse of others. These issues won't be solved even if there is Democratic landslide tonight.

Back in the day when the Right legitimately argued to persuade others to agree with their plans, I found myself really listening and sometimes agreeing. Now, the very nature of the White House - dissing professionals and scientists, quashing dissent by humiliating people who have served our nation with distinguished careers, peddling lies during "press conferences" and attacking those who merely do their jobs of asking questions ... these are the things that hurt our strenght and credibility as a nation.

Encouraging supporters to physically attack others - as in the kidnapping plans against Governor Gretchen Whitmer, those Trump caravans that threatened Biden's bus, or blocked roadways in other states, sending in the feds when it only exacerbated local issues -- these are all third world tactics. Continuing to allow them in this country will ruin the future for all of us, politics be damned.

Trumpers are all of the angry losers who hated anyone who was remotely cool. When someone they think is a celebrity pats them on the head they latch on to it like pigs on slop

Lil Pump and Scott Baio for the win

The Deutsche Bank news probably scared the crap out of Trump. With a few hundred million on the line they can liquidate a lot of his holdings to get compensated, because everybody knows this idea that they can package his debts and sell them at auction won't happen. Nobody will touch that debt. So they start taking his property if he can't make payments. If they are going to take a hit due to more investigations into their activities they are at least going to claim their payments via asset seizures.

Trump has plenty to worry about between losing everything to banks and state prosecutions.

I was going to drink margaritas tonight, but I don't want to get drunk. So I bought two cans of Fosters amber and will stop at that. I do want to have on hand something to toast Biden's victory with.

Trump won Wisconsin by 22,000 votes in 2016. There were 230,000 people who voted for Obama in 2012 that STAYED HOME in 2016. That means Trump has to keep every vote he got in 2016, increase more votes and hope that a small percentage of the 230,000 Obama 2012 voters show up. Math is hard for Trump Supporters.

Then he has to open that new voters don’t break for Biden. Trump did not win Wisconsin, people who stayed home lost it. The same pattern is scene in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Aljazeera has a good write up of how close the 2016 election was.
