I agree that all polls need to be taken with a grain of salt.. the main danger being complacency in the side which is predicted as the winner. If people think the election is already over, they are less likely to vote. This was a problem in 2016, for sure.
Yet if the people vote, Donald Trump's chances of re-election are grim. He lost the popular vote in 2016, and for the last 4 years, he has spent the majority of his time pissing people off.
I don't think he's added much of anything to his support base, so he's still relying on the same people who fell in love with his "im-an-
-and-proud-of-it" persona. With no one new standing next to him, and supposedly less republican moderates with him now, he's very reliant on voters NOT showing up on the polls. Apathy got him elected in 2016, and he needs it again.
But America seems really angry right now, and he's in the big seat. I think his advisors keep telling him that the more voter participation there is, the less likely he is to be re-elected. And that's why he keeps bull
ting about voter fraud, when all the facts show its basically non-existent. Not to mention the whole mail-in-vote thing, which has been a thing in the USA for a long time with no issues.
The dude is feeling desperate. Anyone not dependent on their pundits of choice can see it.
