Members DRW50 Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Thanks for all the info. I think Georgia was mostly won due to a number of factors in 2020 which aren't there this year, but I hope Harris can pull it off. Quinnipac isn't very reliable, IIRC, but then Gallup, which is out today talking about a dip in her favorability while Trump had a big gain isn't either. If the latter is true, I do blame the media for their nonstop fawning over him. Any time there is a lull between events, Trump seems to regain footing, because people are drawn into falling for all the propaganda about him and about Harris (that and worries over immigration and the economy). Meanwhile it looks like the Teamsters are likely going to endorse Trump, as otherwise this polling data probably wouldn't have been released. Their scumbag head has been itching to do so, even speaking at the RNC and cheerleading hatemonger Josh Hawley, a favorite of the red-brown alliance dead end leftists. The methodology between the two polls is different, but this is still a big warning sign of how much the white working class vote is likely going to overperform for Trump again. When she is erudite, they criticize her for being too on message. When she's not, it's word salad. Meanwhile, if Trump blathers he is praised for managing to weave out a winning message. If he doesn't [!@#$%^&*] his pants on stage, he's praised for being on message. It's no wonder he is doing so well. @janea4old I saw that. Kennedy (who isn't even using his real accent - he magically gained that drawl when he switched parties) is often hyped by sycophants as "funny" but he's just an old nasty bigot. Even Faux News had to shut him down not long ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 (edited) Contrary to right-wing panicked spin over these polls, Quinnipiac was pretty good in '22. And sure, all pollsters vary. But we all know Gallup's biases going back many years. So if we want to pick and choose it become choose your own adventure depending on what any of us prefer to believe. The fact remains, most reputable polls (including Q) have Harris up 3-6 in these states. If she takes them it's over.

Members DRW50 Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Gutless. They have already endorsed Trump in so many ways. All this after Biden worked so hard for them. If Harris wins, I hope she cuts them off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Can we be real, for a moment? I know from very personal experience, there’s a Black Teamsters and there’s a white Teamsters.

Members JaneAusten Posted September 18, 2024 Members Share Posted September 18, 2024 Yeah and I remember reading that the Black Teamsters Union/Caucus endorsed Harris after all the conflict was exposed some weeks back. I also heard a Teamster call in to one of the Sirius XM Progress shows who said that he expects a lot of the local chapters to post endorsements for Harris. Biden pretty much had pretty solid support, which I was shocked about, but I can see the numbers above reflect that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted September 19, 2024 Members Share Posted September 19, 2024 This confirms what that Teamster who called into Michael Signorelli's show said, both from the meeting with Harris and that individual councils would be endorsing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted September 19, 2024 Members Share Posted September 19, 2024 Marist shows tighter but still good numbers: I'm fine with this - other polling has us further up, and it allows people not to get complacent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
