    If trump internal polling showed the same lead, there’s no way he would show up to try to eat away a slice of the libertarians puny 2-3% of the vote.

    I think the numbers look way worse for Trump than national pollsters show and I think their polling indicates Trump loses in a landslide if he’s convicted in any of his cases.

      TBF, A or B Polling won’t show any votes for C, but with how third party is more popular than in the past for both major parties this year in the wake of the Gaza Genocide it could negatively impact either candidate. That doesn’t mean the polling is meaningless.

      Trump is polling with a lead even as closing arguments are heard in his hush money trial today, and he has suspended his insurrection classified documents criminal trial indefinitely with help from a Judge Cannon that he appointed during his term.

      We don’t have to like it but we have to accept the facts here, Trump is popular and that threatens the future of US Democracy and NATO.

      EDIT: His insurrection trials are held up over some other BS.
