    1. Has anyone done some actual digging to find if the people the reporter talked to are real? Or is this just trying to make Biden’s campaign and prospects at a 2nd term worse than it is?

    2. You all do realize polls are ALWAYS going to be skewed going forward since they get their info from people who respond to unknown numbers right? My phone literally filters unknown numbers out so I don’t get them unless it’s ABSOLUTELY important, so I’ll never end up in a poll. For all we know if every American was forced to answer a poll Biden could be much higher in the polls than what news orgs say he is. But they don’t have a poll answered by all ≈330 million Americans. Not to mention polls can change rapidly at any time, something could happen in the months leading to election day that could swing voters more towards Biden.

      1. I am going off what NBC has reported and let’s be honest, they probably went to HARO* for a lot of it. It doesn’t matter where I got it from I gotta go off the reporting.
      2. If Biden is really doing bad in internal polling the Dems message will skew towards it being a “vote for freedom” or not so I don’t know. I DON’T KNOW GOD DAMNIT. And that’s what frightens me. We could very much end up voting for Trump, and the only certainty is if he wins, is its over.
