Polling website FiveThirtyEight (538) gave President Biden a narrow edge over former President Trump Tuesday as it launched its model for predicting the 2024 race for the White House.
Biden wins about 53% of the time in the site’s computer generated analyses compared to 47% for Trump.
“Trump has a lead in most key swing states (but) they are close enough that a small amount of movement — or the polls being a little too favorable to Republicans — could result in President Joe Biden’s reelection,” the site said in explaining the model.
The model says the most likely electoral college result is 276 for Biden and 262 for Trump. In 0.3%

I don't know anything for sure except Trump has my vote. End of discussion.

Only through mass cheating that would be enough to rig the election.

Since the demoncraps are considering replacing Quid Pro Joe with a retarded chimp I find this hard to believe . What's all this stuff about his approval rate is an all time low.

Biden gets maybe 15 people to show up anywhere he speaks, if that. Trump gets tens, if not hundreds of thousands. There is no place on the planet where Biden is ahead of Trump.

These are computer simulations is runs over and over using different scenarios. The article says that the same survey system was wrong about Trump beating Hillary in 2016. Think about the weather forecast you see for the next 30 days which is created by using computer models. It's is constantly revised because it is wrong. Computer models do not use enthusiasm and other human reactions and actions. Do not believe this garbage.

Same simulations said She had a 99% chance of winning in 2016.

#4, that chimp would be a helluva lot more alert, alive, and sentient than the current occupant of the Oval Office. Sudden thought: do they still use that silly small prop replica of the Oval Office for Joe to sit in, and people tell him that yes, he is actually in the White House, and yes, he actually is President? Meanwhile, Barack and Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice perform Their Satanic Majesty's Request? [apologies to Mick and Keith and Bill Wyman]

Most polls have not figured out how to account for the enormous level of vote fraud that happened in 2020 and 2022. However maybe we can get enough turnout this time that even that level of fraud can be overcome. MAGA

Charlie Ken was discussing this very thing yesterday. The problem is that while many people don't like Biden, they are not registered to vote. And even if 75% of the country "supports Trump", for example, if they aren't registered to vote and/or don't vote, Biden will win.

Yet....Nat Silver, founder of 538 and a World famous polling Guru sez...."Biden is sooo far behind and damaged, the Dems face a (marginally) better chance by having him drop out and ANYBODY take his place. Currently Trump winning is a near certainty"

Ask yourself, “Given all I know about the mood and state of the country and the world, does this make sense?” If the answer is “no,” pay it no more mind and move on.

538 admits that Trump is ahead in almost all of the swing states but then says those leads might disappear so they declare Biden ahead? They are totally discrediting their poll with their own words. Nothing but liberal media propaganda.

It is so distressing that so many Americans still think FJB is the way to go. What does it take to wake them up?

Anybody notice this? FTA: 'Trump has a lead in most key swing states (but) they are close enough that a small amount of movement — or the polls being a little too favorable to Republicans — could result in President Joe Biden’s reelection'
That aforementioned 'small amount' is enough to be made up with a water leak or 'disaster' at the counting place. If Donald wins, that will be used for months because a poll called it too close.

So, I guess this web site factors in Democrat vote fraud in its analysis.

Hear me out -- we need to live our lives over the next 5 months working tirelessly to get Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress elected as if this were 1,000,000% true!!!!!
Complacency is our worst enemy at this point. In a fair and honest election, I'm not sure that Senile Joe bidet wouldn't come in 3rd (behind Trump and Kennedy). But with the Demon-Rat mastery of election theft, President Trump needs to win every state by such a large margin that all the Demon-Rat thievery can't deny President Trump his victory.
You can sleep at Thanksgiving. Work non-stop until November!!!!!!!!!

This is what happens when polls are rigged by polling 75% Democrats and 25% Republicans...THIS technique is the very dirty secret of Polling Companies. The Poll HAS to say what those paying for the poll want. No surprise here.
