    Unless the margin is razor thin, I think the lawyers will be sent in then and he won't concede.

    Sure if it is razor thin like Gore/Bush he won't concede, as I said earlier but if it is clear cut he will.

    If there is 1% in it or more I think he will concede.

    I agree with schmittel, if Trump loses enough key states he'll concede. He likes to say some wild stuff and get everyone riled up but he'll concede if he has clearly lost. If it's close though, he will do everything he can to make it into a dogfight.

    So shrewd that he failed, repeatedly, to be elected to his own parliament, getting beaten by people dressed in styrofoam suits.

    Trolling is just not what it used to be.
    A dolphin beat him lol

    He is the definition of a grifter.
    He tries to project this man of the people BS because he drinks and smokes fags.
    All the while being an ex banker, who did feck all and barely turned up when an MEP, when he could have made a real difference with regards farming, fishing etc.
    He made sure his kids got the German passports before brexit anyway, and didn't he apply for one himself? Lol

    The fact he is all Trump could dredge up to support him says a lot

    Trump looks very likely to take Florida at this point.
    Asked these questions of the last person making this claim.
    What time do polls close?
    What percentage voted by mail?

    Trump looks very likely to take Florida at this point.

    Biden needed a bigger early vote lead to have a realistic shot.

    States like Nevada will be very interesting. If Trump is going to get a big winning margin to avoid contests in court, then he might need to take somewhere like Nevada. But it's looking possible. And it really shouldn't be, but Trump is on track for a number of potential upsets against the polls.

    Btw, I think the young turks are doing a live show on their youtube channel, if anyone is interested. I might tune into that, just to see if they go into meltdown again when Trump wins like in 2016. :)
    Where are you seeing that Trump is very likely to take Florida from?
    Where are you seeing he is on track for a number of upsets exactly?

    Also wondering the same! I found their channel, but no livestream on it.

    He's probably already sold the whitehouse three times, he's just putting a wall around lafayette square so he can sell that as well

    Wow. Is this our first indication? You'd think it would be a lot higher. Interesting

    CNN, although it looks like a cnn opinion poll

    48% think USA is handling the pandemic well???

    new countdown 53 minutes until first polls close

    I find that amazing. If that’s in any way accurate it says a lot and would have to give the Trump camp a boost.

    He's currently leading in Florida by roughly 180,000 according to a few polls but there's nothing substantial yet.

    CNN poll has it very tight on some issues.

    Top issue:
    Economy 34%
    Racial Inequality 21%
    Corona virus 18%
    Crime 11%

    Economy and Crime are republican issues and they are ahead of Race and Virus.

    How are efforts going to contain virus
    Well 48%
    Badly 51%
    That's a lot tighter than reality where the effort has been a ****show.

    It's going to be tight lads. Trump isn't out of this yet.

    surprised about the economy being top. worrying, but biden closed to almost even on that topic the last few weeks.

    Aren't exit polls more likely to include Trump voters as a higher proportion of Biden voters have voted already?

    I'm hoping those exit polls are misleading in the context of the total vote given the numbers who had voted before today.

    In and of themselves, they are worrying from a Dem perspective.

    Pretty much every single swing state poll that has asked about voter issues has had the economy on top.

    Dont more Republicans than Democrats vote on election day therefore giving the trump camp an edge in exit polls which may not filter down?

    It's a factual statement:

    Terrifying exit poll for Biden campaign if it is accurate. If people are voting on the economy then that's a positive for Trump. Like it or not, most people have more money in their back pocket now than four years ago.

    However a big caveat to the exit poll - surely it is oversampling Republicans given the early voting? So how valuable actually is it?

    I have that feeling too. Biden is just too unlikable for the majority of Americans to stomach. Not that Trump is the least bit likable either IMO but he's appealing to certain demographics (regular blue-collar workers, hardcore christians etc.) and he's holding onto that. I think he'll pull through; be surprised if he did not.

    ABC news has a live stream. As does CBS and NBC. Al jazeera will probably cover it too. If channel 4 have some coverage it might be worth watching.

    Not sure that tells us much
