    Who picked the sign for him to stand in front of.

    It's basic error stuff.

    Why is he back in Minnesota. Is that twice in one week?

    That's interesting, Minnesota should not be a concern for the Dems, going by polling data. Lots of other places to aim for or shore up.

    Thanks for editing that in, though I'm not sure it's as promising for trum pas you made out - the black percentage is down 1.1% but that is offset by the Asian vote (where Trump is also behind Biden massively) raising by 0.9%.

    Much, much more worrying for Trump here is that the non college educated white vote, which was his absolute bread and butter in 2016, is down a whopping 4.9% as a total of the voters. The data in your link reads worse for him than it does for Biden.

    It's also heavily offset by far higher numbers of total votes being cast early, the 0.7% drop is more than compensated for by hundreds of thousands more votes being cast.

    where are you Joe...

    Prince music playing him onto the stage must've tricking him into thinking he was in the twin cities. That's how Joe rolls, on vibes and sounds. Not billboards.

    OK I think I see your confusion.

    Early voting according to TargetSmart, Florida, by Race+Education (only Whites are broken down by college and non-college, #privilege):

    African American voters as a percentage of 100% of early and absentee votes cast:


    2016: 13.4%
    2018: 13.8%
    2020: 12.7%

    ... However, you are not taking into account the number of votes being cast (see Graham's post)

    Coupling the early voting totals and the percentages we have the following estimate for number of African American early and absentee ballots in the state of Florida:

    2016: 114,437
    2018: 95,590
    2020: 130,164

    Ergo, there are clearly more African American early and absentee votes cast in 2020 than in either 2018 or 2016.

    No, no confusion. Some posters here, yourself included didn't read my post and went off on a tangent.

    I've looked at both figures for the last 2 weeks.

    Polls may be as unreliable this time as they were in 2016 when non college educated voters are considered. And national polls are meaningless. Biden winning is not assured.

    Nothing is assured and I don’t think many would disagree on either side.
    Re the 2016 polls, I’m sure they had Clinton at around 2-4% nationally during the last week which was somewhat reflected in the actual (popular) vote.

    85,259,745 is that number accurate for early voting already?
    https://targetearly.targetsmart.com/?view_type=National&demo=Race%20+%20Education&demo_val=All

    43,991,614 says in 2016.


    With those stats, it might not be all that bad for Biden after all? You would think early voters are more inclined to vote democrat? It's a pity we don't have a breakdown for the 85 million voters and their exact location. Joe Biden receiving 10 million extra votes in California not going to help him flip states. A few million new votes in battleground states would.

    Early voting jumps here since 2016 are staggering and maybe an overlooked problem for Trump.

    Fine, it seems so.

    It's immaterial either way.

    Much more interesting is why is he back in Minnesota?

    The interesting side of politics rather than the repetition that goes on in this thread .

    Is there any interest at all in the election?

    Overlooked?!! Where have you been? So far 67.6% of the *total* 2016 vote has been cast.

    You can get a breakdown by most states from this excellent source: https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/index.html

    People have been screaming about this so I don't see how you feel it has been overlooked. On the whole, a huge turnout is never a good thing for an incumbent or in modern elections - the Republican candidate.

    It's starting to dawn on everyone that the polls have been insane and are now in the process of scraping back some credibility. I assume this is coming as a surprise to those who bought the hype.

    I would say it's more avoiding complacency which is a wise strategy. Biden camp has constantly avoided it.

    Polls are BS and so easy to manipulate.
    I know this from experience.

    A terribly weak straw to cling to
