    ABC had a poll out last week that had Biden winning Wisconsin by 17 points. Opps

    Really interesting looking at the county voting in Nevada.

    Joe Biden is leading only 1 county yet leading overall.

    Most of those red bit might only have 1000 or less people in an area the size of Ireland, so yeah, the one county with all the people living in Las Vegas counts for more.

    Just cashed out on Paddy Power, I'm not willing to go through this any longer.

    I originally betted 225 euro and got back 296.48 when I cashed out.

    I said the same here last week and that Trump would claim victory prematurely then pursue it through the courts.

    Pursue what exactly - they already went to the Supreme Court and lost on mail in votes in Pennsylvania. He's kind of running out of room.

    This, pp and so on are only taking small bets and in no way indicate much. Betfair has 463 million matched on the one market alone, there's astronomical money being won and lost there. You can be sure the traders at pp are keeping a close eye on the exchanges for their prices

    They are the same company so... probably :D

    Of course back in the real world jobs and economic growth are more likely under a Democratic president than a Republican. In fact job contraction is a feature of Republican presidents (Trump / Bush Jnr / Bush Snr). Economic growth and job creation happens under Democrats (e.g. Clinton / Obama).

    Ridiculous comment. Trump had the economy booming until this year. There's not a candidate in history that would have kept it going through COVID.

    You haven't being paying attention the last 4yrs if you don't think they can work an angle. He has the AG and SC on his side once they come up with one.

    GDP was down 36 percent. Has rebounded 33 percent. No other nation on the planet has had such recovery.

    Not ridiculous at all. Look at job numbers and economic growth under Clinton and Obama versus the 2 Bushes and Trump - it's striking how much better the economy does under Democratic presidents. Put aside your bias and do some research.

    But of course I know if you just totally ignore the disaster for the last 8 months everything is rosy. You Trumpists are hilarious.

    Trump had nothing booming, the first two years of any presidency the economics are entirely dependent on the predecessors decisions.

    It turns out a significant amount of black and other minorities in America either aren't bothered by racial equality or believe Trump isn't as bad as he is made out to be.

    Why are you still talking about the polls? It's the votes that matter now.

    He lost in the Supreme Court just last week on Pennsylvania - "his" Supreme Court. The AG can't overrule the Supreme Court. It came as a shock to Trump that the judges on the Court actually upheld the law and didn't pull a stroke for him.

    Amazing that he managed to keep an 8 year bull market and booming economy going for another couple of years.

    Democrats more empathetic and thus, more likely to entertain opinion polls?

    They set up a country between the Germans and the Ruskies. That was a recipe for disaster.

    If Biden can win it today without needing Pennsylvania it will be best for everyone because PA will take a few days to sort and it will just rumble and rumble. Trump's nonsense will be a lot less effective if PA isn't in play.

    Oh maybe to highlight the fact they are utterly useless and are sometimes used as a propaganda tool?

    Trump has been good for blacks. People presume black people aren't smart for some reason and can't see through the media BS about the President, they can and realize he's doing an outstanding job.

    Also the majority of blacks aren't interested in the Democrats defund the police message. They want security not anarchy

    Wisconsin looks to be sealed by Biden.

    Trump is leading in many counties wth low % results but Biden is leading in the high population areas and will likely drown out the lower population.

    But WI "only" has 10 EC votes. PA has 20 and GA has 16, and Trump is leading in both those areas. I don't know how Biden will do it if Trump takes PA and GA?

    It sort of dumps the scweaming and scweaming over the court, doesn't it?

    The market has gone to record levels by some distance looking at any of the indices under his presidency to be fair and that's held up through a global pandemic. I'm no Trump fan but that's a fact.
