Trump in a Landslide: Here's Why

How does one know what the voting public thinks?

Once upon a time, long, long ago, public opinion polls may have reflected, however faintly, some generalization of public opinion. For a multitude of reasons, that is no longer true. To demonstrate that point, compare the August 29 Rasmussen poll showing President Trump’s approval rating of 47 percent with the Quinnipiac reported approval rating of 38 percent. Even more irrational are the Quinnipiac poll result that whatever is left of Joe Biden would beat Trump 54 percent to 38 percent in a general election and the Economist poll number that asserts that 55 percent of the public thinks the country is headed in the wrong direction. It is a near certainty that none of those numbers reflects reality.

So, discarding the meaningless political polls, I went to the most accurate opinion poll I am aware of for my pre-quadrennial presidential forecast: the Washington County (Pa.) Agricultural Fair.

The GOP better start thinking about the deficit and reduce spending now. It will be hard to do with the dems controlling Congress, but something needs to be done. Trump and team need to fight harder than the Left who continue to work against him to make him fail.

He won over 2600 counties to Clinton 480 something. Trump has only gotten stronger. He is NOT going anywhere...

When will Trump become a Republican and stand for Republican values and fiscal responsibility ?

Haven't heard about him handing out cargo planes of tax payer cash to terrorists, so that sounds like fiscal responsiblity to me! He hasn't sold plutonium to a country that every Democrat thinks rigged our election, but seem to be fine with the idea of them controlling our nuclear material. That sounds fiscally responsible to me. I can go on, like Fast and Furious, guns provided to cartels, etc. You get the idea.

He's lost all 4 votes in our family. We are seniors. And he's done nothing to help us.
We are definitely worse off now than 4 years ago.
Will be voting Democrat this go round..

I'm talking about Trump not anyone else . My mom used to say that 2 wrongs don't make one right . Look in the windshield instead of the rear view mirror fool

Trump will never win CA, NY, NJ, VT-ME, IL, CO. Those states will go democrat if Satan had a (D) next to his name.
With that sort of head start, they only need a couple of more states. Very hard for Trump to win.
