In reply to the discussion: New Poll Shows Biden Trouncing Trump In 300 Swing Counties Across America 😎 [View all]Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)Come on, use a fleck of common sense. Swing counties are swing counties for a reason. They mirror the national breakdown. There is 0.0000001% chance that Biden leads those counties by 9 points while leading nationally by only 3 points.
The poll itself says that Hillary and Trump tied in those counties. Hillary won by roughly 2.5% nationally. Now they want us to believe that swing areas have shifted nearly 10 points in our favor yet the national distribution remains unchanged?
Tell it to an idiot. When there is a preference shift of that magnitude it drapes like a blanket. It would be felt everywhere. This is when I miss being in Las Vegas. As soon as some nutcase stat or poll came out we would laugh at it in unison.
This is no different than Rachel Maddow grinning in 2016 while waving a South Carolina poll in the air with Hillary trailing Trump by 4 points. If you have no clue regarding the big picture correlation then anything can stick.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
