US Presidential Election 2020

[Trader Pat]

When this election is over I'm going to do everything I can to avoid American news and politics

You'll have to avoid the news altogether - there's no getting away from American politics.

Yep its not going to be easy! Think I'll go back to getting my news by looking out the window! I know that means I'll get a very localised view of the world but it doesnt seem to have done the Americans any harm

Have you read Alain De Botton's book on the news? I laregly concur. The news is mostly guff and the less you consume the better.

There used to be a paper in the UK that only printed good news, but it hasn't had anything to print for the last 15 years.

Looking at the Aus. election the winning party was 6% behind in the TPP 2 months before, the week before still 2-4% behind and the exit polls had them 4% behind, they won by 1.5% in the end and cleaned up.

People probably feel like they'll be victimised if they say they support Trump as it's shown in the news almost daily, Trump is going to continue to get stronger through the debates so people who completely trust the polls are barking up the wrong tree imo.

It is like the Bradley effect (discounting the race)

Most people who support Trump watch Fox news so they probably have no idea or care what other news channels are saying. I agree you should never completely trust the polls but you should never completely discount them either.

Evidence?

There's actually lots of articles about this if you google it but its mostly from sources like CNN, Washington Post etc... and I'm guessing you'd have an issue with those sources so here's one from the Pew Research Institute

Are you going to be asking everyone who makes a statement on the thread for evidence to back it up or just people you disagree with? There's a cognitive bias in there somewhere.

I voted Boris in the 2019 election and live in a Conservative dominated constituency but would still be cautious as to who I would tell.

Thanks - I was genuinely interested in the data, and the link you posted is itself interesting.

That whole salon episode hurt my head. The conspiracy guys were all over it (SB-145.) Sometimes I wish I had never looked down these paths but it's way better than Love Island or Towie.

I find it quite annoying that the graph is messed up due to the higher prices in an earlier stage. No way you can see the trends on the graphs currently, just will have to do it based on observations pre- and postsleep..
