    Yes. Dukakis got a bump in late July on the day after the convention which showed a 15 point lead. It quickly dissipated down to 7 points a week after and then trailing by 4 the week after that which was the first poll after the Republican convention.

Workers' wages have fallen everywhere, in real terms, because they have behaved like mugs and, mostly, failed to fight. Usual old game.
    so you blame the victims.

    Standing before a US map, analyst Steve Kornacki broke down for host Yasmin Vossoughian the president’s uphill battle to get within striking distance of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

    “What we have here is our first look from NBC at what the electoral map looks like right now,” he explained before adding, “Things could change.”

    “Remember, Trump had 306 on election night, 2016. How many does as he have as of now in August? We think he only has 125 in the bag and we think Biden is sitting there at 334 — these are the states that are solidly Biden and the states that are leaning Biden.

    “What we’re seeing is big gains for the Democrats,” he continued. “Where are the Democratic gains on this map from 2016? Six states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin — we talked about those — all of the polling in those states have been very encouraging for the Democrats, plus Arizona and Florida — that is a big one, 29 electoral votes — and North Carolina. Those six states, we think, right now, are leaning toward and moving toward the Biden column and those six states add to what Hillary Clinton had: 334.”

    Kornacki added that the Trump campaign is now being forced to play on defense by trying to keep the states they won in 2016 because they have made no inroads on states Clinton won.
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    In just four years. Think what another four years of chaos and idiocy could do.
    What "technicality"?? He won because the Electoral College voted him in, per the Constitution...

    My take is similar to this. The "powers that be" in this world want a one-world government system, and the USA currently stands in the way of that pipe dream.

    I agree with your post up until your immigration statement. Some illegals come here to work, some come here pregnant for us to pay for pre natal care and childbirth and pediatric care. Some come here to sell drugs some come here to do nothing and suck what they can from sanctuary everything while committing crimes against american citizens

    Immigration does not belong in any conversation about Illegal Immigration and the rape of our border

    Trump is ahead in Florida which he won by only 1.5% and we know the old conservatives are dying and we have many Dems who have moved here from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria who will vote for Biden.
