There will be moves to block his delegates, but I don't think that amounts to much.

He gets there, but he loses. Do Third parties benefit? The media loves to cite this or that poll, all over the place, about their popularity, but if you look closely at the data, the support is weak. Money is the big factor and Cornell West and RFK Jr and NoLabels don't have any and are having trouble raising any.

7.5% lead in PA. Friends of mine in the precint where I used to volunteer there say it's even more than that.

I stick with my original prediction, Biden, and 400+ electoral votes, including all the states he won in 2020 plus North Carolina, Ohio and Texas.

He'll make it to the general election... WestMichRad Jan 2024 #7

Yes, the poll is asking for multiple prediction. DC77 Jan 2024 #9

The reason I included that it would be close in the second choice is because in the thread I link to Quixote1818 Jan 2024 #11

Not sure why anyone would think it won't be close considering his last two elections were extremely close. MyNameIsJonas Jan 2024 #12

Because he's a blithering idiot and a criminal? WestMichRad Jan 2024 #14

He was all those things in 2020. MyNameIsJonas Jan 2024 #17

Yeah, it's wishful thinking that it will be a blowout no matter how insane Trump becomes. nt Quixote1818 Jan 2024 #15

Unfortunately, this is going to be an extremely close election mahina Jan 2024 #8

This poll, of course, is meaningless. I do think his cognitive decline is becoming more and more obvious. NNadir Jan 2024 #13
