DNC

"I am much more concerned that somehow the best we could come up with was Trump/Clinton and now Trump/Biden."

And yet, for the first time in my life as a voter (since 1980), I feel there is only one acceptable choice. The best interest of the country and its future versus a fucking disaster. It's never been more clear.

Yeah, maga

Makes you wonder how many witnesses would have been called at the impeachment trial.

Biden's speech is good

Biden killing it up there.

This man gets it.

[twocoach]

That was what a Presidential address is supposed to look like.

[chiknbut]

It certainly helped that the Trump campaign spent the last three months talking about how Biden is feeble and losing it.

People tuned in hoping they could slog their way through a speech that saw an old man drool and stutter, forget lines and fumble with the teleprompter.

All he had to do was look OK and come away a winner. Instead he came across Presidential.

As I said before, I had forgotten how much Biden has done for our country. I was an enthusiastic supporter of Hillary but Biden is more inspiring. I hope we crush Trump and his enablers

[Mjl]

It was far superior to Hillary's speech in 2016

Will have to catch up on full dnc this weekend, but reading political twitter, I’m just sad that 43% are going to see Joe’s message, then whatever doomsayer message Trump puts out, and say “I think I want that Trump guy to get (at least) four more years.

No convention bump... I am worried.

We haven't see a quality post-convention pole released yet, and I only worry about quality state polling at this point.

Quality poleing groups haven't released as many poles this cycle, likely due to COVID, and a lot of the air taken out of the room by other less-reputable firms out there.

I think the reason is because there’s likely little movement due to the fact that there aren’t many undecided voters to move the polling. If this is indeed the case it’s very encouraging. All we need to do is get people to actually vote.

if the same people that voted in 2008 and 2012 would’ve voted in 2016, we wouldn’t have a president trump

it is absolutely imperative that as many people vote as possible, regardless of who is on the tickets. and this goes for primaries as well.

No bump for either. Steady polls are good. Shows predictability. The 8-point gap seems right with the generic ballot numbers, and hopefully Trump doesn’t thread the needle like he did in 2016. He’s in a much tougher situation this go around tho, so hopefully people vote and those votes count.

Except the Emerson polls yesterday, which 538 has as slightly Democratic leaning, showing it as a 2 percent lead for Biden now and Trump with a +2 approval rating.

That Emerson poll did look concerning, but digging down, it seems to be an outlier based on other polling, and the way that poll is laid out. Also, that poll has skewed Trump's way for a while, and has always seems to look like an outlier.
