And before you scoff because it's CNN/SSRS please note that the very conservative RealClear politics website rates CNN as the second highest rated pollster(They don't have a listing for 2024 for whatever reason)

Being illiterate seems to be a desired qualification. I imagine L McMahon will help with this

I was surprised that last night seems to be mostly cheers for Trump.

He may be unpopular from a nation-wide perspective, but when it comes down to the electoral map, I don’t think we would see a very close race.

The game last night was not far from his home in S. Florida so cheers weren't surprising. When you say the electoral map, are you talking about the presidency or the mid-terms? I'm confident we'll flip a lot of seats in the mid-terms if the 2025 special election victories in red states are any indication. In fact, It should be a wipeout.

That’s not a local crowd, so I wouldn’t factor in proximity so much.

and I hope you are right, but maga has had much better strategies for winning critical elections. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that Peter Thiel is the largest shareholder/founder of the Palantir and the level of psychographic analysis maga does on elections. States elections are less important, but we already see Musk pouring $10mm into a primary race in Kentucky. They know it’s not about getting the most votes, it’s about getting the right votes. Just like they knew that trans rights was an area that was going to turn folks away from Dems. And they have no problem platforming lies in order to achieve their goals.

The money and more importantly data, will be used to help republicans win critical races. Just like Trump won all the swing states by a small margin. They knew exactly what they needed to win by just enough. That is what concerns me vs polls that show how unpopular he is.

Yawn... All this back and forth doesn't mean ****. 95% of Republicans are going to vote Republican when they walk into that voting booth. Ditto for Dems. That's just the plain old truth of the matter. There's about 15-20% of folks that flip back and forth that will decide the elections... same as always. Hell, even after the Watergate hearings, Nixon still had a quarter of the country behind him.

It's those Independents that flip things back and forth. It will be the same in 2026.

I believe some of that 95% are looking elsewhere for a viable choice or just not voting

Miami fans were locals and Indiana fans come from a red state, hence the cheers.

In the special elections, we saw many seats in red states overturned, including a district in Georgia that was specifically gerrymandered to stay ruby red, so that gives me hope.

Also, it didn't matter when Musk poured millions into Wis last year so money may not be the gamechanger you'd expect it to be.

How do you screw up a strong, healthy economy with record AI-driven CapEx investment driving GDP growth? Exactly what Trump has done - inflationary tariffs, threatening the independence of the Fed, hyperaggression towards enemies and allies alike, lacking a clear vision for economic growth, record deficit spending…. I could go on.

Well, I don't know if the numbers will back that up or not... I'll give you the source for my 95% claim. Looking back at it, I see that I overstated the percentage as the actual numbers are between 90 and 95%, but here you are. To be fair, I only looked at 2024, but suspect it's held true over time. I HOPE, HOPE, HOPE that you are right about people looking elsewhere for a viable choice, but unfortunately, I THINK that you are wrong.

A weak, limp lib trying to call someone out for beta mentality 🤣
I’ve truly seen it all
The scenarios you create in your head in order to dismiss someone who’s objectively smarter than you are entertaining. Very comfortable that I meet your lame definition of an alpha - it’s just so incredibly weird to be calling an anonymous poster a beta like you do…. Screams small DE

Nobody knows you, freak, but I obviously live in that weak a$$ mind of yours. I haven’t even posted in this thread and you’re tagging me.
You’re a weak little baby- back b!tch . Work on that before calling me out

Haha I am entertained by people like you - I don’t get any in-person interaction with similar people so you provide a window into an interesting world.

Thank you.
And yes, not surprising a cat lady doesn’t get much in-person interaction. You should get out more
