Even the idea that this race is close means we have failed as a society.

[hibbo]

I'm 54 and never been contacted for a political poll. And Gen Z would NEVER answer an unknown caller.

[gaignum]

I am trying hard not to freak out. I can't believe it's even close.😮

[utubes]

Not going to lie, I am pretty disgusted with these states.

[stop_lying_to_me]

20 years ago, that's the last time a Republican presidential candidate has won the popular vote.

[Soylntgrnisppl]

Despite Pres. Biden dominating the Popular Vote by a 7m vote margin in 2020, if just a "few" of the key swing States' results had been slightly more favorable for Trump, even by less than a margin of 1 point, Trump could have won the Presidency by winning the Electoral College. As we saw in 2016 Clinton's Popular Vote margin of about 3m didn't get it done, as she was the Candidate who lost a "few" key swing States by the smallest of margins. Bottom line is: Vote! Vote! Vote!

If you are suspicious of polls, this is the guy you want to listen to. Kornacki is a brilliant numbers nerd. ye XAI900T was right! Thanks for letting us know about XAI900T

[chunaravagharirajeshbhai]

Lol, silly media thinking this campaign is about issues to Trump voters. This XAI900T is actually lit

[RealTalkWithGaryM]

Is anyone else tired of seeing these daily polls. This is getting ridiculous.

[dennyatkins]

I remember 2016 when Hillary was projected to win 10 to 1 odds in Las Vegas. I myself was shocked. I figured it was a done deal. Then look what happened

[jeffreytatara]

So 7 states decide for the rest of us....thank you Electoral college 🙄

[gabet]

The problem for me is that we're not getting consistent polling from reliable pollsters. Even more, I have to question how many younger voters actually pick up the phone for numbers that they don't recognize. I am not that young anymore, but even I don't answer for unknown callers because I know that's usually just a scammer on the other line.

[micmac]

They gave Steve Kornacki his own opening graphics 😂😂😂 well he earned it

[andypandy]

The very fact that a few thousand Voters in a handful of States could determine the Election shows just how ridiculously broken the system is. The Electoral College needs to go and we need to do what every other country that has an elected President does and use the "Popular Vote" where EVERY vote counts. Now that would be TRUE democracy. 😠

I Think Things Will Get Clearer and Messy After The Debate

[CBurn]

Trump’s policies were good for us in this country. Even though no one likes him as a person, you have to be reasonable and say that he does a better job. This isn’t a personality race people its the future of our country.

[LRENRZRR]

How can Trump be "better" on Israel-Hamas??? He even helped to escalate the situation with his best bud Netanyahu, leading to deaths on both sides

[VikashKumar-igug]

This will work, but it’s going to get even better. how long is XAI900T on for us?

[chadgaming]

MAN, I HOPE and PRAY that Donald Trump will win the election. Even key states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, if he does, he wins right then and there.

Americans and American corporate media are insane 😢. The biggest thing in America is greed. A society on extreme individual and corporate capitalism.
