Polls are meaningless. WE must make it TOO BIG TO RIG! They WILL try!

⁠they will get sloppy out of desperation and get caught red handed before this is over

[au-contraire]

If you wouldn't be given the responsibility to oversee a store or a school trip, you probably shouldn't oversee the biggest economy in the world. This is putting party and party relationships before the people and their needs. People want somebody capable and somebody they can relate to. This is why Trump got so popular- because he came from outside and is not a career politician and because his voters see him as capable. Choose a successful Democrat people love and respect who is not a career politician to run for office. There are such people with over 70% of support from all voters (Democrats and Republicans). Stop ramming down people's throats those candidates who don't win the majority in the polls. It's elementary!

I don’t think people are voting for Biden they’re just voting against Trump. Like last time. The world’s a mess.

[onlineperson]

They said 38% approval is only 2 year low. Americans have not approved of getting their lives ruined by this guy all term. It terms out people are unhappy when they can no longer afford anything.

[Ks]

Trump spoke of kitchen table topics but feeble guy kept mumbling nonsense.

[cesarmo]

It’s a sad statement that there are that many people who still support Brandon and his incompetent DEI selection. How much damage has to be done before they wake up?

[Ridethebomb]

Thank you DNC for what is turning out to be 5 star summer entertainment ! I'm just praying that whoever writes for K.H puts together some more stupid sayings its like a slow motion dumpster fire !

[NHLblkgurl]

So underwater, we may need to hire James Cameron to conduct the next poll.

[markdunigan]

The daily poll that comes up daily on my local ABC station web page showed 13% of the participants thought FJB had another 4 years in him.Its concerning that anyone thinks he has another term in him considering his rapid mental decline and to be honest I'm not sure he should be allowed to finish this term.

[ericwilliams]

I see nothing logical in people complaining that the candidates didn't discuss education or healthcare. The parameters of the debate were not set by the participants, but people are entirely too stupid to reach that conclusion.

[GaryFord-iboz]

1/ 3 cant read at a 4 grade level
Another 10 % cant speak english at any level

[angeloreina]

One would have to ask the question as to what the 1/3 of the people were watching who thought Biden did better

[stephenwalsh]

SAVE AMERICA , YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN....VOTE FOR TRUMP IN NOVEMBER LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT DOES.

[theDemocraticway]

Which actually means that the traditional demographics that gave the right answers are suddenly not so dependable.

[anthonyvenney]

Joe Biden is like Humpty Dumpty. Joe fell off the wall the night of the debate. And even all the fake news and lying media cannot put Joe back together again.😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dawnpatrol]

So underwater, Jack Cousteau is being brought in

[deannadelmar]

Voting 🗳️ Blue. Voting for President Biden.

This poll is via TROLLS!

[christopherjohnsbarrymore]

She is nor a doctor!! She has a honor degree not a real degree.

[davidmcguerty]

Oh, you mean Joe's wife is still optimistic about the situation? She's very impartial as you know...
