Highly rated poll and very outlierish compared to others. Who knows.


granted trumpers gonna trump with the pickups and flags and such. that's usually saved for places like aj, new river and the white mountains. shit's hitting hard here in the valley and not only in republican strongholds like ne mesa, gilbert and sun city/peoria. uptown, midtown, glendale, arcadia and even south phx. it's like the 4th of july with the flags out here. tucson shouldn't be like this but hopefully it isn't?

My neighborhood has more Kelly / Biden signs than Trump. Saw a group of flag bearers at the Trader Joe's on Wilmot and Speedway. I am skeptical, but the latino community has been hit really hard here with COVID.

Trump won 2016 by obliterating Hillary in one demographic (non college educated white voters (64-28). That demographic made up 45% of the electorate in 2016 and has shrunk to 41% in 2020. Also, I am thinking you are going to see an uptick in 18-22 college enrolled voters this year because many of them are at home in their home districts rather than on campus.

I spend a lot of time with the 18-22 year old group. They are pretty unhappy with the way things are going.

Received this from the Camden County Dem Comm about an hour ago:

This week Camden County residents will begin receiving their vote by mail ballots and along with returning your ballot via traditional postmarked mail, Camden County has provided vote by mail (VBM) drop boxes throughout the county in advance of the general election on Nov. 3. The county will have 13 VBM drop box locations that will be available 24 hours each day through the close of polls on election day. Each location is well-lit, secured and monitored by video surveillance cameras.

I know NJ (and especially CC) is not in play but thought I'd share.

woo whooo, HR just stopped by to let me know we will have less training to do. There was an EO dropped that effects contractors that commands that any and all training related to racial or sexual diversity matters are now forbidden. Its long AF so I will let her TL;DR it, but that is because of all the legal definitions. Its freaking her out because if training is given then it breaks a new contract rule (and by HR, I mean my wife).

- If training is provided, then 'contracts may be cancelled' 'contractor shall be deemed ineligible for further awards or grants'
- If your sub does not comply, you get set on fire
- All training regarding diversity must be submitted to the USG within 30 days of the order for review

That is really something.

Also missing from my new rotation is the FL law mini-Trump wants that de-funds any county that reduces funding to police departments AND makes it so that drivers are not liable for death caused of the driver is fleeing from an angry mob. That is a get out of jail free card for anyone who wants to mow down protesters or people of any different circumstance.

Who knew that this would be an outcome of Charlottesville?

Also felonies for being at a protest where a crime was committed,if you are or are not involved in committing the crime.

Real Clear Politics average has Biden up 7.1 percent...was down in the 6's last week..he's also at 50% nationally...I don't think Hillary ever hit that number...

Trump's favorability has hovered around 42 or 43 percent for awhile now...I can't see him winning with that...

I can’t imagine many career civil servants will vote for trump. It take me back to 1972 and 76 when my dad, though a republican hated Nixon so much he voted write in 72 and carter in 76.

Now this is scary...

Trump's campaign is "discussing contingency plans to bypass election results and appoint loyal electors in battleground states where Republicans hold the legislative majority."
