For a party that says they’re way up in the polls, they sure seem nervous about losing, do they not?
Progressives unveil new agenda to pressure Joe Biden to the left
Democrats are warning their voters not to become complacent as Joe Biden builds up a formidable polling lead in the race for the White House.
Party leaders are seeing new polls that show the entire battlegrounds map move against President Trump with just over three weeks to go before Nov. 3. Republicans are beginning to worry that Trump could face a landslide loss that costs the party the White House and their majority in the Senate.
Why so nervous if they are about to blow Trump and the Republicans out?
But Democrats are still deeply scarred from 2016, when Democrat Hillary Clinton was viewed as the heavy favorite heading into Election Day.
They say that despite Biden’s polling strength, the political terrain is extremely volatile and that even small changes in their projected turnout models could produce wild swings in the Electoral College.
Democrats are urging activists to keep their foot on the gas in the stretch run, saying they can’t afford to rest easy until the race has officially been called in Biden’s favor.
Yet, Joe Biden mostly hides in his basement. What excitement does he create? How many yard signs and bumper stickers do you see? I live in a city that tends to vote Democrat, yet, I do not see any yard signs on my way to work or anywhere else.
“I think we’re putting that fear [of another upset loss] to good use and we’re being constructive in the way we’re approaching the election,†said Guy Cecil, the chairman of Priorities USA, the largest Democratic super PAC supporting Biden’s campaign. “Am I optimistic? Yes. But I do continue to have serious concerns and we need to continue to run through the finish line.â€
Cecil’s own polling shows Biden would be in line to potentially win a massive victory in the Electoral College if the election were held today.
The Priorities USA data finds 319 electoral votes leaning toward Biden, versus only 188 leaning toward Trump, with 31 up for grabs in Georgia and North Carolina.
Well, I guess we’ll see if this very far left poll holds true, but, the polls were saying the same thing in 2016. Heck, even Republicans were asking if Trump was trying to lose the race intentionally. We’ll know in less than a month. Of course, Democrats will have their late arriving mail in votes, and they’ll know just how many votes that will have to magically appear to win. Should be a fun recount and lawsuit time.
