According to Scott Adams, there are large numbers of Trump supporters intentionally giving false or misleading information to pollsters as a practical joke and not just because they are worried about people harassing them for their beliefs. He sees it is a way of thumbing their noses at the humorless mainstream media, and they are looking forward to seeing a snowflake meltdown similar what occurred in 2016.
Listen to the blog starting at 16:00 for a discussion of shy Trump supporters. After 20:30 Adams gets into the details about lying to pollsters as a prank that he calls “the world’s greatest dad joke”. https://www.scottadamssays.com/?powerpress_pinw=21042-podcast
If even a small fraction of surveyed Trump supporters have been telling pollsters they are for Biden, tomorrow’s election could turn into Trump winning the electoral vote in a landslide along with winning the popular vote as well.
Will tomorrow be the start of the biggest dad joke ever?
It can go either way, was just looking at some polls today were it say Arizona is now a tossup and Florida slightly favors Biden. So in the last few days I have heard that Arizona, Florida, and Pennsylvania are all basically tossups, meaning Trump could win all three or lose all three or any combination of the above. I am thinking it will way closer than people think.
The mainstream media will not appreciate being the butt of a practical joke, although I think that some on the left are starting to see eerie parallels with 2016. See the recent SNL Halloween opening for an example:
Later in his talk, Adams suggest that Democrats may attempt to use the misleading opinion polls to claim that the election results are invalid as part of “coup 2”. The prank may have unintended consequences.
I said from the get-go that this was going to be a turnout election. A high turnout favors Biden. And so far the early voting numbers are through the roof. Now typically Republicans tend to vote on election Tuesday.
However we do know that there were a lot of Clinton voters who stayed home four years ago. We also know that the third party candidates took away a noticeable percentage of the vote.
I really don’t think that a few folks lying to pollsters is significant. It may be why in some states the polls are all over the place. I also don’t think that the number of new registered voters translates into votes cast.
Poor guy can’t catch a break. The universe has always been aligned against him. If there’s one thing that is certain in this life, it is that Donald John Trump got the short end of every stick offered to him. You can take that to your secret Chinese bank.
