I'm just curious when this polling entity says 'national' what exactly does that mean. They have offices in DC/Virginia, New York, and Florida.
Mr. McLaughlin has been called a “Big Winner” by a leading political magazine for his work on some of the top races in the country. McLaughlin was one of only two Republican pollsters named as a part of Roll Call Newspapers’ Fabulous Fifty for his work and was also profiled as a “Mover and Shaker” by Campaigns and Elections Magazine. Mr. McLaughlin has worked on some of the top races in the country. During this past election cycle, he helped to elect President Donald J. Trump and McLaughlin & Associates helped win 5 of the 10 toughest congressional races in the country according to one respected publication. McLaughlin also helped to elect several other statewide GOP office holders that ranged from Governor, US Senate to Attorney General. McLaughlin & Associates has also been widely accredited for its accurate polling in predicting a Donald Trump victory.

Do you have a breakdown of this company's polling methdology? I'd like to know who they polled and where, exactly.
Then we have this Reuters poll:
Some 39% of registered voters in the one-week poll, opens new tab, which closed on Wednesday, said they would vote for Biden, a Democrat, if the election were held today, compared with 38% who picked Republican former President Trump. Biden's lead was within the survey's 1.8 percentage point margin of error.

And Biden's campaign coffers has double the cash of Trump, so I'm skeptical at this point in time that Trump will win.

Newsmax. I wouldn't say that's an unbiased source.
The poll wasn't by Newsmax.
The poll is just being reported by Newsmax.
When you dig into McLaughlin & Associates it quickly becomes apparent that just like Newsmax they are clearly a Right leaningTrump supporting business. Doesn't make them wrong or that what the say should be ignored. Clearly supporting Trump also doesn't mean they are infallible or that their poll information indicates anything other than how they are trying to shape their message.
They list 6 executives of which 5 clearly state they support or have worked for Trump or various GOP organizations.

I'm confused.
Are we supposed to listen to the polls or ignore the polls?

you are supposed to grasp that polls are meant to DRIVE public opinion, not measure it. Some can display factual information, but that isn't the main point.

So, that side is not allowed to think in your world? Seems that way and I am middle of the road type who just looks for the truth. You seem to be interested in hiding from it if you think blowing this off as Right wing will do.

You made a thread in the pit last year that claimed Trump would be back in office in April of 2023.
Either you refuse to acknowledge that blunder or don't remember.
And I should be asking you that same question. Do you actually believe that crap that comes out of your mouth?
LOL, no, I didn't. the way back machine still works, go find it and make me look stupid. Otherwise, there will be a stupid person in this conversation, but it won't be me. DERP!
here is a list of all my mudpit threads. Find it pinhead.

I didn't realize Biden was involved in these cases.
Seems to me, that is not the case.
By the way, I don't feel Biden is weaponizing the DOJ. Good projection though. And what do you think Trump will do if he wins? But of course, then, since it will be Trump, the hypocrites here will be all for it.
Actually, I am for ALL corrupt leaders to rot forevermore.
However, they have gone after Trump since before he was sworn in...Pelosi to impeach him...look it up.
If Trump was caught red handed, and I saw it with my own eyes, I will still have a hard time believing it.

Ok well I don't know how to use the way back thing because I don't have a need to. But you did predict that and it could have been on another thread you did not make.
Either way you have failed in all your predictions and will continue to do so and I will continue to laugh at your expense.
