"SNIP...........

A new CNN poll finds voters in Michigan and Pennsylvania – two states that flipped from red to blue in the 2020 presidential election – begin this year’s general election campaign more dissatisfied than pleased with the candidates they have to choose from, with a fairly small but crucial share saying they are open to changing their minds on the race.

The surveys of registered voters find a dead-even race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in Pennsylvania (46% each), with Trump ahead in Michigan (50% Trump to 42% Biden).

1. What are they bitching about, I remember Nixon versus Humphrey

2. No comparison between Humphrey and Nixon. None.

6. Neither were anti-Vietnam war.

When a significant portion of the population was anti-Vietnam.

8. I know that. I supported Eugene McCarthy.

But Humphrey was no Nixon. I think if he had beaten Nixon he would possibly have reverted to his earlier position on Vietnam.

3. This is pretty much true of any election...

...it's rare that any candidate is so loved that there aren't people who will have differences with that candidate but still strongly want them to win against the opposition.

The article headline is intended to make the public believe there is no good choice this one election, but they've based that insinuation on the false premise that all voters don't want either candidate to win.

4. I blame the MSM. And social media for distorting facts.

Also… the constant bothsiderism has poisoned the minds of voters and programmed them to believe that both parties suck.

It’s effed up.

5. Biden is really struggling in Michigan.

I'm sure the campaign is locked in on that fact but the state is getting dangerously close to being out of play for him.

I know it's so easy to get lost in the argument that the polls are wrong but the last time ANY poll had Biden up in Michigan was all the way back in early November.

The good news I guess is that CNN's last poll had Trump up 50-40 in Michigan, so he's seen a two-point improvement.

But Trump being at 50% in a state he won 47.7% of the vote four years ago is a concern.

We gotta hope the polls are dramatically off because in terms of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, he hasn't led in any poll since January and in regards to Michigan and Wisconsin, no poll this year as shown Biden leading.
