The consensus here (which I largely agree with) is that polls are about manipulating public opinion instead of reflecting it. In 2016 they used polls to try to convince us of the inevitability of Killary's victory, which backfired big time. In 2020 they cranked that strategy up to 11, and combined with industrial scale voter fraud they managed to install the dementia ridden pedophile that's sitting in the White House right now. In both cases the game was to show the Dem consistently ahead of Trump so the intended steal had plausible deniability. This time around is different. Trump's polls are consistently better than they were in 2016 or 2020. Yes they're conveniently behind Kumswala's, but if they were employing the same strategy they did the last 2 times they would be showing him at least as far behind as they did in 2020. Clearly they're playing a different game this time around. I think they're scared shitless of a red wave overwhelming their fraud machine, so they're trying to create complacency in Trump voters and scare their own base into turning out so their dirty tricks can put them over the top again. But that's just my guess. I'm curious what everyone here thinks.

Trump isn't acting like someone whose campaign thinks the polls are close.
He just held a massive rally in New York City, a place where he has almost zero chance of winning. If he weren't confident that he was going to win the battleground states, his surrogates would be swarming them with rallies, not hanging out at what amounts to a massive party.
Not to say that he's guaranteed to win or that the steal isn't on, but simply going by optics it's looking like even the fake polls can't cover up his massive support.
I think he'll get 80+ million votes this time around.
He had better get 100 million.
I have no illusions that the left will just shrug their shoulders and go "oh well, better luck next time". They are going to cheat as hard as they can, and Trump is going to need as many votes as he can in order to make it impossible to hide.
