They make things complicated don't they.

Looks like the Republican candidate is kicking arse but NFI what that actually means.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Trump is slipping even further behind. Biden now leads by 8 points - that's a huge margin.

But if we're going to talk about polls...

Swing state poll in AZ, FL, MI, NV, PA, and WI:

Trump 48% (+3)
Biden 45%
*Change Research*



Another swing state poll just dropped...

Trump 52% (+7)
Biden 45%
*CNN*

No point quoting National Polls in an Electoral college system. Trump is killing Biden in swing states already and he hasn't started campaigning and neither have people seen Biden have a meltdown on national TV.

If the Dems stick with him, it's already over.

They're current polls in the states that will determine the election. One of them is a CNN poll, not sure what you don't understand.

Cenk and the Young Turks famous for the best meltdown of the 2016 election. Youtube doesn't show this video even if you search word for word for the title.

Sorry. They must offer a few freebie views in the UK as I'm not a subscriber. I've noticed with some sites it even depends on which link you click into them from as to whether or not they offer you freebies (they test and manipulate these things all the time, as you probably know).

I'm still cursing Bloomberg which used to be free and have a lot of great content, but now charges an arm and a leg :x

By Thursday (and with counting not closed for their day), they’re at 76,684 deaths.

So, he’s right about the 75,000. By Saturday (their time), he’s going to be right about the 80,000. Unfortunately, by the 20th of May, it’s all going to become a fib again as the USA whizzes past 100,000 deaths.

That, by the way, looks like a conservative estimate - in a couple of hours, the US will have over one million active cases. The numbers are getting back near 30,000 new cases per day (probably much higher, in truth) and the serious/critical cases present total is at 17,000.
And there it is. 80,004 deaths in the US. It's 6.56 pm, Saturday in Washington DC.
And there’s the 90,000 up (90,113 by midnight Saturday, GMT). It’s taken just a week for the US to record another 10,000 deaths. The arithmetic mean death rate per million of population for the entire US is presently 272 - it varies from a low of 12 (Wyoming and Hawaii) up to a high of 1,446 (New York State).

The US probably won’t reach 100,000 deaths by 20 May, but they’ll likely be there by next Saturday, their time (the 23rd).

I think the Trump and Chinese Virus threads are getting confused.
