My man there's only 165 million registers voters in the United Stated. Roughly 10 million people worldwide listen to Joe Rogan. Idk where you're getting her reaching 100 million voters on a podcast.

Bunch of polls in 2016 incorrectly exaggerated/overstated Hillary’s lead over Trump. They could be taking a more cautious approach with this election

Nah I’m not talking about that. We’ve seen pollsters discuss adjustments in 2020 and 2022 to their methodology. I’m referring to these senate races that weren’t particularly close. Baldwin and Casey were polling significantly ahead of Biden in July and continued polling ahead of Harris in both WI and PA.
For any of this senate polling to be remotely accurate it would mean significant portions of the electorate are easily persuadable in either direction - which common sense tells us is not true.
What it does do is bring them back in line with Harris to explain away the gap between senate candidates and the presidential ones in those two states (if not others).
I could be wrong here but it’s fishy when there’s been nothing even notable about either candidate or either race to erase 6, 7, even 9 pt differences to now dead even over the past 3-4 weeks. It smells like horse **** to me.
Take this one of Gallego in AZ. I don’t believe for a minute he’s outrunning Harris by that much with women, whites and young voters, but even with this it’d be way more suspect if he was suddenly polling the same as Harris, which is the case in WI and PA senate races.

Did any one catch The Daily Show last night?
Jon Stewart was saying the comedian at the rally was funny... I was kinda surprised by that... Maybe my sense of humor sucks

I guess humor can be subjective. Having some sort of clever observation or punchline that involves race or something has always been around...but that dude isn't even a little funny. Like what was the joke?
"Jews are cheap and black people love watermelon" are some tired, racist tropes.

I see this a lot with podcasts
People think 100 million views is the same thing as 100 million individuals watching a full length show

Just run the numbers for that recent Trump episode across YT, X and Spotify. We're only one week away from election day. Kamala going on his podcast would surely break the internet and afford her with a golden opportunity to speak to an incredibly large audience. Obviously if she's way ahead and they don't feel she needs a push then certainly refrain from doing so. Personally I feel as it could only benefit her and believe she'd knock it out of the park.

Did you watch the whole thing or just a clip that may have been taken out of context? I felt like Jon was giving him a backhanded compliment, with the point being that it's what you'd expect from a guy who does roasts with wildly inappropriate jokes that are meant to humiliate people and he did just that, then tied it back to his original joke about Beyonce not singing at the Harris rally. I wouldn't take it too serious, TBH. The POINT of his monologue starts at the 8 minute mark...

I do not care how many views they have, those are often bs. You're suggesting 2/3 of all voters in the US will listen to Joe Rogan. That's preposterous.

The Harris Campaign needs to run this as an ad. For all the people who say that they can look past everything else because they are confident that Trump will restore 2019 prices on day one.
“I don’t care about all the mean things he says, gas is $5.00/gallon”
Vote for Trump and it may be $10/gallon, apparently.

Silly question: Why is there a gap between "early voting" and Election Day? Why not just make the entire period voting?

That makes it easier to vote, which is clearly something half the legislature doesn’t want.

Today at trumps press conference he really tried to say the economy is garbage but the only reason the markets have been hitting all time highs for the past 6 months was cause the markets knew he was gonna win.

Trump tosses paper towels to crowd in Puerto Rico visit
"There's a lot of love in this room, a lot of love," he said, before launching the rolls into the air like a basketball player shooting a free throw.
