If the economy does falter, I would think that a Trump win would be all but impossible.

Sure, the pollsters blew it last time, in part because so many Trump voters refused to answer polls or misled the pollsters.  Perhaps more importantly, Trump must have gotten some inconsistent voters to vote in the upper Midwest, and Clinton blew the turnout in these states big time.  Both of these occurrences skewed the models the pollsters rely upon.  I would expect the legit pollsters (Gallup, Quinnipiac, NBC/WSJ etc.) to be cautious about these effects next time, and make reasonable adjustments.  The legit pollsters do have some professional pride.

Ah, yes, those distant echoes of TRUMP saying he's going to surround himself with the "best people"! It's like him saying we're going to have the biggest and the best health care insurance at the lowest cost. Or that perennial favorite of Greg, Mexico paid for the wall!!!

I was watching CBS and they would NOT call Florida for Trump even when he had a 3.5 point lead with 96%+ of the vote counted in that State.

At the point that everyone else had given Florida to Trump, they were still holding out.  Joe Biden needed fully 100% of the remaining votes to tie him and they were postulating scenarios that he could possibly win.

Fox did the same thing from what I'm told, they were hanging on to Florida by the skin of their teeth, Hoping Biden might win when it was obvious he lost it.

Then contrarily, with nearly 1 Million votes outstanding in AZ, Fox called the race for Biden. Now I don't know how they reconcile that inconsistency, perhaps they are mind readers.  

It looks like it will be at least a day, perhaps a few until we know the outcome.

I'm just wondering how many bags of ballots the Democrats will find in a closet as they did with Al Franken in Minnesota.

I put nothing past the Democrats.  

I'm thankful that Repubs held the Senate, as the purported Blue Wave never materialized.  

I know this much, polling is dead in this nation and so is the leftist, biased media who openly act as workers for the DNC.

Hi Patrick:

Good to see you again.  Were you shocked at the early VA returns, or was it obvious to the residents that Fairfax etc. had yet to report?

According to the GA Secretary of State, Perdue's vote tally is now at 49.98%  There are 47277 ballots still out.  But it looks like a runoff for control of the Senate is in fact coming to Georgia.
