Forget the Polls Trump Is Still Winning | The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

According to Nate Silver s FiveThirtyEight poll-based prediction, we enter the final weekend before Election Day with an 89 percent likelihood that Joe Biden will win. Basically, the odds are 8-to-1 against Trump s reelection. Yet the president s supporters are undaunted, recalling that Silver s final 2016 forecast gave Hillary Clinton a 71 percent chance of being elected and yet Trump beat her in a result that broke the Democrats so-called blue wall in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Miracles can happen in politics, and Republican voters are praying for another divine intervention next week. Bombarded by a barrage of discouraging news coverage even Fox News seems to be part of the Landslide Joe propaganda team now the conservative faithful quite desperately seek omens that may portend more hopeful tidings.

Well, there s this: Four days before the election, Joe Biden today is making a campaign trip to Minnesota, which, as Trump campaign communications chief Tim Murtaugh points out, is a state that hasn t gone to a Republican candidate for president since 1972. Also on Biden s campaign schedule today are stops in Wisconsin and Iowa. My friend Matt Margolis took a look at the poll data and concluded that the Biden campaign itself clearly doesn t trust the numbers:
