They just put up the poll release if anyone wants to look more closely through all the numbers:

Latino vote on the rise, polling starts to suck.....coincidence?

Not at all, apparently Spanish speaking polling is just too difficult this year again.
My dad gets calls apparently as does my mother. My dad speaks English just fine but my mom prefers Spanish. Even in CA she still gets strictly English calls for the election half the time.

Also saw some of those Amir0x posts, dude has no chill sometimes.

The guy goes hard and I appreciate that, but he's also overly bitter about 24/7.

wth is up with that background moire

This week Conan's doing all of his shows at the Apollo Theater in NYC.


Also I totally said I wouldn't look at this thread again today, turned out I lied. Nice to see things look a bit more hopeful than they did yesterday.

I'm on team pigeon. We are headed for a 8-10 point blowout. I just cannot fathom Trump supporters going to polling booths as planned on election day and everything goes smoothly. There is going to be so much confusion and chaos. Obama's operation was a thing of beauty. It was a heirarchical operation guiding and turning out everyone every step of the way till the ballot was cast. Trump has to rely on local gop operations for a statewide affair. There is a huge disconnect.

They say partisans usually vote early, so they know their polling locations etc. Even in that regard Hillary is winning.

Only real concern is complacency. Team hill is focused on it and should be a nonfactor by the ens.

He'd been posting really aggressively in the politics threads. I thought he'd been toeing the line just enough, looks like must've went a bit too far. I'd be surprised if it wasn't a politics thread that did it.

I wish Vice News Tonight were longer, here's hoping it'll blow up, ratings-wise. It's a great way to do a daily news show. It's on HBO btw.

The problem with Vice News Tonight is that it is on HBO. I don't even have cable, nevermind having HBO on top of it. I don't know how Vice thinks it can be a big news company for young people when it sits behind two paywalls. I don't watch any of their stuff that isn't on YouTube.

Really refreshing to hear Louis C.K.'s take on Hillary on Conan. It's exactly how I've felt since she won the nomination. I like her a lot and it's not some "lesser of two evils" thing. I voted for her proudly and unequivocally and I can't wait for her to be president.

[hipsterpants]

I wonder how many Trump supporters will try to vote without ever having actually registered.

I wonder how many won't know how to find their polling location/go to the wrong one.

I say the second one because even "educated" college students still don't know you can just google everything.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'll be exhausted.

My mom is panicking about filling out a ballot. She has anxiety issues and so doing new things (no matter how trivial) stresses her out. She's trying to back out of voting, but I'll get her there.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Obama in NH on Mon.

 

[Hooligan69]

No. Fuck him. The senate can still be won.

Oh how I hope she instantly starts an investigation into Comey, turning the tables on that partisan fuck!! Investigations for everybody!!!! It's payback time!! Let's check some Republican emails.

That's cute. You think this'll be over after election day.

Sorry. This is the election that will never die.

Agreed.

I feel like every since convention season I haven't been as productive of a person. I've been devoting entirety too much time, energy and attention to this race and I'm ready to settle back down.

 

[Valhelm]

Looks like we've weathered the storm of uncertainty everyone. Though we still have the barrage of final national polls to come. We just need to keep in mind that internal polls from Dems, Reps and Non-partisans are implying a 4-6 point national lead for Clinton.

Why do you believe so?

Or how many even know the polling location's timings. Or the correct ID/paperwork to bring. Or even when the election day is!!!

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Midwestern state with a lot of white voters and doesn't have a major metropolis to anchor urban progressives like Minneapolis. Plus Scott Walker has done everything possible to destroy liberal institutions there.

Has there been any trend of young people moving out though? I get that it's not as reliably blue as the coastal states but I'm not seeing any real trends that it's moving red outside of losing some midterm elections.

Trump scares me when I see him talking about going after his opponents. I don't want Hillary to go down that road.

 

[IamDodongo]

Just voted.

+2 for Clinton, Ross, and Cooper in NC. My girlfriend (a fellow gaffer) voted as well.

 

[Futureman]

I realize this might be a stretch, but does anyone have any anti-animal Stein oppo I could drop on my vegan friend?

He lives in NC and isn't voting for Clinton. Yea pretty much any candidate won't be perfect for a vegan but maybe there's something especially stinky I could send him.

 

[StopMakingSense]

I wonder how many Trump supporters will try to vote without ever having actually registered.

Wasn't there some report on how non-college educated whites hadn't really registered in any particularly greater numbers than before? Think I read something to that effect.

 

[BotoxAgent]

Wiener can fuck off. I hope he has no political future left after all this

 

[RustyNails]

Still a double-digit truther here.

BELIEVE. ANIME IS REAL.

On top of everything, Trump is depressing his own vote by saying the shit is rigged. There are stories about morons carrying their ballot to the county board and submitting in person because DEMONCRATS will destroy their mail.

The signs are all there. Everyone open your eyes. Anime is real.

Was afraid that was going to happen given how he was going. I hope it isn't permanent.

Any word on the strike in Philly?

A winning scenario for Trump involves turning out large numbers of mostly non-college educated white voters, including people who may have never voted before. I would say not having a significant GOTV operation is going to turn ED into a clusterfuck for him.

 

[Christian]

I know people think that Trump is going to try to drag out his time in the spotlight once the election is over, and, yes, there will probably be some nutters that take their protesting a little too far, but I think the sense of relief we'll get when the results come in and we see that democrats won the presidency and control the Senate will bring some closure for a lot of us. I know it will for me.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Why do you believe so?

Last week was a brutal combination of tightening polls, underwhelming early voting numbers and the Comey thing which injected a great deal of fear and anxiety into most of us. Here we are now almost a week later with stabilising polls, improving early votinf numbers and plenty of evidence that Comey didn't cost Clinton the white house. 6 days away from the election means almost all votes are baked in. Obviously you can never be 100% sure but I think most of us are feeling much better than we were 5 days ago.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

How long after the election before we have a "romneypumpinggaswithmessyhair.png" from Trump?

Read the statement from the strikers. They said they will suspend their strike on voting day and resume public transportation (if it drags that long) so people can vote.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Has there been any trend of young people moving out though? I get that it's not as reliably blue as the coastal states but I'm not seeing any real trends that it's moving red outside of losing some midterm elections.

I get what you're saying but four years ago the same case could have been for Iowa and now it leans GOP. If Feingold really is in a toss-up race for Senate seat I think that's a pretty good sign that the state is trending red.

When do you think the last time Trump pumped gas even was?

Romney isn't that kind of rich guy. When Trump loses, he will create a vindictive media empire to destroy everyone who wronged him.

Where is that statement? It is the opposite from what has been reported locally.
