    About half of voters say that, if given the chance, they would replace both candidates on the ballot.
    With the election still more than six months away, a new Pew Research Center survey finds that the presidential race is virtually tied: 49% of registered voters favor Donald Trump or lean toward voting for him, while 48% support or lean toward Joe Biden.

    There have been dozens of NC polls with Trump up 2-3%. The linked poll is clearly flawed. +10%. Sure.

    Lol... Biden is NOT winning in North Carolina. That is a Dem's pipe dream.

    If Trump is truly that far ahead in AZ and WI, Bidumb doesn't stand a chance.

    I'm wary of proclamations regarding Biden having no chances. The media and the DNC will not go down without a fight. I think a lot will happen between now November, and a lot of it will be wargamed and/or scripted. I don't have any idea what that entails or what it will look like, but the DNC and MSM operate at a very high strategic level in information warfare. They are very skilled in their craft of population/voter manipulation.

    My counter to this is that if it was that easy, why aren't they already doing it?

    I have no doubts they will try, but at the end of the day, their "candidate" is an empty suit. You can only do so much when there's a legitimate candidate on the opposing side and your guy is Joe Biden. For perspective, Biden was up 5.5 points nationally at this same juncture in 2020.

    Who is to say they haven't been doing it for years? BLM, COVID, and 1/6 are all examples of what I am talking about. The DNC knows how to manufacture votes. They know how to stir up divisions. They know how to wage a political propaganda war. The propaganda arm of the DNC might be the most powerful force that determines elections in this nation.

    Unless we keep the drop boxes out until they find "new" votes.

    I hear ya. It's just as it was with Hillary. They are stuck with Joe Biden and there is only so much you can do when Joe Biden is your centerpiece.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe many of the 'battleground states' tightened up their election laws after 2020. It's just really hard to see them driving the turnout for Bidumb.

    Who's the legitimate candidate? The guy faces 91 felony counts?

    And 8 years ago, Hillary Clinton was up 4 points at this point. Still lots of time, and the one thing the current Trump trial is doing is reminding the American public just what kind of sleazebag Trump is.

    Possibly. I think you underestimate the DNC's and the MSM's ability to actually script out what they want in the news cycle over the next year. They've had 3 years to plan what the news is going to be this year. We've entered a point in time where they can essentially choose what they want the news to be at any point in time. If they wanted another George Floyd this year, then they could go out and find it and make that dominate the news cycle over the next year. If they wanted a story as high profile as George Floyd, except they want it to be a pregnant woman who was unable to get an abortion for (insert whatever reason they think will stoke the most national outrage), then they can literally make that happen. They could go recruit a woman ahead of time (planning for the 2024 election cycle), and they could tell her to get pregnant at a very specific point in time so she could be the feature story of this election cycle.

    The DNC has the power to choose the news. What happens in the news this year will be what the DNC chose the news to be (within certain limitations). And that is what power looks like. If you can control the news cycle, then you can heavily influence an election.

    Never said that. I said it wasn’t a 10 point spread but why expect reading comprehension skill to develop now?

    So there are numerous posters in this thread that think the last election was stolen WHILE Trump was in power. Is Biden not gonna more easily steal this election since he's in power now? Why do you care about polls?

    Talk about reading comprehension deficiency. I never accused you of saying anything... I simply added my voice to the conversation and said that Biden has NO chance in hail to win North Carolina.

    I really think this is going to tighten up more than the op thinks it is heading into the actual election. As it stands now trump, despite his very obvious flaws, looks like the presumptive favorite. I think it’s funny that people are claiming the msm is good at info warfare when right wing media has basically brainwashed half the country but to each their own I guess.
