Funnily enough, so many people are so polarised that anyone who can prevent themselves from being polarised is more powerful; they're the vote that politicians are battling each other for!
- greendragon 10y agoOnly if you're in a swing state.
- Jtsummers 10y agoYeah, but turns out some of us are in unexpected swing states. Georgia, of all places, was leaning Clinton for a bit. And Trump's lead isn't insurmountable, polling 4.3% above Clinton right now [0]. She probably won't win here, but it's unusual that she even held the lead at all. His drop, and her rise, on those trend charts corresponds with the first debate and its aftermath. It could be enough to pull things in her favor if she keeps bad press limited and the focus on him and wins the next two debates. A very unusual election year here.
