The responses are quite simply, "we are fed up with the looting and rioting in Democrat cities. Trump did well with the economy. We are fed up with political correctness. Biden is senile and it's not right." Now that is the average Joe comments.

I think the MSM polls have hyper inflated Bidens support without taking in the 'shy' Trump voters along with average people who have not been polled. 

Plus aside from the MSM factor, the more honest poll taking is actually showing that the race is indeed narrowing with Trump one point shy from Biden. 

Honestly, like I said once again, it's the debates that will cement the result. If Joe doesn't show or flubs it's greatly, you can kiss goodbye to a Democrat victory.

You have to go by poll averages, not one poll that says Biden is 1 point ahead. There are a lot of polls. fivethirtyeight and realclearpolitics still show Biden leading by over 7 points. But that is down from 9.

It is amazing that people fall for these slogans. Trump ruined the economy by allowing the coronavirus to eat it up for half a year now. Why would anyone vote to keep us all locked in this prison, when real government action would open things up sooner?

And why are they not fed up with what causes rioting, which is not only police brutality, but provocateurs? And why do they buy the slogan about "Democrat cities" when almost all cities are majority Democratic, and Biden doesn't run any of them and never has? And if they are fed up, why not blame the man in charge of the country?

And what does it matter if some people correct your language? That may be irritating, but it doesn't affect the GDP or the national debt, not to mention growing poverty and environmental destruction and threats to democracy by the conspiracy-theorist-in-chief.

And why do they call Biden senile when he gave the best speech of his life at the DNC and Trump gave his worst at the RNC?

And I don't know about debates making the difference. Hillary won three debates and still lost the electoral college.

A mixed-up people, for sure.

What do you all think could have been done differently regarding this pandemic? Do you believe that Biden will reverse course on this if elected?

Certainly, he will. Coronavirus-19 is difficult to control. But Biden will do what Trump did not do. He will shut down the economy nationally if necessary-- not allowing the Republican governors of Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona etc to open it too soon. This may not be necessary if we can get a vaccine by the time Biden is inaugurated, or soon afterward. Then at least the economy could be carefully reopened, and the masks and social distancing rules relaxed. This also depends on the anti-vaxxers being left to their own devices. They should be allowed to get sick and not keep the rest of us in prison to coddle their delusions. But this depends also on the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. If Trump is re-elected, the vaccine will be poorly distributed and not available to the poor, who are most-affected, and thus the pandemic will continue. The pandemic is on the ballot.
