Last week Trend Line's Michael Stittle and Nik Nanos took a look at the 2020 U.S. election and discussed at what's behind Joe Biden's drop in the polls.

Also, Nik explained why the polling data doesn't always match the result that we see on election night – notably when Donald Trump won the 2016 U.S. election despite Hillary Clinton being expected to win handily.

  1. Does anyone even believe polls after the 2016 election?
    Pollsters are on the same tear as fortune tellers and witch doctors

    1. @Eldridge Derring That’s opinion, I don’t care about opinion, I care about the real number, the real number is Hillary won the popular vote.

    2. @KVZ I’m so sorry for you that we’re a republic & _not_ a democracy. Personally tho, I’m thankful, bc the electoral college system protects our country by representing rural interests, which are crucial for keeping our economy going. You know… voters who build cars, farm, etc. Yes, I’m aware that Hillary won the popular vote. Everyone who voted for her wants the welfare state expanded to the point that the govt controls how much we make, what we’re allowed to say & how we should all live. Hillary voters are spineless, rudderless simps.

  2. When you are so desperate for votes you deny “facts” of your choosing. These news sources are so desperate.

    1. The only margin error could be that Trump is going to win on a landslide taking both popular and electoral college and is not Showing..

  3. Does anyone find it ironically disturbing that Facebook now plans to give employees paid time off to staff 2020 voting stations. Consider Facebook’s recent privacy violations: Federal Trade Commission fined Facebook a record-setting $5 billion on Friday for privacy violations, according to multiple reports. The penalty comes after an investigation that lasted over a year, and marks the largest in the agency’s history by an order of magnitude.
