    These polls are fun and all, but I don’t trust them, especially a over a year out. Things can change drastically.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the right pushing these poll reports to galvanize their own voters and make their opponents think they can relax.

      When it comes to power, I don’t think it’s ever safe to relax.

      I remember 2016. All polls are bullshit. Assume the worst and vote in anticipation of the worst case scenario.

        I had my absentee ballot sitting on the dining room table for about a month in 2016. I kept on procrastinating getting it in the mail and finally remembered the day before the election. I live in a swing state 😞

        I’m not sure if it was counted and take my share of responsibility for what happened next. I’m definitely not the only one who didn’t take it seriously because of all the polls. Never again.
