Reuters-Ipsos poll of 1,005 U.S. adults says Biden leads Presidential race 51% compared to 41% For Trump – October 4, 2020,
So America has 328+ Million people, but for whatever reason Reuters-Ipsos poll can only find 1,005 U.S. adults to take their poll and as one would expect depending on who took the poll and the questions asked in the poll, the poll s going to come up with some odd and interesting statistics.
Firstly America has the Electoral College system, in which each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress, so I’m not even sure if the Reuters-Ipsos poll took the popular vote approach, because obviously in a popular vote voters are going to vote for the Federal Politician offering them the freest crap.
Furthermore States like California as an example as more people than the entire country of Canada. However when you read the headline what’s read is Biden widens lead after Trump diagnosis: poll which is deceptive mostly for Democrat voters who may assume that Biden is far ahead and may not bother voting.
Although I get the whole clickbait thing, but, what I don’t get is what these polls are attempting to accomplish. They should state clearly how many people participated because there are polls all over the net in which there are afar more American participants, I just find it odd that the best Reuters-Ipsos poll could find was 1,005 U.S. adults to participate.
If Joe Biden wins the election, a lot of energy will be zapped from America, Conservatives as an example will get on the defensive, the NRA will see funding increased, spending will become a very serious topic of discussion and more than likely the Stock market will crash. Because a Stock Market participant, I can tell you first hand if Biden is able to implement all of his plans, the Federal Reserve might be forced to raise interest rates.
Every time the markets believe that there’s a chance Biden could win the 2020 election, the markets react negatively. Even if Donald Trump is as bad for the economy as Biden, the markets don’t believe that to be the case and this is what a lot of voters in pursuit of wealth taxes and larger welfare State don’t seem to understand, America is broke and a bad economic leader will create a whole lot of unforeseen socio-economic problems that can’t be fixed by a central bank!
Interesting times ahead
