Is America really your closest ally? What a f**kin circus. |  |

A very depressing circus. That it’s even close is baffling beyond all reason. Would hate to jinx it but from reading a lot of political junkies and poll watchers, indications are Harris should win. |  |

Not according to the poll averages over at the excellent

It's all Trump there, more comfortably than in the previous two elections too.
Edit - it's all very narrow margins, but Biden last time and Clinton before him, had bigger leads in the polls at this point. [Post edited 28 Oct 2024 16:53]

Meh, will life get better for the average American, regardless of who wins? Will either of them have the balls to call out Israel? | |

Well that didn't take long for you to make the thread about Israel did it? |  |

Trump tried to overthrow the election result 4 years ago.....first by attempting to manipulate the process and then by violence on Jan 4th
And now.....for some unfathomable reason, he gets to have another go
Surely the "system" should have the guts and wherewithall to disbar him from attempting to hold public office ever again
It is madness |  | | |

That is a right-leaning site and it's alleged elsewhere there have been deliberate attempts to flood the polling space with biased right-leaning polls.
But agree, generally, the word is it's going to be close, however, wouldn't entirely surprise me if Harris wins more comfortably than predicted. Early voting in swing states seems in her favour, turnout appears to be high, which again ought to favour her, and if the polls are like 2022, then the Dem vote was under-represented. |  | | |

BBC Radio 4 last week made for interesting listening.
They were talking to Arab and Muslim *DEM* activists (not just voters, activists on the left of the party) who feel so betrayed by Biden/Harris over Israel that they are prepared to vote Trump in protest.
Even when reminded about Trump's rhetoric on migrants and the 'Muslim ban' last time, they didn't care. "We survived four years of Trump fine last time. But the current admin is supporting the bombing of our families in Palestine. We need to punish them." was the general tone. | |

I always considered it pretty balanced. Was first pointed to it by recommendation of a politics and government lecturer at university who was definitely not right leaning himself.
But it may have drifted since then. | |

a lot of things have drifted in the last 8 years, so wouldn't be surprised in the slightest... | |

Its Wikipedia page says pretty much exactly that: "In 2008, the site's founders said their goal was to give readers "ideological diversity", although in recent years it has become more associated with conservatism and the political right."

That was back in 2009, early days of Obama's stint. Back then the nuttier end of the right was the Tea Party and the 'birthers' which I suppose was MAGA in embryo.
Where did all the years go? | |

More veered than drifted. Just look at its home page and the sources they are linking to. They’re not even pretending to be balanced | |

Betfair Exchange has Trump victory 1.62 to Harris 2.66 (roughly 5/8 to 13/8) and there's £108 million traded on the market... | | | |

Trump clear favs with us and the betfair political podcast I listen to seem to be suggesting all the late money has been for him with the move from 1.98 to 1.64 a huge gamble |  |

Extremely depressing but pump your money on Trump.
Many media outlets are not prepared to back Harris as their preferred candidate in fear of Trump reprisals if he wins. Therefore - It's all about Trump
Much rubbish has been spouted on here about "Are we fascist yet", complete brain dead stuff.
..........This though, well, it's not great is it? |  |

Wikipedia itself is very left-leaning. It can be a good source for scientific things like chemical formulas, but for any field where there is room for opinion, it will be biased. | | | |

Could it possibly be that Harris is not a good candidate and it feels like she has just been appointed as the candidate rather than earned it, and been part of an unpopular administration in which she was lying to keep Biden in power even though he did not have the mental capacity?
It is an absolute disaster to have no-one actual know who is in charge. | | | |

Perhaps, but in that instance I think it's summarising a wider view rather than giving an editorial view as such. | | | |

I had £500 at 1.82 about 2 weeks ago.
And have also played more recently at 7/4 for the election winner to lose the popular vote. Frankly that’s ridiculous as trump is odds on everywhere and the republicans have only won the popular vote once since 1980. Market discrepancy | |

I've put down some good money on a Harris win. Think she'll just about edge swing states.
One thing that is certain is, it's going to be extremely tight. Sure I read somewhere that it may come down to a few thousand votes in the end?! [Post edited 28 Oct 2024 19:29]

Financial markets have priced in a trump win over the last few weeks, will be interesting if Harris wins. |  | | |
