Okay, so, now I've been telling you a lot over the last week and a half about the poll numbers because, and I get a lot of letters from people. Why are you talking about the polls so much? Don't you know the polls are just wrong? Well, I mean, on the national level, the polls were not all that wrong in 2016. On the state level, they were wrong by a couple of points. They were not wrong by eight or ten points. Okay, right now, the bottom line is that President Trump is trailing. That does not mean that he has no chance. It does not mean the race is over. It does mean that if I'm going to convey the most up-to-date information, you have to take

into account the polling numbers, especially because polling companies generally have an interest

in being as accurate as possible, even if you don't like the source of the polling. But there is one

poll number today, one poll number today that suggests that Trump's chances are significantly

more robust than the polls are letting on. This is a key poll.

It is a poll from Gallup.

It is Americans' view on whether they are better or worse off than they were four years ago. Now, given Trump's poll numbers and the fact that he is trailing, you would expect that the vast majority of Americans, I mean, we're in the middle of a pandemic, an economic downturn. you would imagine the majority of Americans would say that they were worse off than they were four years ago.

If all you had done is listen to the poll numbers and the media over the past few months. But here is the actual statistic. As of September 2020, 56% of Americans say they are better off than they were four years ago. 56% of Americans.

Okay, that compares to 45% in December of 2012,

47% in October of 2004,

38% in October of 1992,

and 44% in July of 1984.

That is a very, very high number, 56%. If everybody who believes they were better off than they were four years ago voted for Trump, he would win going away. He would win a blowout victory,

which suggests a couple of things. One, maybe the polls are actually undersampling people who are

somewhat enthusiastic about Trump but are not actually going to talk about it. And two,

if Trump could get his personality out of the way, he would be winning this election

in a walk. If you are the incumbent president and nearly six in ten Americans believe that they

are better off now than they were when you were elected, that is a great number. I mean,
