    Is that in state polls or national polls? National polls mean dick all when it comes to the electoral college. Republicans have won the popular vote once i think since the start of the 2000s. Hell maybe even back to when Bush Sr was elected. The president is going to be decided by like 100k people across 7 or so states. 100k may be generous though.

      That reference is a US poll.

      W got 48% of the popular vote in 2008. That’s the highest a Republican has gotten.
