Polls are going more in favour of Harris now. Trump’s been to Trumpy the last 2 days. The US silent woman may just give Harris the win.

Maybe the polling contributed to it, but I think the evening out of those odds is more a result of the market correcting itself.
Savy punters will put their political leanings aside to take advantage of inflated odds.
Trump was never going to be a short priced favourite imo.

best thing about john noel william "kicked in the head by a horse" newman, is there's a great venue across from kardinia park that's incubated an amazing scene. If samuel L dickhead was a good feller, he'd have bought and brought back to life the National. Coles and Woolies (musically) of Geetroit, the barwon club/nashy dualism.

(see why @JF does this now ^ the winky face,

as opposed to people who intend to be arse-holey, and make people have bad days..
cos it makes them feel good, and online, has less ramifications that kicking the family dog)

The pressure on George dubbya to endorse Harris is interesting.
His warmongering past is pretty much unforgivable, but a little bit of a concession to endorse Harris would at least show there is some form of a beating heart behind those cold dark beady eyes.

I think polls are only meaningful when many polls are viewed over a long period then you can see clear trends, at this stage especially this close they are kind of pointless unless maybe exit polls.

The next few days are also going to be full of claims by either side and media of who is winning or looking best etc even based on vote counts but even that is misleading because votes are counted and cast in different ways, Dems are more likely to vote early, Republican's like to vote on voting day, urban votes often get counted first that favour Dems, regional votes that favour Republicans often latter, but then postal votes come in much latter that generally favour Dems.

My predication one of two things will happen.

If Trump loses people will go out on the streets having a hissy fit and the media will call it riots.

If Harris loses people will hit the streets having a hissy fit, and the media will call it a peaceful protest.

I'm starting to think the same burleigh so I wouldn't be surprised if he does win but I'm with AndyM, not sure someone like him would be of any benefit to Oz. What would you like someone like that to do here?

The way government runs is mostly of a benefit, I don't doubt that it could be better, but Trump and your 'candidate' here would only tear all that down and replace it with what? lackeys driven by ideology?

The major foreign companies already pay fuck all tax

We don't need a wall, so what's left?

There is an Election Poll % Bias towards Republicans.
eg : 2000-2020 (Most recent 6 electorates = Closest Contests)
Democrats Avg (+2.5%) = 49.9% Vote = 292 Seats
Republicans Avg (-2.5%) = 47.4% Vote = 245.6 Seats
[Factcheck]
Dems lost 2 / 2000's elections with higher Vote%
2000 Dem 48.4% lost to Rep 47.9% Bush jr
2016 Dem 48.2% lost to Rep 46.1% Trump

Dems never win 2000's Elections polling less than Dem Avg (eg: min win 51.3%) = Prez
Rep win 2000's Elections polling less than Rep Avg (eg: min win 46.1%)= Prez

Now put that Poll % to the acid test...
Dems cannot win 2024 Election with less than Avg 49.9% Vote
If Dems Vote slips under Average by -1.5% > (48.5% = 269 seats) they instantly lose.
(US eg: 2012 Dem/Black Man > 2016 Dem White/Woman (Dem Vote slipped -2.9%)
US Men love Bros'n'Guns more than Women...Black Men flee Kamala with her woke Aussie Toy Gun.
Sure...Ok! Not on Election Day...she has her Minders with hands on their pieces...Gulp! Vote 4 me!

Whereas Trump has won before by polling a lesser 46.1% as least popular Prez! (Art of the Deal!)
Trump would be as happy as a pig in shit polling equal lowest most hated Prez ever.
He just needs to drum up 46.1% US Fear+Hate in a land where 44% of homes are armed with Guns...
Pretty much just gotta scare 2.1% unarmed citizens....Just say China once! There ya go...Rep wins again!
Dems need to remove Guns from Households to counter the 44% Locked in Head of household Rep fear factor.
Lil woman must obey their Patriotic Dutiful directions on their Rep @ Gun Cabinet

Unless some fearful lil woman patriot is brave enough to hand in their Household gun (A Miracle!)
Trump will be mandated & mud pied as next 2024 Prez.
Day 1 Dictator Trump : "God bless America for voting in their least popular choice Prez (Again)!"
Don't all rush to overcrowd my bigger than everything in the galaxy...Did I tell ya how big my #%@!

Maybe if Malcolm Roberts had a more luxurious bouffant hairstyle, like a Trump for the new generation.
