There are a lot of people who decline to state their preference due to public perception of their preferred candidate. Clinton supporters won't be vocal about it because they don't want to listen to the litany of "Clinton is corrupt" they'd be subjected to, and Trump supporters don't want to answer why they can support a degenerate ignoramus like that.

They first did in in Ohio where they had 2 Trump supporters and 2 CLinton supporters and have repeatedly interviewed the same dumbasses. It is nothing but standard talking points.

Yesterday they started the same 2+2 thing in Florida. Never mind the fact that the polls say this is not a 50/50 proposition. That 2+2 formula gives a fraudulent impression that the races are even.

I don't contribute to NPR anymore, What a waste of resources to do reporting like this.

with 5 or so 'evangelical' women; had been undecideds, discussed effect of their 'beliefs,' leaving them 'confused,' and one decided for trump. Amazed me, but appeared genuinely conflicted. This prior to 3rd 'debate.'

Nothing surprises me. I was the only liberal in the sports betting community, or at least the only one who would make it known. Everybody else was an ultimate SAM (Simplistic Angry Male) who ranted about taxes and government. They hated me because I could counter every simpleton argument and essentially laugh at them when they ran out of material within three sentences.

On election night 1992 I realized how scary it was. Those guys were in denial that Bill Clinton would win, throughout the process. They assumed Republicans owned an electoral lock. That night once the result was obvious I had two rightwing friends say they were going to the local gun store first thing in the morning to stock up. The next afternoon they were bragging about all the weapons and ammunition they bought, preparing to counter a government takeover.

It's even worse in the rural areas, which is 90% of the state.

Nevada's going blue. I promise, as much as I can promise. I'm witness to OFA & HFA campaigns. There's at least as much fire in our bellies and in those we're getting to the polls. And we carried Nevada twice for OFA.

No quit yet again from anyone.
