AI is summarizing actual polling results. Have you never used it?

JFC.

How does it feel to be a profound idiot? Yesterday, stonedax didn't understand how AI works, today you don't understand "margin of error." Go figure.

I didn't respond yesterday as I thought you weren't following the thread. Today I don't know what your issue is. My point in the thread is that RDS was probably underwater HOWEVER THERE WERE NO RECENT POLLS on him. There were a handful from December 2025 to the most recent in April 2026.
As there are no recent polls, AI can't analyze what doesn't exist. Maybe I am just stupid and you can explain how AI can analyze poll results that do not exist. If it is extrapolating based on polls 4-8 months old, that is meaningless. RCP already gives his average approval based on those old polls at 50%, That ended in April.
If there were recent polls we, at least I, wouldn't need AI to analyze them as I can read them to see what the Favorabilty number was as compared to the Unfavorability number.

I think this is mostly reasonable. I get lost when they over poll their side or don't focus on likely voters. Recent presidential cycles seem to error to the left. A disturbing trend to some of us.

I think Dems have been very slightly undervalued in the last two midterms, especially 2022. Likely a function of Trump era coalitions.

The reverse seemed to happen under Obama.

2026 - 48k+ fires
10 year average - 37k fires

2026 - 6.5 million acres burned
10 year average - 4.2 million acres burned

You sure are bringing a lot of attention to this well above average burning year.
Perhaps wikipedia isn’t the best place for you to find information. Satellites don’t lie. As for number of fires, perhaps you could look for arsonists as an answer. It’s not like France and Spain didn’t round up 420+ arsonists for the France/Spain fire just for the f##k of it. Are you also getting suckered into believing the earth is warming more quickly than at any other time in the billions of years it has existed?

What Wikipedia?

Up to 7.2 million acres, about 3 million above average.

As for your final question, no. But it’s a dumb question that shows you have no ability to think independently. You assume all of our impact should be felt equally, all across the world. You don’t understand that our impact might be felt differently in places with dense human populations, compared to places like Antarctica. You are obsessed with global temperatures while I think about things like access to clean water and food.

Looking at temps from billions of years ago, when the earth was unlivable for humans, is quite possibly the dumbest thing people do.

"To stop mass shootings, we have got to elect Democrats that will actually do something about it," Beshear said.

Like let millions upon millions into our country unvetted? Like implement no cash bail and soft on crime administrations? Elect a Dem and they all vote together - look at what they voted for while Biden "was" president. NYC, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, say hi.

The hyenabot has a real issue here. Laugh at the do-nothing Massiehole getting owned by a 24 year old or laugh at a post about the Massiehole not delivering what he promised on a topic the mental midget wasted a ton of energy on.


You are dumb enough to believe Thomas Massie is the problem.

How dumb are these people who think a DOJ acts independently of the WH? In some cases like this one, I suspect it’s just dishonesty/lack of integrity. This particular empty hat lived during the Obama admin. She doesn’t remember Barry’s wingman? Was the media asking for an “independent” DOJ then? Did this Welker complain about Garland’s independence or lack thereof?

Just like the leftist blogger/mamdani voter who got doxxed finally figured out he was a moron for voting for him, these wealthy politicians pushing this crap are too arrogant to understand they will be eaten eventually. They all think they will be large and in charge. That isn’t the way communism works.

What are you talking about? Multiple people were charged with crimes for "damaging the reflecting pool." The charges were dropped because they were, as everyone with a working brain knew, based on Trump's feelings and not reality. That's Kim Jong Un type ****, tho Un's bunch is competent enough to end the story with the person charged with a crime thrown into the gulag, here it will ultimately end with the guy wrongfully arrested and charged getting a settlement from my taxes, awesome.
Learn the difference between investigated, arrested, indited AND PROSECUTED !

You could go far !

If polling is 2% off the margin, it's doing pretty well. No one thinks about that when the winner wins by 10% instead of 8%. But when it goes from one guy up 1% to the other guy winning by 1% ... people blame polling.
OR

ONE candidate gets more votes than any other candidate in HISTORY and loses to a guy in his basement who is assigned 81,000,000 million !

Sufficient funds to hire Law Enforcement Officers, Prosecutors, jails and enforcing laws on the books will go a long was to reducing crime.

Then having elected officials of any political party stand BACK and allow the process work, voila safe streets.

Her HC didn’t even bother complaining to the ref about the bad call.


It is BEYOND belief that CC is not facing, almost alone, the league known as the WNBA. It's players, it's refs and the league's ownership and executives.

I predict she starts another league.

The great cell phone generation that only knows how to raise their phones to record something "happening" knows barely anything else !

Like communism has starved many more millions than it has shot behind the ear in the basement.

Donald Trump Proudly Showed Off A Glowing Headline. There Was Just 1 Awkward Catch.​



The president should have read a little further down.

Donald Trump and the White House’s weekend boasts to reporters about lowering prescription medication prices somewhat backfired.
The president, just before boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, held up a printout of The Washington Post article headlined “Prescription drug prices record sharpest drop in more than 60 years.”“And I told you that was going to happen,” Trump bragged before hyping other positive headlines about himself.
As The Guardian pointed out, The Post’s article stated that although “the White House took credit for the good news,” it also actually noted further down in the story how “some experts said a Biden-era policy that requires Medicare to negotiate prices for some popular prescription drugs is more likely to be driving down costs,” and went on to cite those experts.

So Medicare, with enormous purchasing power - particularly for "popular drugs", had to be told by the Biden admin to negotiate prices? And your source is the anti-Trump foreign Guardian?

I guess you don't follow the actual news much. It was unlawful for Medicare to negotiate to lower prices until that was changed during the Biden Admin. and the Democratic Congress. Big Pharma owned Congress prior. Stay in the bubble.

I love it in the bubble. Apparently in 2003 the bill authorizing Part D of Medicare only allowed insurance companies to negotiate drug prices, not allow Medicare to negotiate on their behalf. So the Dem law change has affected 10 drugs so far. That's right, 10 drugs since the Dems passed the bill 3.5 years ago, which included major big brother penalties to the drug companies if they didn't accept the government's proposal.

The poster boy of the 10 drugs is Eliquis, which was supposed to go generic in 2022 (during Biden) but was extended to 2028. So good job on getting an expiring drug's price lowered (there are another 9). How much, no one knows because the prices negotiated by the insurance companies are confidential but I'm sure people will guess.

Trump has been trying to get lower prices for people not just on Medicare. His Trump RX is a cash price site to find the lowest prices across all opportunities for the non insured. He also has been using tariffs and most favored nation status to get lower prices for all, including Medicare, medicaid and cash paying citizens. One thing Trump has been consistent on is the US should not be paying more than countries like Canada or Europe.

He also hasn't been napping at 3PM everyday like his predecessor.

Did the Guardian mention any of this, no, because they are fund raising on being anti Trump.

LOL. So, Biden signed the affordable care act to negotiate in 2022, but that didn't work until the Trump term in 2026. Good call(y)

From the post below this one:

People didn’t reject this. Democrat leaders rejected this and it never was put up for a vote. GOP moderates helped them. Just like today. Not only would our benefits have doubled, our kids would have inherited the left overs.

Rinos gonna find a reason to Rino. Who cares if it hurts US citizens.
