Updating Current Political Polls

Firstly Art-Of-Politics-Polling-Prediction-Bob Davis Podcast 935 is part of a series of podcasts updating current polls for 2020.

No Blanket Statements

Secondly I tend to avoid blanket statements when it comes to political polls.

Politics is An Art

Finally I believe despite all the technology we have politics is still an art.

No Silver Bullet For Predictions

Even more there is no application or spreadsheet that can ‘predict’ an outcome based on polls.

Probabilities

In short we can only look at probabilities.

Snapshots

Polls are snapshots in real time.

Shocking Confusion When It Comes To Polls

Meanwhile pundits and commentators continue to display a shocking confusion when it comes to understanding political polling.

Out and Out Bias

Most importantly some are ‘in the tank’ for one or the other candidate.

National Polls A Disservice To Supporters of Both Candidates

Consequently all of this political chatter and predictions does a disservice to supporters of all candidates.

Your Own Reality Check

On the other hand what if I can show you how to do your own reality check on your smart phone whenever you hear some wild prediction of a ‘landslide’ for either candidate.

That’s what Art-Of-Politics-Polling-Prediction-Bob Davis Podcast 935 is all about.

Still All About Showing Up

In conclusion if we have learned anything over the years, it is politics still belongs to those who show up.

State By State Battleground

Working hard down to the election is always the best approach. National polls are useless as the popular vote does not determine the presidency in the US.

Stay With The Bob Davis Podcasts

To sum up stay with me for a clear eyed view of the state by state polling results so that you’re not shocked and surprised on election night. Anything is possible, but right now it’s still a close race.

(Editor’s Note: As I recorded this podcast new polls were being released and results uploaded. As of the date of this post, the new polls have not changed my conclusion that 2020 will be close based on tight races in battleground states. I’ll do another podcast after the next spate of polls and we’ll see how things change. The good news is, if you listen to this podcast you’ll know how to update yourself when new polls come out.)

National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933

Delusion Or Delirium. Pick One.

Certainly it feels like we’re living in a national delusion or we’re delirious. Pick One. Learn more in National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933.

The Matrix?

Even more I might even forgive you for invoking The Matrix as a metaphor!

What Triggered This Podcast?

Firstly I don’t even remember the thought process that lead to this question.

Delusion and Delirium Defined

Secondly you can find the definitions for what Delusion is here, and for Delirium here.

A Confused and Disturbed Nation

Most importantly I think our country fits the bill for both right now.

Plenty Of Examples Worthy Of Your Attention

For example a pandemic triggered economic suicide worldwide, people climbing the walls in isolation, protests morphing into rioting and violence. In addition, ridiculous comments, outrageous explanations and mass confusion.

Our World Has Become Dali Work

Consequently I forgive the reader, listener and subscriber to bring up The Matrix. However I prefer Salvador Dali.

So, I’ll explain what I mean by a national delusion in National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933.

Causes Of Our Acutely Disturbed Collective Mind

Moreover I’ll provide several examples of the potential cause of our acutely disturbed state of mind.

Social Media, Covid Psychosis, Propaganda and Conspiracy Theories

For instance, the peculiar Algorithms of social media. Or the real possibility Covid19 infections are less symptomatic and producing dangerous psychological reactions. And finally rapidly proliferating propaganda and conspiracy theories everywhere you look.

Our Worries

And If these aren’t enough to tip the scales, add to that our collective worry about our financial futures.

Don’t Look Now…

In conclusion a question and reference to the potential for a major financial meltdown.

Long Hot Summer

In short our ability to handle another major shock in this country is dependent on the clarity of our thinking. If we’re all delusional or delirious we’re in for a long hot summer.

Midnight-Curfew-WalkandTalk-Bob Davis Podcast 931

Rules For WalkandTalk Podcast

Firstly, rules for the walk and talk podcast are no preparation and no plan. Just walking and talking. Time to take a break from the surreal world we live in. Join me on the walk in Midnight-Curfew-WalkandTalk-Bob Davis Podcast 931.

Throw The Plan Out

Secondly, I did have some things I thought I would talk about in this podcast. As soon as I got outside I threw all of that out.

Switch On Summer

Above all, we’re having a warm beginning of June here in the Upper Midwest. We don’t take that lightly.

Back In The Day

On the other hand it’s still hard for me to believe that 75 days ago we were living ‘normal’ lives.

What’s Next?

These days there’s a surreal quality to everything. Consequently we don’t have a sense of where things are headed. How any of this will play out is anyone’s guess.

No Predictions Here

Above all there is my firm commitment not to tell listeners and subscribers what to think or how we should proceed. Everyone is going to have to come to their own conclusions.

Living Through Difficult Times

Certainly I wonder how people felt during times of upheaval in history. Subsequently I am sure few of those people ‘knew’ where ‘things’ were going or how it would turn out.

Sure Hope Something Else Doesn’t Happen!

For example someone remarked to me in a networking session this week, “I sure hope something else doesn’t happen!”.

Likewise I am sure.

Midnight Walk In The Moonlight Cures Just About Anything

Finally my antidote for angst about the future and the crisis we’re all living through is a midnight walk in the moonlight. Even during a curfew it works wonders every time.

Walk…And Talk

In short, join me while I take a walk and talk about some new audio equipment, the surreal times we’re living through and more in Midnight-Curfew-WalkandTalk-Bob Davis Podcast 931.
