    Whatever happens increasing polarisation of views will not lead to good things

    Current polling average (538.com) for Trump, 46.8% vs 48% for Harris, current average for Americans with favourable opinion of Trump (and this is closest to highest this year) = 43.6% (unfavourable 52.2%). To be fair, there may be Youtube videos giving different numbers, or voices in your head.

    I don't get the myth about Trump being an astute business leader. Six of his businesses have filled for bankruptcy. He inherited millions and lost most of it.

    I wouldn't choose Harris to run a multi-million dollar business either but I don't think she be as bad or as corrupt as Trump at running the US.

    However, for me I care more about the fact that Trump will try and shaft every other country in the world, America first, including the UK, the EU and his NATO allies, while sucking up to Putin, Xi because he wants to be like them.

    For me its not a left/right thing. I voted for Boris for ****s sake and would do again. I just think Trump is a dangerous imbecilic who will **** up the world.

    TBF there are polls showing wins for both sides, it just depends on which person you side with as to which one you take notice to

    Jesus, this is hard work. That's why I'm quoting the average, I actually think Harris will win by more than that.

    Harris thinks the US shares an alliance with North Korea - if you want a President who's thick and giggles a lot then Harris is for you

    Not sure a man who wants to shag his own daughter is a good presidential candidate

    Power lies in the Senate...If you have power in the Senate you can override the House of Representatives, and the President can be a lame duck, which often happens in the Mid-term US elections. When a crap president loses power in both chambers he/she/it can do £uck all for the next two years. Maybe accept take the country to war.

    It's possible, but I'm not saying that because I think that might be a triumph of wishing over thinking. However I wouldn't be shocked if she wins by a wide margin.

    I stuck 30 quid on Harris a few days a go as well. Insanely good odds.

    Updating my previous post about the poor choice of candidate, the questionable voting system that will certainly lead to problems after the votes are eventually counted (that's another thing) it looks like they have set up the whole thing to make it confusing, unclear and questionable. They are already talking about the queues of voters waiting in line hours to vote and the some polling stations in some areas may reach closing time before everyone in line has voted.
    World number 1 land of democracy leader of the free world, you're having laugh I've seen better run elections in eastern Europe.
