If Trump has a 2.7 lead in the popular vote, his electoral vote total would probably be north of 320.

Does this mean it is possible that Trump could win the popular vote?
The Democrats will cheat, so let’s not get complacent.
If Trump wins, then the Democrats will riot and pillage, aided and abetted by social media, the news media, and Academia.
If Trump loses, then Communist Harris will embark on a program of more open persecution of truly believing Christians like traditional Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, as well Protestant Evangelicals like Reformed, Southern Baptist, and Pentecostals.
A Trump victory will give us a 4-year respite. But because social media, the news media, and Academia are all controlled by left wing lunatics, the demon-possessed hordes from hell will return worse than before.
The only solution is prayer and fasting, conversion and repentance, righteousness and holiness on our part. Trump cannot ensure the ultimate defeat of the godless Democrats and thereby save this country; only Christ can win the victory inasmuch as our children have been indoctrinated in liberal, progressive, environmentalist, sexually perverted Democrat Party ideology from the public school system in whose care we have entrusted their education.
Yes, George H, it appears to mean just that. And other polls with similar records of accuracy are saying the same thing, while as predicted the propaganda polls (so called MSM) are now beginning to back away from grossly oversampling Dems and from using “registered” instead of “likely” voters, thus letting their numbers look as if it’s a dead heat. BTW, I wish the idea of a “national popular vote” would go away, since it is a total fiction that has no practical value, but that’s never going to happen.
Along the same lines, I’ve seen posts on Twitter, by a guy claiming to have sources inside the Long Island Dem party apparatus, quoting a local legislator as saying their internals have Trump up by 2 to 3 points in New York State. Think on the implications of that for a minute.
All that said, it still comes down to turnout. And minimizing the cheat.
Does this mean it is possible that Trump could win the popular vote?
Trump won in 2016 with Clinton winning the popular vote by 2.1%.
Trump lost the electoral college by 40,000 votes in 2020, with Biden winning the popular vote by 4.5%.
Trump winning the popular vote would mean an electoral college vote slaughter in his favor.
Four years ago, then Attorney General of Pennsylvania – Josh (Joke) Shapiro, who sued the Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for birth control for their employees, seore that Trump would not win Pennsylvania. Trump had a one million vote lead at one point but lost by 80,000 votes.
Some of that was the old Scranton Joe garbage. How much was due to Philadelphia cheating no one will ever know.
The political advertising in PA is getting predictably ugly. Old garbage is continually brought up. Trump called deceased veterans losers. Trump is going to cut Social Security. January 6. 100 Republicans oppose Trump…Scaramucci (what a joke). The Republicans and conservatives who voted for Trump twice but won’t do it again. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, and Trump is only for billionaires. You see, it is a sin to be a billionaire IF you are not a Democrat.
The Senate race is uglier. McCormick outsourcing jobs to China, his Connecticut mansion, his four private jets…while Casey voted to wreck the economy and let illegals pour in.
I don’t watch much TV, usually YouTube videos of lawn mowing, car repair and some Brutal Doom. Sometimes I wish I could be Doomguy.
Penguins Fan.
Thanks for not being a doomguy.
I have fallen into that pit and its not becoming of a faithful Catholic.
Penguins Fan, Hope that the situation with your older son has improved. Been there. Prayers.

“I wish the idea of a “national popular vote” would go away, since it is a total fiction that has no practical value, but that’s never going to happen”
A number of (mostly blue) states have attempted to form a National Popular Vote Compact stating that all participating states will award their electoral votes to the candidate that wins the national popular vote, regardless of the outcome in their own state. The compact does not or would not take effect until a sufficient number of states have approved it to total 270 electoral votes or more. The notion was, of course, pushed heavily by Democrats in response to elections such as 2000 and 2016 in which Republicans won by the electoral vote without winning the popular vote. They probably thought it would help prevent candidates like Trump from winning in the future, so I’m hoping Trump wins the popular vote decisively in order to disabuse them of that notion.
The “national popular vote” may not count under the Constitution but in today’s media driven society it counts a lot in terms of public opinion. Boosting Trump’s popular vote numbers is the main reason why I voted for him even though I live in the deep blue state of Illinois, which he doesn’t strictly “need” in order to win, and where Republican votes (as I like to say) have all the electoral vote impact of spitting into a Category 5 hurricane. (Though if Trump really is up by 2 or 3 points in a state like New York (granted, it’s his home state), I’d sure love to see how he’s doing in Illinois, but no one even bothers polling us.)
