In this episode, we take a look at historical comparisons of poll numbers to fund raising. While Yergz reminds you that the only poll that counts is the one of Election Day.
Yergz suggests that you "follow the money." Not like in a fraud investigation, but the totality of the individual campaign contributions for each quarter. This is a challenge to the traditional amount of weight placed on polling. But due to some outside influence, Yergz suggests that a more organic or authentic view is from the hard earned money donated by individuals.
Next, Yergz goes back as far as 2008 and looks at "normal" presidential campaigns, but also looks at the anomaly known as Donald Trump, and MAGA.
Has voting for Presidents come back to the age of "lesser of two evils"? Currently, more people find all of the candidates less favorable, than favorable. But President Biden holds the slight edge...
Does that mean that he's disliked less, so we like him more?
Do you think that the financial advantage is a political advantage? Do you think that it is indicative of the American People?
