Reuters IPSOS poll released Tuesday found the only person who could beat Trump in November was Michelle Obama. Though the former first lady has repeatedly said she does not have presidential aspirations.

Yes it's high time the electorate were blamed. They've made a lot of stupid decisions over the last 15 years, then always blame politicians. You get what you vote for.

Exit poll gives Labour a landslide.

All the usual caveats apply about exit polls, but WOW!

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll, 2024
Quite an underwhelming Labour number compared to many of the forecasts and the Tories well above expectations.

Tories are forecast to lose 241 seats. That will be a disaster for them if it's right.

I don’t know what’s more delicious - the lovely large balloon glass of Hine Rare VSOP Cognac that I am currently imbibing, or sweet, sweet Tankie tears…

I’m not sure what’s Tankie tears about an observation of the polls in recent days had a larger gap.
Nobody would have found it funnier than me if the Tories had fell behind the Lib Dems. A party I’ve criticised and berated almost day in day out for years on this forum.

It absolutely is.
It’ll be interesting as the night evolves to get an indicator of whether the Reform projected vote moved back to the Tories or whether there’s a sense that the Labour vote perhaps was slightly complacent (entirely possible given polls for months have predicted a landslide) and turnout dips.
All nuanced points I’d expect a politics forum to have some interest in but no we just have Hugh dishing out insults to people who disagree with him over Ukraine and the chances of a Trump win (but not a desire for a Trump win).

You found a forecast majority of 176, with a forecast increase in seats of 205, "underwhelming"…
That’s what’s funny…
Polls are just polls, not certainty - criticising an overwhelmingly winning party because they didn’t do as well as people forecast they would is pretty amusing.
Anyway, in related matters…

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll, 2024
Underwhelming “compared to many of the forecasts”.
We all know that polls are just that - indeed even the exit poll is just that. Labour could still outperform the exit poll in the actual results.
I think it was a perfectly acceptable point to make that invited better than your insults. As did my first response and this will be my last.

Considering some poles, that we’re putting LibDems ahead. If the Tories keep 130 -140, I think they’ll take that.
