Pollsters continue to churn out numbers that suggest Donald Trump is engineering an upset in all the swing states come November 5th- and yet, the national polls would indicate that Joe Biden has the slight edge. With next week’s Presidential debate fast approaching, what do the numbers mean as they relate to what voters expect to see on stage? According to Rob Astorino, host of The Rob Astorino Show heard Saturdays at 4 on WOR, not very much. In fact, as Astorino elaborated on 710 WOR’s Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning program, the numbers sound alarm bells because they just don’t seem to ring true.
“Forget these national polls; they mean zilch,” Astorino cautioned Berman and Riedel. “And by the way, in these polls, something is smelly, because they’re defying gravity, and I think people still are not admitting- I think maybe Democrats or others are not admitting- that they’re going to vote for Trump or not voting for Biden. How do you have the country in the wrong direction by two-thirds, is job approval is horrendous, the top three issues are all going for Trump, and yet in some of these national polls Biden is winning? And yet, in the swing-state polls, Trump is winning. Something doesn’t make sense, which is why I think it’s going to be a smack-down in November.”
Perhaps the only thing Astorino found more shocking than the polls was the results of the coin flip for next week’s Presidential debate. “I was shocked yesterday. Joe Biden wins the coin toss and decides to pick a podium instead of going last. Who the hell does that? I think it’s because Joe Biden has some scars from face lifts, and I think he’s got a favorite side, and with the lighting and everything, I think he wanted to cover that up [because] how do you give up going last- where you get the final word, where you can re-but everything- in exchange for ‘I want to go on the right side!’?”
