In light of the pipe-bomb in Seaside, NJ. The bombs in Chelsea, NY. The multiple stabbing in Minnesota. That the police arrested the New York bomber in the town next to where I live in New Jersey, I thought I would bring this back to political polling to take my mind off how close this was to all of us.
First, we know, historically, when the public wants to feel safe they tend to vote Republican. We also know that this race is tightening. I still wonder how but I think that a lot of it goes to questions of safety and who is to blame (Muslims, immigrants, Mexicans). I have my theories on why but my real question is, and we will find out in a few days, will the events of this past weekend give Trump yet another bump and close the gap. Five-thirty-eight has Clinton winning with 273 electoral votes. Yes, that’s three electoral votes away from a loss. A few weeks ago I thought Clinton would win in a landslide; now I am trying to see what state-level organizations I can donate money too.
So, do you believe that this will help Trump? If more terrorism happens between now and the election could we be rubbernecking a Trump Presidency as we speed toward election day?
