Prediction

The prediction is something that varies person to person with varied results and conflicts. There is a lot of prediction related to the US 2020 elections such that astrological predictions, AI predictions, Simpsons predictions, vedic predictions and many more. In the US election system, each state has a number of votes, based on its population. Thus, it is the state-level results that count and people reliably vote the same each time. Hence, US presidential election is an indirect election. Two well known American sources Real Clear Politics, and the Cook Politics reports the list of states that are expected to vote on election night. Several states were classified as toss up's which shows that those could be won by either side. Most of the states are already marked based on their voting decision. The roughly speculated count vote of 188 to Mr. Trump and 233 to Biden. There are total 538 electoral college votes and it's possible that each comes out with 269 which makes a tie. In that case the house of representatives will vote for the next President and the US senate will vote for the next vice president. According to the Economist Survey, Biden may get 54% votes while Trump may get 46% votes. Also, after the debate, the possibility of votes for Biden to get declined is less than 5%. The surveys for prediction has been done through several reports, and Biden is ahead of Trump according to the majority of surveys done till now. Trump said, a Biden presidency would lead to lawlessness, seeking to tie the former vice president to civil unrest stoked by police shootings of Black Americans. While Biden accused Trump of fueling violence with his oratory. At this point of time, it is impossible to certainly predict who is going to win the election and become the 46th president of U.S. But Trump has massive advantage over the opposing party. Trump is an incumbent : Owing to earlier generations, there is a strong tendency of Americans to choose the incumbent over the challenger. They will only chose the challenger over the incumbent if the current incumbent is really a disasterous one. The economy of the country hasn’t crashed : The pandemic has affected whole world’s economy very badly. But if the situation of U.S. is analysed before pandemic, the economy was doing quite well during his time. Trump is a bold and valiant leader : He has taken many bold decisions over his term. He ordered the operation that klled Islamic State leader Au Bakr at – Baghdadi. It was a very high risk mission. If the things would have gone terrible, he would have been blamed. He has also forced Mexico to crack down on illegal immigration by his tariff threats. He has also raised his voice against China for deliberately spreading coronavirus through out the world. Trump is a Republican : The way U.S. political system works, Republicans get massive advantage over the democrats in the electoral college. In the country, Democrats tend to live in cities while Republicans tend to live in rural areas and the electoral college tends to give greater power to predominately rural states with low population. Trump has Fox News to back him up : Fox News can twist and mold any piece of information to make Trump look good. No matter what Trump says or does, it manipulates the information in such a way that the news will only add favourably to Trump’s image. As most of the conservatives get news from Fox channel only, they think well for him. But Trump's oratory regarding various issues has shattered his image and disappointed many of his country men. On the other hand Biden is also a very strong competitor. He will do anything and everything to triumph the election. As table can turn anytime, there is an equal chance for both of them to win the election. Citizens of America are wise enough to choose best leader for them.
