The same corrupt corporate media that opposed Donald Trump in 2016 and oppose him in 2020, opposed Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Are they wrong again?
In mid-October 1980, Ronald Reagan trailed Jimmy Carter by 6 points in national polls.

39% | 45% | 9% |
At this time in 2016, the Real Clear Politics average of polls showed Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 6.5 points – 48.1 to 41.6 percent.
In the final week of the 1980 campaign – the week we are in now in 2020, Carter’s lead grew and Reagan trailed Carter by 8 points in national polls right before their final debate – one full week before the election…
On election day in 1980, Ronald Reagan won election in a landslide – beating Jimmy Carter by 489 to 49 electoral votes (Trump needs 270 to win) and winning the popular vote by 10 percent.

The same corrupt corporate media that opposed Trump in 2016 and oppose him now in 2020, opposed Reagan in 1980, and the national polls could not capture the magnitude of Reagan’s movement.
The Real Clear Politics average of polls today shows Joe Biden leading Donald Trump by 7.3 points – 50.5 to 43.2 percent.
The 2020 election has one week to go – and the momentum is with Trump more than it was for Reagan in 1980. His supporters would walk across broken glass to vote for him, while Biden supporters can hardly be found.
Will the third time be charm? Soon we will know if history will repeat itself, once again.
