There is always an incredible amount of fear-mongering and general negativity in the US media. This is especially so for politics.
Here is my unsolicited advice:
- Ignore the media including polls.
- If you are capable, then please do some canvasing.
- Vote and encourage those around you to vote.
Have to say that was a damn refreshing change from the vacant look and feel in the debate. May be far from perfect but I take that over the raving lunatic with an R by them any day.
