EVERYONE IS AT HOME! Im hearing from Republicans that the Trump campaign is currently around 40% contact rate when they knock doors. Democrats are mostly avoiding this campaign tactic due to COVID-19.

Here in FL, the Democrats are doing great with phone canvassing.

(34,857 posts)I'm okay with Biden not sending people out to knock on doors during a pandemic. I really don't like when people come to my door, especially if they're not wearing a mask.

(53,801 posts)Let the repugs go door-to-door and spread the virus amongst themselves. If you've ever canvassed you're given a list of addresses of members of your own party to re-enforce your party's message and to remind them when and where to vote.
Biden's lead in the polls shows the Dem campaign is working. And IMO it's smart to let trump hold news conferences and mini-rallies where he continually makes a fool of himself with his bluster and lies.

(25,464 posts)I'm not knocking, but we had an election on July 14th. I'm leaving "creative literature"......
I will be doing it as precinct chair in a few weeks.
One thing about president: Door to door canvassing is probably not as effective as TV commercials or the nightly news etc.
Door to door is good to get input, but voters have made their mind up about president.
I never convinced one person to vote for Beto in 2018. He was top of the ticket and I wore his shirt. Either I got a "welcome" or "slam in the face". It was black and white. I did it mostly to determine if voters were Democrats and also if they were going to vote for other candidates.
I hate phone banking. No one answers and the numbers are all wrong.
