Republican President Donald Trump is being challenged by Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden, who is best known as Barack Obama's vice-president but has been in US politics since the 1970s. And as the elections 2020 are just around the corner, people have started predicting the next president. Polling companies are trying to gauge the mood of the nation by asking voters which candidate they prefer. And now it has been recently learned that an Indian astrologer named Dr Shankar Charan Tripathi has stated that Trump has favourable planets in his horoscope (Kundali) and he would be serving America for the next four years.

This astrologer had earlier predicted Hillary Clinton's win in the 2016 US elections. He had made an entry in his notebook that she would create history by becoming the US President. The year was 1998.

Shankar Charan Tripathi had just heard then US President Bill Clinton tender his first public apology to Monica Lewinsky on television. The entry in his notebook read:

"Hillary Clinton shall become king or king-like when the husband is on the verge of retirement. She shall create the histories in the American Constitution or in American countries or in American people as President of America (sic)."

Taking to Twitter, BJP spokesperson Avadhut Wagh shared the horoscope of Trump and wrote that it indicates that Trump will come back again as US president.

And this time, Predicting Donald Trump's win in the 2020 US presidential elections, Dr. Shankar Charan Tripathi in his horoscope (Kundali) wrote, "Rahu gives him an upper hand to repeat 2nd time as President of America because he has exalted Jupiter to combine with Sun."

Further predicting about Joe Biden, he wrote, "He has debilitated Mars in his Fortune/destiny house which give him victory in 03 places but less votings in 4 states of America. This means Biden gives Neck to Neck fight but 4 lakhs votes just gets wasted to or hacked through any other foreign company. That attracts the defeats in the hands of Trump."

Giving a comparative analysis to the readers between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Shankar Charan stated, "Donald Trump shall retain the office of President of America IInd time. He wins by 4 LAKHS votes minimum and 09 lakh maximum but Trump shall be blamed for managing and hacking the votes."

Talking about the National polls for this election, it's easy to dismiss the polls by saying they got it wrong in 2016 and President Trump frequently does exactly that. But it's not entirely true. Most national polls did have Hillary Clinton ahead by a few percentage points, but that doesn't mean they were wrong, since she won three million more votes than her rival.

Pollsters did have some problems in 2016 - notably a failure to properly represent voters without a college degree - meaning Mr. Trump's advantage in some key battleground states wasn't spotted until late in the race, if at all. Most polling companies have corrected this now.

But this year there's even more uncertainty than normal due to the coronavirus pandemic and the effect it's having on both the economy and how people will vote in November, so all polls should be read with some scepticism, especially this far out from election day.

For those of you who are not aware, astrologer Shankar Charan Tripathi is the former spokesperson of RJD. He was expelled from the party for his remarks against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in 2018.

Tripathi was known for the astronomical advices he gave to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav.
