I'm with Denmark. Harris wins 96% to Trump 4%.

That's about right.

instead of poisoned by Rush, Fox "News", and all that reich-wing hate, that would be the general election results.

Something to do with the way the colors rendered on TVs at the time.

I understand Russia but don’t get why the Balkans likes him. The UK numbers disappoint me too. Looks like if Trump somehow wins, I’ll have to move to Denmark! (Not really, I wouldn’t qualify nor do I have the funds).

TSF would only win the bottom seven--all of which were formerly part of the USSR where propaganda/brainwashing was and in some cases continues to be their way of life.

And his wife. He was fairly drunk and didn't hold back one bit in lambasting Trump, I forget and really regret the whole quote when he called him a walker, but it was fin hillarious.

There's a link to a spreadsheet on how the collated the results from various pollsters at the bottom of the article.

There's also an explanation of their colour choice - it's sort-of using their European conventions:

The Democratic Party—with Kamala Harris as their candidate—is a member of the Progressive Alliance together with the centre-left Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D). Their youth wing is also a member of the International Federation of Liberal Youth together with the youth wing of liberal European political party ALDE (RE). As such, we are colouring her the combination of S&D red and RE yellow we use in our coverage.

The Republican Party—with Donald Trump as their candidate–is an official global partner of the national-conservative European Conservatives and Reformists Party (ECR). We are colouring him as the ECR colour of dark blue that we use in our coverage.
