Not a pollDoes it matter that Trump took a 10 million dollar bribe from Egypt?
In a new poll released Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has taken an enormous lead on former president Donald Trump among independent voters.
Harris is up nine points with that group (53%-44%) after being down 14 points with them when she launched her campaign just two weeks ago.
Marist and Sienna College are the gold standards of political polling.In new Marist poll, Harris makes astronomical move on Trump

I was curious this morning to see what was going on in New Mexico, as some folks claimed it was a "battleground" state. The article you quoted doesn't even list New Mexico, and 538.com shows not a single presidential poll in the state since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee.Using current polling numbers, Harris leads in four of the seven most competitive swing states, while Trump leads in three. According to the Electoral College polling map produced by RaceToTheWhiteHouse, if the election were exactly matched current polling in each state, Harris would win the Electoral College with 276 votes to Trump's 262.

The point of the thread is to provide polls, not to analyze them.All we can say right now is that the polls are close, making the election hard to predict. A lot can happen between now and then that can turn things one way or another.
OK. I just think it's of limited value. It's like fussing over whether the temperature today is 84 degrees or 86 degrees when what we care about is what it's going to be in November. We know the polls are close; the rest is noise.The point of the thread is to provide polls, not to analyze them.
Trends are important in polling
I am fine with debate on polling.OK. I just think it's of limited value. It's like fussing over whether the temperature today is 84 degrees or 86 degrees when what we care about is what it's going to be in November. We know the polls are close; the rest is noise.
If by Sept. 1 Trump has a lead in most polls, that would be significant. Given the nature of the Electoral College, the odds would be against Harris winning. If Harris has a lead of several percent, particularly in the battle ground states that matter, that would be significant. But if it's closer than that then I think the difference is mostly noise.
Sounds like you would like to offer up a different poll.Pages and pages of worthless Biden polls. lmao
