If you’re a Trump supporter, this is probably as good of a poll as you’ve seen in a while.

+1 nationally isn’t great for any Democrat and she’s only +7 with women. Add to that that Biden was up by about 10 in national polling this time four years ago.

However, the caveat is swing state polling right now very much favors Harris and that’s the way to the WH.

2 week old data.

Allan

No, it isn’t - where are you seeing two weeks ?

The survey was conducted from Aug. 5 to Aug. 11, 2024

you are correct, i am wrong. thinking about another poll that a poster used.

Just saw Nate Silver interview on Fox. He said that today he would say polls indicate Harris would be a slight favorite. He also said that polls in 2016 and 2020 underestimated Trump.

And that’s a fair point. But after 2020, they haven’t. And Republicans in the most part have underperformed since then. So just something to consider. I honestly think that pollsters tried to overcompensate for that after 2016 and 2020 and have now tried to take into account some hidden MAGA group that may not exist.

better start an unskewed polls website.

things you should check so that you’re aware of them, thats all. if the poll was adjusted for the oversampling it would likely land somewhere between tester +1 and Sheehy +1.

so close. tester should be thrilled at this poll.

you moved it of the contested column in your latest.

perhaps its not over yet.

tester won by 3% in 2018. and 3% in 2012. has anything really changed since then.

Allan

yes. He voted with Biden
