  1. Its funny, on social media the leftist loons are all out with their knives warning everyone that this is a REPUBLICAN poll done by a Republican pollster.

    Uhhm, its a joint effort between a Republican pollster, Fabrizio, which is HIGHLY respected, and Impact Research, a DEM pollster.

    And its appropriate to call the AARP the AALRP, the American Association of Liberal Retired Persons.

    he has to carry AZ and I can’t imagine how Harris could be competitive or tied there given her open border policy that affects AZ so much

  11. Its not just that the polls are all over the place, Trump vs. Harris, but they are also very inconsistent when it comes to the comparison of the senate candidate’s gap compared to the POTUS race. Look at PA for instance, on recent polls.

    The number here is how many points McCormick trails Trump in the given poll:

    Susquehanna 1
    Quinnipiac 5
    Emerson 6
    Bullfinch 7
    Cook Political 8
    Franklin and Marshall 9
    North Star Opinion Research 10
    Fox News 11

    “Too bad McCormick won’t run that ad in my area”

    Not sure what the rationale is for this. Some ideas….

    1. Your market might be more expensive so fewer ads
    2. He might be waiting for a time he thinks they can be more effective
    3. He might want to make sure there are fewer ticket splitters so he is concentrating on the Trump areas.
    4. He wants to follow the 2016 Trump strategy of winning so big in the red areas where even Hillary’s 450k plurality in Philadelphia Co. couldn’t save her.

    Whatever the reason, I think he should advertise in your market. He has a more moderate image than Trump and could even maybe get some ticket splitters the other way, Trump haters voting for Kamala AND him.

  18. Not going to start a new thread with this one either. Its a junk self-selected online poll. The unweighted party ID is Dem 52, Rep 30, Ind 16. As Baris said, if that’s what you see in a 400 voter sample, throw it out. Its not recoverable and reweighting it won’t result in a quality poll. Even though the topline, Trump +8 looks somewhat okay, its a garbage poll.

    “VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father and uncle and I cannot reconcile it with my values. The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris‘s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala‘s is riddled with neocon warmongers. The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street. My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites. I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor. My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (“Republicans are weird.“) I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief. I have no plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President. I do have a plan to defeat her.”

    “The latest Silicon Valley mogul to hop aboard the Trump train is 8VC Managing Partner Jon Lonsdale, who sat down with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo to explain Trump’s appeal — and Harris’s liabilities.

    Investor and entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale reacted to Mark Cuban calling out Silicon Valley over its growing support of former President Trump, arguing that Kamala Harris’ policies will “break everything.”

    “What you’re seeing is you’ve gone from almost none of Silicon Valley supporting Trump in 2016, a little bit more in 2020, and now I’d say probably half of the leaders I know who are builders in business are realizing, wait a second, there’s this kind of crazy, dangerous, far-left radical stream in our society. It’s going to break everything,” the 8VC managing partner said during an appearance on “Mornings with Maria.” 

    “It’s going to stop us from being builders, and we need to support the side that’s going to let our civilization thrive,” Lonsdale added.”

    jason to clarify, this was the UNweighted result. In other words, that’s the raw party id of those who self-selected to click the link in the email and take the online survey. Then ActiVote re-weighted it to what they believe is normal. But that’s too big of an unweighted result, and cannot be fixed. They might have come up with a believable topline result, but other internals would be mashed potatoes.

Forget the lack of a MOE figure; if Trump is actually winning 21% of the Black vote (I don’t think it’s going to be that high, probably 14-18% tops, which is more than enough anyhow), the he wins. If he’s doing that while winning 60%+ among the 50 and older groups as well as whites overall and taking Hispanics by a point, it’s bordering on a landslide for him.

    Yet even with those numbers in hand, the article says Harris has a pathway to 270. The Limeys have no clue what’s going on over here, but they do seem obsessed with us.

I don’t blame Trump for being boastful when he’s doing much better with Black voters than any Republican in over a half century.
