  1. Here again is my PA analysis with Suffolk now included:

    Here is another way to look at PA. Look at the polls now compared to 2020, per pollster.

    Trump “lost” by 80,555 votes in PA. A gap of 1.33 points.

    2020 | 2024

    Trump/Biden | Trump/Harris

    49/47 | 48/47 -1 – Wick

    49/47 | 50/48 =0 – Insider Advantage
    48/46 | 47/45 =0 – Trafalgar
    44/50 | 43/46 +3 – Franklin and Marshall
    45/50 | 43/45 +3 – Fox News
    42/49 | 46/49 +3 – Suffolk
    44/51 | 47/50 +4 – Quinnipiac
    47/50 | 47/46 +4 – Rasmussen
    43/49 | 44/46 +4 – Siena/NY Times
    45/50 | 47/47 +5 – CNN/SSRS
    47/52 | 49/49 +5 – Emerson
    43/52 | 46/49 +6 – Morning Consult
    42/49 | 45/45 +7 – Redfield and Wilton
    45/52 | 48/47 +8 – PPP
    44/52 | 50/50 +8 – CBS/YouGov

    I find it interesting that the first three are among the most accurate pollsters who work hard to get it right. So I would conclude that each of them being off in favor of Trump by 3 points in 2020 prompted them to make adjustments in the sampling to get more accurate.

    They are currently saying the same that they did in 2020, that Trump has a 1 to 2 point lead. But notice the further down the list you go, the less accurate the pollster. And there is an increasing shift in the polling away from Biden’s gap in 2020 toward Trump in 2024.

    Now some of this might be simply them trying to correct to get it right this time as well, but its more likely that they have picked up movement from 2020, toward Trump, and the top three might have over-corrected a little bit.

    The needle doesn’t have to move that much in PA to flip the state red. And with it, goes the election.

  20. Here is your evidence that Morning Consult put both thumbs on the scale. Despite being out of the limelight and largely forgotten about, suddenly Biden’s personal favorability jumped to only-4, and his job approval to only -7.

    Going forward this is an important metric to watch. Its a rare situation to have a lame duck with no real capacity to change the encased in cement opinions about his favorability and job approval. So if it suddenly surges, toss out the entire poll.

If this is the case, would be the Mother of all Mossad operations and it will make the terrorists afraid to use pagers or answer phones.

    Quinnipiac – Trump +4 in Georgia

    CNN – Trump +5 in Arizona

    CNN, CBS, and Redfield & Wilton all say a tie in Pennsylvania

    Redfield & Wilton – Trump up one in NV, and Morning Consult a tie.

    In Michigan, two of the three local Michigan only pollsters, Glengariff, Mitchell, and EPIC/MRA show a Trump lead of 1, the other shows a tie.

    Then nationally, NY Times/Siena with Trump +2, AtlasIntel, Trump +3.

    So yeah, they will focus only on the ones they want, but there are reasons why even the CNN data analyst guy has been sounding alarms about Harris’ chances.

    Back in both 2016 and 2020, NONE of the above existed among the leftist pollsters. They were all predicting Hillary and Biden landslides.

    Once again, the pollsters who ended up too favorable for Trump in 2020 seemingly have corrected their weightings so as to not make the same mistake. And once again, the least accurate pollsters out there are either seeing movement toward Trump or they are working to correct their error. My inclination is that its the former…movement toward Trump. They just don’t have it in them to try being accurate when they have been leftist propaganda since they started polling.

  44. Redfield and Wilton is a British firm, and they probably are not as beholden to the leftist media pressure to conform. They have always had a left lean though, but in this instance, they found the same exact result in their national poll, a two point Harris lead, both before and after the debate.

    It seems the Morning Consult is the leader on the left, and others are herding to them, while still others are staying the course.
