    Of course, we can compare all this to 2020, when the polls were showing Trump behind nationally AND in pretty much all swing states and the betting markets and we were trying to come up with ways that he could win if the polls were wrong, etc.

    There is no doubt Trump is in a better place in both polling nationally, polling swing states and betting markets than 2020.

    The question is are the polls still skewed against him, or have the pollsters made adjustments they claim to have.

    Is there a bigger gender gap than reported? Is abortion a bigger issue than reported? Is there a hidden Trump vote not reported?

    Yes and no. Quinnipiac, at least in several states have corrected their 2020 polling error. If they haven’t then Trump is on his way to a HUGE 42 state win and +6 in the popular vote.

    But I don’t believe Redfield and Wilton, Marist, CNN, and Morning Consult have changed anything from their methodology.

    “Is there a bigger gender gap than reported?”

    In the last 14 national polls there is not one that shows Harris with better than +3 nationally. And even then only 2 that show her +3 which is probably what she needs to eke out an EC win.

    Even with NY, CA, IL, NJ at tighter margins than 2024 it is hard to see a win in the midwest with that many “wasted” votes in those populous states.

I keep meaning to say that as I am loading polls into the history, even ones never talked about here, I am noticing a return to normalcy in the deep blue and deep red states, where earlier polls showed Harris weakness in dark blue states, and Trump weakness in red states, that this has now partly corrected to norms of what we might expect in late polling.

    In other words, if Trump is up in national polling, it means he is positioned to win all the battleground states, and not fall short because Harris is way off the 2020 mark in CA, MA, NY, CO, WA, MD, and IL.
