Monday, September 02, 2024

Fifty-six percent of Americans in the national survey say she has done an excellent or good job running her campaign, compared with 41% who say the same for Trump. Most, instead, rate Trump's campaign negatively.

More from the poll results...

... Notably, 93% of Democrats and 56% of independents rate Harris' campaign positively, as do 24% of Republicans in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates with fieldwork by Ipsos. Fewer across groups see Trump's campaign positively -- 79% of Republicans, 38% of independents and 13% of Democrats. ...

As to running mates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz continues to win a warmer welcome than Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Americans divide essentially evenly, 49%-50%, in confidence that Walz would be qualified to take over as president, while 57% aren't confident that Vance is qualified. And Walz is seen favorably by 42%-31%, while Vance is underwater in favorability, 32%-44%. About a quarter are unready to express an opinion of either.

At the same time, Trump continues to lead on the top concerns in the race, trust to handle the economy in general and inflation in particular, both by 8 points, and by 9 points on the immigration situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, albeit a lower-rated issue in importance in previous data. Trump also benefits from the fact that 46% call Harris too liberal -- though, on the other hand, 43% call him too conservative. ...

Another interesting chart in the poll results is the one that shows the results using registered voters and also likely voters.

Now that Labor Day is here, I would expect more polls to move towards likely voters in their results.

Yeah.

It looks like the Trump reservoir of support has sprung a leak.

I look forward to the next couple three weeks of polling as more pollsters start turning their focus towards likely voters. The poll article I linked to has a chart showing a comparison of registered voters vs likely voters,

Having said that, I also want to mention something I heard this afternoon...

"Polling often undercounts energy, enthusiasm and intensity of emotion."
- - - Larry Sabato - Univ of Virginia, Dir Center For Politics

That seems to echo what Danforth has been mentioning for weeks now, regarding the enthusiasm for ~annoyed~ (I think he said, pissed-off) women to vote.

And this is why Trump will win.

Exactly.

Look at every, and I mean EVERY election since Dobbs. Polls have been freakishly off.

KS abortion rights: polls were 47-46; results more like 60-37.

OH, just to rights ON the ballot needed a 60% supermajority. The highest poll I saw was barely over half; it got 62%.

The AL House race where a DEM won, beating the polls, after running on ONE issue.

And most recently, OH06, a +29 Trump district, which the (R) won ... but only by 9 points.

NONE of the polls were accurate.

Want some semblance of accuracy? Add 3-5 points to the Dems numbers, especially in the 10 states with women's rights on the ballot.

Never underestimate P.O.'d women!

I read my wife a tidbit I saw yesterday:

For women under 45, abortion rights has become the top issue.

OK, if you have not yet read the article, here's a summary of my #2 comment...

...
2024 Vote Preference

All adults: Harris - 50%, Trump - 46%
Registered voters: Harris - 50%, Trump - 45%
Likely Voters: Harris - 52%, Trump - 46%
...


As I have noted...

Now that we are at Labor Day, the polls will be starting to move towards Likely Voters, instead of their their prior Registered Voters frame.

Epstein's wingman is going to get curb stomped.

A new USA Today/Suffolk poll finds Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump nationally among likely voters, 48% to 43%.

Also interesting:

In June, 73% of Biden supporters predicted he would win; now 87% of Harris voters say she will, a jump of 14 points.

In June, 88% of Trump supporters said he would win. Now 76% do ' a majority, but a drop of a dozen points.

Yeah that he "no convention bounce" is utter --------, coming from the manipulated polling companies and corporate horserace media.

Great post. But your 3-5 points is likely closer to 5-10 points IMHO.
Its going to be over early for Orange Adolf on election night too once Harris wins NC then Florida.

What Nate Silver actually said...

"And third, I'll work through what will happen if Kamala Harris holds her current position in polls. Hint: she'll eventually become the favorite again. This last part is paywalled."

Because she's awful.

The only reason she has a snowball's chance in hell is the GOP was stupid enough to nominate Trump and that weirdo Vance.

I wouldn't be surprised if overall turnout isn't anywhere near 2020 due to voter apathy.

Don't Trust the Election Forecasts www.politico.com

I'm a political scientist who develops and applies machine learning methods, like forecasts, to political problems. The truth is we don't have nearly enough data to know whether these models are any good at making presidential prognostications. And the data we do have suggests these models may have real-world negative consequences in terms of driving down turnout.

#29 | Posted by et_al at 2024-09-04 10:33 PM | Reply

@#29 ... Don't Trust the Election Forecasts ...

Absolutely. A correct suggestion.

In my view, the forecasters are looking more for page hits than accuracy in their forecasts.

That is one reason (OK, maybe a major reason) why I often cite the RCP polling here on this most august site.

RCP proffers just the results of the polling, no interpretations. Just the results.

Of course, that then leaves me with trying to interpret those results.

And I come up with opinions like this one I posted...
