Poll: Trump Loses More Ground

Thursday, October 17, 2024

In the presidential contest, Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump by five points among likely voters, including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a candidate. The race gets closer, however, among registered voters nationally. Here, three points separate the two candidates.

The public polls are pure trash and even the liberals know that. They are meant to FORM public opinion rather than simply report on it. Internal polls show Kamala sinking quickly which is why she is on her disastrous press tour now and why the bettings odds have her getting crushed (betting odds are smart money from poll insiders).

It should become standard practice for all polls to be forced to state their error from their prior projection to actual results as a disclaimer on all their publications.

For instance, on this article, Marist would be forced to state *2020 error was D+5*

Similarly, garbage polls like Quinnipiac would need to state *2020 error was D+9*

With this actual discloser, they could no longer form opinion as their polls would be rightly rejected due to highly biased nature of their polling methodology.

Finally, in applying their error from 2020, we would then logically conclude that the true numbers are more like a tie at the national level which means Trump wins the EC easily. Dems need to win popular vote by 3-4% to win the EC.

It's good that Harris leading in the popular vote but, as we all know, that isn't always enough. Where does she stand in the electoral vote?

The only ground that matters are the swing states.

And republicans got that covered.

FACT: Once the winner has 3% or more of the total popular vote, it is mathematically impossible for the loser to get 270 (or more) Electoral Votes.

Because YOYOW, an update to my #11:
