no :/

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Useless poll.

Useless poll.

Just average it in with the rest. Obama's best polls currently show him up by 10-12 points on Romney; Romney's best polls show him 1-2 ahead of Obama. Average them, and you're probably closer to the truth, though of course we'll never know for sure.

Any and all national polls are useless.

Did you know that in a strictly two man race, we could have a winner that carried ~270 electoral votes yet only ~25% of the popular vote (winning his states with 50%+1 while carrying zero in all others). While that would never occur, it demonstrates the fallacy of national polling.

Less, actually, if the guy who got the vast majority won all the states like California, Texas and NY.

But I think national polls are generally a good indicator of how the states will vote.

And the electoral college system in general.

Jesus.

Deffo an outlier though.

[Kamala-Tim 2024]

I shall concur with the Majority!

No way this is accurate.

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

Before conventions, polling tend to be more liberal, and after conventions they tend to be more conservative. It will be a close race regardless of what the polls are justifying now.

Before conventions, polling tend to be more liberal, and after conventions they tend to be more conservative.

So, polling behaves the opposite of Mitt Romney?  Interesting...

[หมูเด้ง]

This would be an interesting and possible outcome. Though it is a bit of wishful thinking.


Obama 55
Romney 44
Other 1

When you think about it, there's some many redneck states that unless Obama pushes 57, there isn't much change in the EVs.

Why would IN flip back when Obama wins a greater PV than in 2008?
