Monmouth: Biden +5%

[Skye]

This is a 6 to 8 point race, if there is a poll where Biden leads by 10, you accept the one where Biden's leads by 5 as well. 

The higher quality pollsters, Emerson, Monmouth etc are showing a 4-5 point race.

LOL WHAT?!?

Emerson is no less reliable than MC but the latter is beloved here

MC is hardly a "beloved pollster" here. It's not garbage-tier but we're aware it isn't one of the bests.

Emerson is a meme pollster.

Also, you're going to completely ignore every other high-rated pollster like NYT/Siena, Fox News, ABC/WaPo, NBC/WSJ, CBS, Marist, SurveyUSA, Suffolk University, etc that show Biden leading nationally by 7-10% and doing very well in most of the key states.

You always take one lukewarm poll for Biden and freak out over it. STOP IT.

Only if you ignore the NYT, ABC News, and Quinnipiac polls that have shown Biden +8, +10, and +10 in the past couple days.

Hasn't there recently been a handful of high-quality polls showing a 6-10 pt. spread, though?

Emerson was kicked out of the Economist average because of their highly questionable methodology.

monmouth had clinton up 49-46 in the same time frame 4yrs ago

[Paul Biya isn’t going far enough]

Throw it in the average and shut up about it.

There is a movement toward Trump in Monmouth polls.

Biden is currently supported by 50% of registered voters and Trump by 44%. The remaining vote is scattered across third-party candidates, including Libertarian Jo Jorgensen (2%), the Green Party’s Howie Hawkins (1%), and other candidates (1%), while 2% of voters are undecided. This is smaller than the Democrat’s lead of 51% to 42% coming out of the party conventions earlier this month. Biden’s lead over the summer had ranged from 10 to 13 points. Among likely voters, Biden currently leads Trump by 5 points (50% to 45%), with 1% each for Jorgensen and Hawkins. The Democrat had a 7-point likely voter lead earlier in the month (51% to 44%).

A combined 2% is statistical noise.

Pre-debate bump for Trump?

[Gass3268]

Interesting that this is actually an improvement for Dems in the generic ballot. Funny how that works.
