The result is actually 43-37. They have it posted incorrectly.

Not too surprising given a D+10 sample (LOL) coming from, literally, Doug Wilder's outfit (note the press release). Excerpt:

Quote:

With Virginians already voting in the presidential election, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris
leads Republican nominee Donald Trump 43% to 37%. This is a slight dip in support compared
with last month's VCU Wilder School Commonwealth Poll, which had Harris leading Trump
46% to 36%.

By party affiliation, almost 9 of 10 Democrats (86%) said they would vote for Harris, while 79%
of Republicans support Trump. Among Independents, Trump leads Harris 29% to 16%, with
16% saying they would not vote and 19% undecided. By age demographics, 18- to 24-year-olds
are breaking for Harris (42% to 37%), as they were in VCU Wilder School's previous poll in
early September. Interestingly, the trend among older voters, ages 55 to 65, continuing to support
Harris is seen in the new poll as well (56% to 36%).

L. Douglas Wilder, the 66th governor of Virginia, said, "The slip in the Harris lead, though not
alarming, should be a wake-up call, as the sampling error of plus or minus 4.64 sends a message.
Independents could make a real difference. The race in Virginia could be decided by who gets
their voters to turn out, and voting has already started."
This yet again re-confirms the independents breaking against Harris as we approach election week. The trend among older voters being +20 for Harris seems…absurd to me, but it's what they had to work with, obviously.

Background there, Philly is Ed Rendell's old stomping ground where he had a machine. I remember him complaining in 2008 that he needed more "walking around money" to get the working class and minority neighborhoods out to vote.

Makes sense. Sell trucks to a LOT of customers originally from Arab countries or East African countries and they skew probably 70% trump I would say.

Lots of small business owners in that demographic.

There's a bunch of wonky stuff going on

Trump setting records with Hispanic, black, Arab, union support but still behind? I don't buy it

More on hispanics trending Trump, even in…gulp, Philadelphia/PA (and Nevada):
Quote:

Tony Fabrizio, a pollster for the Trump campaign, told NPR, "I don't care whose national poll you look at even yours, from NPR it is really very clear that she is underperforming with Hispanics, not only nationally, but in these two key states."
And in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports the same shift is happening, even in deep blue Philly.
Quote:

Gabriel Lopez grew up in a family of Democrats in the Kensington neighborhood of deep-blue Philadelphia. So in 2016, the first presidential election he was old enough to vote in, he picked Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
But Lopez, now 27, says his views have changed. He switched his registration to Republican this year, and he plans to vote for Trump, who's running for president a third time...
Harris' best opportunity to run up her vote total is in Philly, where 20% of the state's Democrats live, but where Democrats bled more votes in 2020 than in any other county. Biden performed worse than Clinton in 41 of the city's 66 political wards...
The trend was consistent across racial groups, though it was most pronounced in majority-Latino neighborhoods.
The story offers this striking factoid about voter registration in the city.
Quote:

Since the end of 2023, the GOP gained more than 10,300 registrants in Philadelphia, while Democrats netted about 9,800, according to data from the Department of State. The number of unaffiliated voters is roughly flat.
But beyond the shift in registrations, Democrats may have an enthusiasm problem. One SEIU member told the Inquirer the biggest challenge was convincing people to vote at all.
A 17 point shift among 'non-college educated voters of color' toward Trump nationally:

(Also, LOL @ "News treason" as a user handle.)

Nice. McCormick is closing in fast. In your experience, are all senate polls this weird? I do not know what to believe, some look ridiculous they are so far apart.

Republicans have a history of closing strong in polling. It could be that they do attract more independents and soft Republicans as we get closer to elections or it could be that polling tries to get more accurate in their last polling.

Now break it down into married vs unmarried and you'll find the problem with our voting.

Last poll I saw was Trump around 60% with married women and >70% with married men.

This puts a lot of weight on young people, especially young women. Take that demographic out and the numbers would swing heavily Trump. This demographic has been heavily indoctrinated and looks to daddy, government, for support.

I believe the 18-29 demographic that was largely Dem has been shifting hard to Rep the last few years.

The men in that demographic have gone hard to the right, the women have gone hard to the left. That is part of why the Dems are so heavily favored in the unmarried single female demographic.

I'm seeing/hearing a lot of this. Even in states Trump isn't going to win, such as NY and NJ... Harris's advantage has really declined (up to 10% in some cases) when comparing current polls to the same polls at the same time in 2020.

If Trump wins the general election by two points we're not talking about NC or GA or AZ or even PA, Mi, or Wi; we're talking about MN, NH, VA and NM.

I cannot see him winning the popular vote but man it would make for an amazing night of tv

I really dislike it when they push out battleground polls that are like this rather than by individual states. But, still, good news for Trump. Especially given the pollster

Yeah I hate that. If Trump is up 2-3% in NC, AZ, Ga, it means he's likely underwater or even in the other states, and he really needs at least one of the big ones

Michigan is a 0.7% RCP average lead for Harris now. It was 5.7 for Biden on election night. Won by 2.78%

Michigan is going to be interesting, A lot of country folks in Michigan, and union workers are not in lockstep with DEMs this election. Also the Muslim Mayor endorsing Trump did not help. Hezbollah getting torched isn't helping either.
