I actually think it should be lean R, but that account that is tweeting that out is fake and Cook has not changed the race.

Well, damn. Cook is never a leading indicator anyway.

While I appreciate that at least somebody is polling Texas, given its methodology I wouldn't put much stock in this one, which, given its heavily online components, doesn't even post an official margin of error.

That being said, I don't think it is too far off, though I would expect both Trump and Cruz to do 2-3 points better than that.

While there are very few actual internals in what passes for this poll's "crosstabs," one thing that did stick out to me is that the unweighted number of responses were basically flip-flopped in terms of the actual college vs. non-college voting population of Texas.

Although they weighted the poll to account for that discrepancy, given how they likely identified and recruited their respondents, even the non-college respondents are likely a bit less Trumpy than the voters they are intended to represent.

Bovada now has Trump at -120 and Kamala as Even. These are the best odds I've seen since before the debate.

Black males continue to get off the plantation of the DEM party. Expect a small percentage of black women too.

Also the Hispanics in PA are flocking to Trump. Big part of that areas population.

I like these new polls. Singling out actual groups

So, I'll ask the question:

What good do these polls serve?

Turning politics into WWE RAW?

I'd say they do have a percentage point or two point on the election effect

On the last Baris and Barnes podcast they discussed the lack of requests for MIB and how that helps R's not only in winning their races but that it makes rampant cheating much more difficult because there aren't thousands of paper ballots that can magically appear at 3am because they don't exist like they did in 2020.

I love this thread because of the plethora of information but I may never follow polls again. They're so wildly varied.

Pennsylvania:
Trump +1.6

Wisconsin:
Trump +.3

Michigan:
Trump +1.5

Georgia:
Trump +1

North Carolina:
Trump +.5

Nevada:
Harris +1

Arizona:
Trump +1.8

Just like modeling physical phenomena in the sciences: all models are wrong, but some are useful.

The only thing polls are good for this cycle are trends. Who knows what is right when one poll has Harris +3 vs another that has Trump +2.

But if the same poll had Harris +6 and over the course of a month it moves to Harris +4 and then Harris +2, then that is very telling. Still that operates under the assumption that they don't change their means and methods.

I've only come to trust the RCP Average right now and see the trends within it. Right now, the trend has slightly favored Trump from where it was right after the debate.

Trump very smartly declined another debate. The polls are never kind to him after a debate, the electorate loves the idea of Trump but don't like Trump himself. And I think his crassness and demeanor during a debate reminds people they don't like his personality, polls shift away from him, then after a few weeks they start to shift back because people forget and go back to policies.

This media blitz by Kamala most likely means her internal polling is telling her she needs to step it up. The exact opposite reaction of Biden 4 years ago where is internals were saying he doesn't have to campaign at all because the polls are in his favor big time.

I totally agree. I said this a few days ago that I heard a pollster on Dan Abrams radio show say that the days of polling being an exact science have long since past and now it is all about multi poll averages and trends.

The trend is clearly going in Trump's favor right now. No question

Now that the newness (pro-Demicrat response bias) of the Kamala switcheroo has begun to wane, the race is settling back into its default position, where it was before the Biden debate collapse; a slight Trump lead.

Sample was 530d/465ind/414R

They use mathematical weights to try to make up for the difference.

Trump up by 1.2% with F:M split of 54-46 weighting. Exit polls had 2020 at 52-48.

Thank you. This is a great post explaining how pollsters can get it wrong despite knowing that their sample is not representative and trying to correct it with weighting. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Yep, more evidence that they still can't (or won't) reach the more Trumpy parts of the electorate.

A good sample should have about 3% more Republicans than Democrats.

My favorite thing about this thread is that every poll that looks better for Kamala, my brain automatically discounts because it's not what I want.

I am aware of this psychological phenomenon and it still happens. I can't help but ponder how many people are less self aware and so easily manipulated.
