Humorously- I do all but clipboard a sentiment for every posting about polls. But I do so regardless of which party or issue they favor. That post is generally 'a lead does not exist unless it is outside margin of error.' In this case that does not apply for either side.


The issue here is that this was an online poll (which are notoriously less accurate) and that they weighted to come up with the results. The second item could be an issue because we are in a period that could be much like the 90s when the South moved noticeable towards Rs even when voters were registered and identified as Democrats. At the moment huge swaths of suburbanites and Westerners that have been Rs are trending Dem. The question is if that is longer term like the realignment in the South or shorter term like Indiana/NC going Dem in 2008 or Massachusetts electing an R Senator after Kennedy's death.


As I posted earlier- if the uptick for Trump is entirely in the safest D states/districts it will not impact how Democrats and swing state/district Rs approach the current controversies. But if Tillis, Gardner, and Collins want to go all in with a vigorous defense of Trump and attacking whistleblowers and investigators, please proceed...

So somehow they were within 2% for ALL the other Presidents of the past but yet the skills of 538 and AI and putting together all the polls with weighting is FAR off.

That's fantastic.

You can make some real points that aren't "alternative facts" like "I think Trump support will solidify near an election" but that's different from saying that thousands of polls combined aren't within a couple points.

The trend of the polls is also accurate - whether up or down.

I know there is a tendency to be in backwards world these days - down is up, democracy and free trade are bad, the rule of law and norms are bad, journalism is bad and Reality TV is accurate...but, c'mon.

One has to use reason...to understand that no one really cares about Joe Biden. Biden isn't the issue although we know you attack dogs would go after Ghandi himself if he seemed like a threat to your master.

The issue is a BIG ONE. Perhaps the largest in the history of this nation. We have NEVER had a POTUS impeached and removed from office in our history. We have only ONCE had an elected President impeached and that - you can admit - was for nothing (Clinton).

This is then the first time in US History where an elected sitting Presidents is being considered for ACTUAL Impeachment for real transgressions against the Nation. That's BIG. Bigger than Joe Biden or name calling.

If he does get removed from office - which is very unlikely considering the treasonous Senate - it would be the first in the history of the Republic.

Try to focus on the log jam rolling down the river, not the speck of sawdust on the floor.

Things can change but Trump's approval rating has only been 49% or better in 7 of the last 125 polls over the last 6 months. The recent average is 43%.

I'm laser focused on the truth and good governance which President Trump is delivering both in spades.

What good governance? His campaign manager is sitting in prison and his cabinet is nowhere close to the "best people" he promised. The only good cabinet officials (Mattis, Coats, McMaster) are long gone.

Pray educate us on exactly how that is? Preferably a scientific source relative to survey methodology.

Interesting that both ends of the wealth spectrum are Trumpsters....the poor because they truly believe their lot will be better because Trump actually cares about them...and the rich because they know he's full of ish but don't care as long as he tilts all taxes and regulations in their favor. Equally pathetic.

This politically motivated weaponization of the impeachment process appears to be backfiring on them. Yet again.
That's not the latest HarrisX poll, the Sept 30-Oct 3 has him at 45% approval 55% disapproval. A big fat 4 point drop from the Sept 28-29th poll you are discussing.

This just shows that opinions aren't changing much regardless of what happens. I believe that many pundits are correct in that the election result will be 100% based on partisan turnout and Trump's actions will change very few opinions (most registered independents vote for the same political party every election).

This latest politically motivated effort by the Democrat left to oust the duly elected President of the United States by non-electoral means is not having the desired effect. It is not working.
Also recall the article about the increase in donations to both the Trump Campaign and the RNC both had a boost in donations. I was also compelled to donate a few times in small donations. I love that most donations since the impeachment inquiry have been in small donations. Says a lot!
