Seems like the RFK GOP plan might be back firing. If you look at his platform it was built to take from Trump. Conspiracy vs the “deepstate” and I’m a well known rich guy.

“I can’t wait to see Trump’s reaction to this. Will he blame it on ‘fake news’ or come up with some other excuse for his plummeting popularity?

Here come all the people with comments about how inaccurate polls are and how they don’t “trust” polls, blah blah blah blah. Same comments every. single. time.
It’s a poll, 6 months before the election. Yes, things will change between now and then. No, this is not a sampling from every single voter in the entire country like an actual vote is.
It’s just a poll, and it’s **assumed** to be inaccurate for those very reasons. However, this does not make it completely worthless, it’s an estimate of the current state of the election, it helps guide campaigns on where and how they should focus their limited resources, there’s some *statistics* involved that help make the inaccurate, limited polling of just a small handful of people show how a larger sampling would react.
Just take polling for what it is. We don’t need the endless, whiny, comments about polls every damned time a poll is posted.

I really wish these stupid headlines would go away, the only people who polls matter to this far out are literally the people working for the campaigns.
Every single one of those polls are only useful to people fine-tuning a message to the general public. I get that they want to publish “something” everyday but maybe they could focus on actual things like doing deep dives like asking hard questions or not caring so much about access and focusing on doing the job of asking hard questions, digging up information and overall informing people rather than what seems to be the main focus of “Look at me, I have nothing to add to the general conversation but I only get money from clicks so I’ll churn out nonsense so people will look”.
It might surprise journalists at media outlets that many of us would absolutely give them money for articles if they had a “tip jar”, especially if they did real reporting rather than parroting whatever thing comes out of the mouths of the powerful. Oh and enough with the stupid polls, they’re useless to the average public right now.
Edited: words.

Just wait until we get closer and these polls have a bit more meaning.
Regardless, get out and vote. Vote hard! Make everyone you know get out and vote. Help them get to polling stations. This vote will kick Trump to the curb!!

>However, many experts and academics have cautioned against relying on polls to try to predict the outcome of the election rematch. Thomas Gift, who heads the Centre on U.S. Politics at University College London, previously told Newsweek that reading too much into polls was “a fool’s errand.” “Polls are so variable at this point that the only consistent insight we can glean from them is that Biden and Trump are neck and neck—not only nationally but in key swing states,” he said.
Newsweek should have put this quote at the beginning of this article and every other polling article they publish.

FIX – THE – HEADLINE
Newsweek is using the phrase “Battleground State” to hide the fact that they are talking about Arizona. Trump has been behind in other battleground state polls.

“Arizona” is 11 fewer characters than “battleground state” ffs

Cool beans. Doesn’t matter – vote! If you can legally vote then do it. Doesn’t matter if you’re the only one voting for Biden or one of everyone else or what the polls or what the news say – VOTE!

Vote. Make a plan. Get others to vote. Polls like this are interesting but all that really matters is voting.

Feels weird saying this, but thank you Newsweek for not consulting Trump’s PR team to find an approved photo of him posing as a fake strong man for the camera. More outlets need to do this.

An outlier 550 person survey is not worthy of a national news article. Focus on poll trends over individual polls.

It’s so close blah-blah-blah, back and forth, whatever. Meanwhile “Republicans” are getting thrashed in special elections.

Pennsylvania News
“For the first time in at least 16 years, the Democratic and Republican parties in Pennsylvania are within half a million registered voters of one another.
“Since 2008, Democrats’ registration edge over Republicans has steadily shrunk — from a 12% advantage in April 2008 to about a 4% advantage in April 2024.”

MAGA just lost a recall election by 20 points in a district that Trump won by 20 points in 2020. Ignore the stupid polls, just vote and bring friends.

Awkward-Ambassador52 on
Polling has been way off with a Republican State Senator losing their seat in a wipe out in MI yesterday. Every poll has been on average 11 points off since Roe V. Wade was over turned. Now with states taking rights we will see an even much larger shift. Fox news even talks about this new phenomenon. Everyone vote to make a statement and realize a close race is a good motivator not a good measure.

Why do I keep reading about his lead in the polls, yet also keep hearing about his election loses?
Are the polls wrong, or am I simply being told about the results he was already likely to lose?? (Meaning the overall polls are right)
