Interesting polls

The changing black support remains to be seen, but how wonderful that would be!

Newt Gingrich says 'breathtaking' new polling could signal Trump is headed for 'blowout' victory​


It won’t be that easy, I’m not falling for it.
 
There are a couple of polls showing Biden in the lead now in a 5-way race, but most still have Trump ahead. These polls sowing Biden "surging" have typically been outliers, likely so the media will have something sensational to report, and those polls have been flipping back after a couple of weeks. And, most of them have been conducted by the media themselves or colleges, not professional polling agencies. So I wouldn't put much stock in any single poll. This is why I usually post poll averages.

Just remember...Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary by 2.1%, yet still won in the electoral college. The numbers there still show Trump winning easily. He is still leading in every single battleground state, and is very close to flipping two "blue" states.

Beyond that...there are several dynamics that are hard to predict. Just how much has Trump actually gained among blacks and Hispanics? Some of the polls show significant gains, but it's hard to gauge. I've read that it's harder to get accurate polling from minorities.

Then there's the question of turnout. There's good indication that some of Biden's voters won't go to the polls because they aren't happy with him. But will the same happen to Trump because of the conviction? No one really knows about either of these.

Will mail-in voting be abused again? I wish I was more confident that it's been fixed, but I'm not.

And, of course, the question of whether or not they will replace Biden. I'm still leaning that they won't, but it could happen. Gonna be seriously interesting if they do, though.
 
Some weird stuff going on with the polls. While there are a couple of polls showing Biden has retaken the lead in the popular vote, other polls show Trump with an even greater lead. Note the Rasmussan poll, which is typically one of the more respected.

Why the difference between the polls all of a sudden? That's a good question. I'll just state that the two showing Biden back in the lead were done my media outlets, you can draw your own conclusions.

 
Latest polls show Minnesota leaning Trump. An uphill battle, I suspect, but it would be a flip if it does go Trump.


Virginia is a dead heat, which would be another major flip if Trump was to win. In he poll linked below; even though the two men are tied, Trump would seem to have the advantage in favorability and confidence numbers. If Trump was to pick Youngkin as his VP, that might flip the state.

 
New polls out. Those outliers showing Biden "surging" are falling down the page.

Trump vs Biden https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden

5-way poll https://www.realclearpolling.com/po...24/trump-vs-biden-vs-kennedy-vs-west-vs-stein

No toss-up map stays the same, which I expected https://www.realclearpolling.com/maps/president/2024/no-toss-up/electoral-college

Little change in battleground states, Trump still leading in all https://www.realclearpolling.com/elections/president/2024/battleground-states

Minnesota is still one to watch. One polls shows a tie, the other Trump leading by one point. Could go either way, but refreshing to see since the state hasn't went for a Republican since 1972.

Trump leading in Virginia by 0.2 point, a statistical tie. This one will also be fun to watch.
 
None of the polls matter, this is what really matters:

Report: 7.4M Eligible Foreigners Could Swing Election​


The roughly 7.4 million foreign nationals who are eligible for naturalization in the U.S. could help swing the election in five battleground states, The Hill reportedThursday.

Citing a report from the American Immigration Council, The Hill reported that the foreigners eligible for naturalization outnumber the 2020 margin of victory most acutely in Georgia and Arizona.

In Arizona, 164,000 people are eligible to apply for citizenship and the 2020 vote difference there was 10,457 in President Joe Biden's favor. Biden's margin of victory in Georgia was roughly 11,700 votes in 2020, and there are more than 153,000 people eligible for naturalization in the Peach State, according to The Hill.
