A new Morning Consult poll shows Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump nationally, 51% to 45%.

Key takeaway: “Her 51% of support among likely voters, which is also at a record high, is driven largely by her best figures to date among Democrats, Biden 2020 voters, liberals, women, 18- to 34-year-olds and millennials.

      • Nah our approach to polls is fundamentally misguided based on the way we communicate in 2024 - most of them still rely on essentially wardialing a target area until someone answers, so it fundamentally skews toward an older crowd and those gullible enough to take a phone call from an unknown number.

          Oh nooooo you obviously don’t understand mathematics! No no, no you see these days they have people sign up online to take a poll whenever the polling company is ready and then they’ll get emailed a link, see, with the poll and they’ll go to that link to give their opinion about the pressing matters of the day! See?

          It’s pretty much an exact 1:1 analogue of how people think when they’re by themselves cleaning the kitchen or whatever. I mean, exact. How strongly do you feel about Dawn diswashing detergent? 5?
