Compare that to the polls from 2016 and 2020. Momentum is really building.

The Ohio 16 and 20 numbers are crazy. He won by like 9 both times.

Bonkers469 say Trump needs an onside kick to have a chance.

can you imagine if the polls in 2024 are as off as they were in 2016 and 2020?

That would mean Trump would run away winning the popular vote. He would win the popular vote by as much as Hillary did in 2016 if these polls are aligned with the past couple elections. That would be an amazing rejection of the woke agenda by the American populace

Just please don’t be rigged

One would think pollsters would want to get it as close to right as possible.
Otherwise, who cares?
If we're going with assumption that the pollsters are learning from their prior mistakes, is it possible that these polls are closer to what will be than similar polls in 16 and 20?

Of those 7 swing states if Trump outperformed the polls by roughly the same margin he did in the past 2 elections this would be the win margin for Trump in each state’s election:

Wisconsin Trump +6
Pennsylvania Trump +6
Michigan Trump +4.8
Arizona Trump +4.5
Nevada Trump +4
North Carolina Trump +6
Georgia Trump +4.8

Bonus:
Ohio Trump +15
Florida Trump +12

I recall conversation about pollsters adjusting their methods after the 2016 embarrassment so it probably won't be 10 points off like before.

the problem is, they adjusted after 2016, and were just as off in 2020

They don't know how to find Trump voters, because Trump voters don't want to be found. Simple as that.

Funny thing is I wandered over to DU the other day and they are convinced polling is skewed positively toward Trump. Their idea is that Trump voters love to brag about being Trump voters so we'd happily answer a phone call to tell the pollster we're voting for Trump.

Just a picture of the delusion they live in.

I love how they think Ohio & Florida are swing states but there’s wider margin there than in MN.

FL and OH are not swing states and after this election you probably can move them from lean red to solid red. If he overperforms like he did in 2016 and 2020 than no cheating will be able to stop him and this will be a landslide. Not that is matters, but their hold on the national popular vote may be in jeopardy at this point. It would be nice if he does get the popular vote though so they can shut the frick up about muh democracy.

Those states would all get called by midnight in that case. Probably earlier.

I know what you are saying but I was stunned when I realized last year while visiting - during Covid, plus a couple of years before and after - there have been more people who moved to Florida, than Alabama has living in it.

5 million more people live in Florida to enable the cheat.
