I understand the need for this, but why it is needed is infuriating.

Someone is lying again.
Wow! Just announced that ABC television ratings plummeted after David Muirâs disastrous debate performance. As accurately stated in the New York Post, âABC debate disaster already punishing ratings, because America is sick of Journalists lies.â

i have no âfaithâ in national polling done in the last (ohâŚ) twenty years, but there is some information in trends. that is, if one particular polling agency does a poll roughly the same way with a month or so in between then that contains something besides noise (sez me). so NBC:
NBC Poll Has Harris +5%; CBS Gives Harris +4% Lead

Two US TV News networks show Kamala Harris improving her position in national polls.
NBC News Poll: Harris Leads 49%-44%
The new NBC National Poll has Kamala Harris leading 49% to 44% over Donald Trump among registered voters. In the July version of the poll, Harris led by 2 points. âŚ
this is good. needs to be even bigger to counter the republican dirty tricks, but âŚthis is good [coffee surping sound]

I keep hearing that what REALLY matters is the swing states, that Harris can win the popular vote by many millions but still lose the electoral college, and that Repugnican shenanigans will greatly erode Harrisâs support in the crucial swing states, and so on.
Maybe Iâm just infected by corporate media messaging or something, but I do wonder what value national polling really has. And thus, whether any sort of lead that Harris manages to gain in them really matters. I remember how convinced liberals were that Clinton was going to beat Tromp in a landslide (and she pretty much did-- in the national vote count).

I actively avoid polling information the way I actively avoid any other toxic and potentially harmful bit of verbiage online. Paying attention to polls has only ever influenced my own personal life negatively fwiw.
I read âPollâ the same way I read âBreakingâ in a headline and I implicitly accept that this is essentially a highly collaborative âop edâ that I can hallucinate anything I want into⌠and then I scroll.

Just as well. âTrump Door-Knockerâ doesnât conjure the image of two awkward people with clipboards and pamphlets.

I have no idea how this will play out and this guy is a democrat in name only but still.
Heâs a Muslim and Yemeni immigrant.
He met with trump a few days ago in Flint, MI where they negotiated this endorsement. I wonder what trump promised him.

Probably a firm and solemn promise that the leopards would eat his face last.
