      I don’t listen to polls anymore… Unless it’s blowout numbers like 10 or more. If polls were real indicators, Hillary would have been elected in 2016. Even Trump had no clue he would win that’s why he was calling it rigged before even a single vote was cast. He didn’t have a victory speech prepared. I am 44 years old and never been polled in my life. I don’t know anyone that’s ever been polled.

    As a polling nerd from Polisci, I'm not taking polls seriously from this point forward. There are serious problems in sampling due to older more conservative voters being most likely to have a land line and younger more progressive voters being cell phone only and extremely unlikely to answer. The signal to noise ratio is gone to hell and its only going to get worse.

      The problem is, Biden has huge difficulty in creating any kind of enthousiasm but you're kind of stuck with him. I even think he did relatively well given the circumstances but people don't feel it and the "ruling" party tends to get punished for things they can't really change (Ukraine, Gaza, inflation, Taiwan, ...). Sucks but turnout is going to be the game. Just have to hope Biden continues to outperform with old people because they do still vote.

But once it was a "push poll" where the poster asked if I would be willing to vote for the Democratic candidate if I knew he was a criminal. He wasn't, but she kept asking questions based on the premise that he was with various crimes being alleged. At one point pretty far into the survey, I said, "Hey, wait. This is a push poll!" and she responded, "Gee, ya think???" I reported the incident to everywhere I thought would help, but I never heard anything about now former US Sen.

He would seriously be blocked from passing bills. And he's be a lame duck Pres. He would focus on getting revenge through Project 2025 garbage in the Esxecutive Branch- DOJ, FBI, etc and trying to reverse climate actions for Big Oil.
