The 2016 election should NEVER be brought up as a valid example of polling inadequacies. That was the direct result JohnSJ Oct 2024 #5

I understand that...but I do see similarities in the late campaigning by big name Democrat surrogates. Freethinker65 Oct 2024 #7

All of that campaigning by Obama, including the rally in Philly at the end, were planned in advance. lees1975 Oct 2024 #13

Bullshit, NBC. Way to set up a national crisis when Harris wins. valleyrogue Oct 2024 #8

fuckoff, loons Xoan Oct 2024 #11

And yet, three other network polls including Fox, ABC/Ipsos, CBS and CNN all have her in the lead 3-6 points. lees1975 Oct 2024 #12
