The polls have shown Donald Trump with an edge for eight straight months, but theres a sign his advantage might not be quite as stable as it looks: His lead is built on gains among voters who arent paying close attention to politics, who dont follow traditional news and who dont regularly vote.

(This is the opening of a Nate Cohn article form the NYTimes digest I get in my email daily. I dont subscribe to the NYT just the digest version.
There is no link to the article so I cant post that, or even look at NYT for it since I dont subscribe)
I am posting this to ask if anyone who does subscribe could see if there was a full article from today with more info.
You dont have to post it in this thread if you want to start a new thread on it, if it even shows polling data, anomolies etc.
also heres a pic from the article :
It might be an interesting post. I did search to see if anyone had posted this and dont see it .
Thanks

(7,922 posts)Right now, he's basically a stand-in for disengaged people that don't like either option, but disengaged people that don't like either option (1) are probably less likely to vote at all come November and (2) when/if they become engaged and knowledgeable about the race, odds are they will not vote for him.
Now, moving on to Trump, Trump obviously has his MAGA support, but he's also getting support from disengaged people that don't like that their McDouble went up in price under Biden and are blaming him for it. Once again, (1) and (2) from above also apply here as well.

(15,844 posts)The NYT poll has been shown repeatedly to have deeply flawed methodology, and the numbers should never be used, except as evidence of poor polling methodology.
