Electoral college karma?

https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-trump-ahead-harris-2-points-nationally

Former President Trump is ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential contest 50%-48%, according to a new Fox News national survey. That’s a reversal from last month, when Harris had a narrow advantage.
Harris, however, is ahead by 6 points among voters from the seven key battleground states

Their national poll seems like a bit of an outlier. I think everyone else has Harris slightly ahead.

+6 in the battleground states is the real news in that poll.

Enthusiasm for Kamala is just too high.

(and actually expect) Kamala to win both the popular and electoral college vote. But there would be a delicious irony if, as suggested by this poll, she lost the former and won the latter.

Basically all of the small states are red. If we could flip a few of those, maybe, but I don't know where we would.

Are they polling only registered Republicans?
