*****BREAKING A RATED MARIST POLL***** Harris 51% TFG 47%

U.S. Presidential Contest, November 2024
Harris +4 Points Against Trump Nationally




https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/u-s-presidential-contest-november-2024/


DSB'S NOTES:

Marist is rated 6th out of 280 polls, That's an A in my book
A four point national lead is very likely to lead to an Electoral College win. That's what virtually all the forecasters predict

I am ashamed to share the same country with these idiots. There are too many dumbasses supporting him.

There have been half decent Republican candidates who have far lower support ratings in past elections , while this asshole gets this much? That tells me he appeals to the lowest of the low and there are a lot of dusty ass no shit people in this country.

It seems that the Feeling has done nothing and offers nothing to encourage people who haven’t voted for him to vote for him now. And he has convinced almost 0 Harris voters to vote for him. He might have only gained enough votes to fill a small basketball arena in the whole country.

VPOTUS Harris, on the other hand, has likely convinced 100s of time more voters to vote for her, that were on the fence about whether to vote or vote for her, as well as several of his former supporters. She has done more to encourage people about why they should vote for her than he has to convince pale to vote for him.


I’d be surprised if he gets as many votes as he did in 2020. I expect Harris will exceed Biden’s totals or at least come close to his numbers

38. Turnout may still break records, but early voting numbers are partly due to an R strategic shift.
Mon Nov 4, 2024, 02:01 PM
Nov 2024

They're voting early in much larger numbers than in most prior elections. In Florida, for example, they have a one million vote edge in early voting over Democrats.

Total turnout can't be easily extrapolated by looking at prior elections because so much has changed.

Of course, as a result of the shift, the usual R edge on election day will very likely be smaller than many expected. As noted, turnout might still break records, but that depends on how many shifted to voting early.

I've never been polled before, was pretty stright forward with the questions, except there was one that had a list of 10 or 12 fruits, what was my favorite. End of the poll was basic stuff, age, income, education...could a reporter contact me. Took maybe 10 minutes tops. I was contacted by a text.

once the gap is greater than three percentage points it pretty well insures you against countervailing quirks of the electoral college system.

Too bad they round off the totals and don't go down to the tenth of a percent. Then her margin could legitimately be reported as 5% in this poll (which is 25% bigger and more impressive than the 4% margin reported here)

Trump (51%) has a slight lead against Harris (46%), among independents, comparable to what the two candidates received in early October.

Trump (53%) has majority support among those who say they have yet to vote.

Gen Z and Millennials (56%) and Baby Boomers (55%) break for Harris. Trump (53%) receives majority support among the Silent/Greatest Generation. Members of Gen X divide (51% for Trump to 48% for Harris).

Of course there were other details that were good for Harris, but you asked about the sobering bits.

Someone just made it up, and we latched on to it. He's been higher than 47% in many individual polls and up to 48% in some aggregated poll averages, including the NYT.

To be clear, I don't think he'll get more than 47%, but the assertion that it is and always was a hard ceiling isn't really supported by facts.

46.1% in 2016 and 46.8% in 2020. So I'm just saying any poll that has had him nationally over 47% is probably a point or 2 off in Trump's favor.
So if NBC has them both at 49% that probably means all of their polls are off by a few points. Depending on their modeling. Including swing states which would mean Harris would take all 7

And everyone needs to look at what Alan Lichtman has said. Just google his name. He's been interviewed a lot this election cycle.

Far too many of those interviewers just don't listen to what he says, and don't bother to even speed-read his keys.
