So just like that, Mark Penn has Harris at +1

[speak easy]

after being one of the most active pro-Trump pollsters of all.

New Forbes/HarrisX Survey: Harris And Trump In Near-Dead Heat 1 Day Before Election

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are statistically tied in the final Forbes/HarrisX pre-election survey, with Harris showing a razor-thin one-point lead—the latest poll to show there’s no clear leader just a day before the election.

Harris leads Trump 49%-48% among likely voters—within the one-point margin of error—in a four-way race with third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West on the ballot, with 2% backing West and 1% backing Stein (the results include those who have already voted, and account for respondents who are undecided but leaning toward one candidate).

1. RW polls flooding the zone at the end. But, what does this have to do with Mark Penn?

[speak easy]

3. Penn has Forbes as a client.

He can't stray too far from the real polls at the end.

6. "He can't stray?" This is a Forbes poll and it is RW biased as are most right now.

They are all doing everything possible to adjust their polls findings to "fit in" with the others and not be outliers--making them useless.

7. Forbes got it real wrong last time?

CYA.

2. Why in the world would anybody listen to Mark Penn? Nt

4. He is Forbes' pollster.

Widely reported. For example, The Hill :-

Former President Trump has taken a 2-point lead over Vice President Harris nationally, according to a new poll conducted by HarrisX and Forbes.

The poll found Trump leading Harris, 51 percent to 49 percent. In a September survey, Harris led by 4 points.

13. Red Wave pollster who can be safely ignored. Nt

8. Pollsters who want future credibility need a credible final poll

So they release one closer to reality with a margin of error they think will absolve them of error if someone looks back to see how they did during the last election.

This happens every cycle.

And then some numbnut points to the last polls and says they were right, so the polls arent bad.

Its part of the bs.

This is fourth or fifth poll to do this today that weve seen. Lots will do it we wont catch.

9. Yep, the closer to the center and even they get, the better their chance of hitting in the margin of error.

If it's a two point spread, it's harder to get within the MOE. One is safe. Unless she wins by 7 or 8.

10. My poll comes out Nov 6

11. He's been a Trump +2-4 for some time.

Either he’s adjusting to not be wrong or she saw a surge recently. Both good.

14. 2% backing West

West won't get .3%. Ridiculous.
