(10,833 posts)Between this poll by Dartmouth College and the Seller Iowa poll it does seem like it might be a blowout
Music Man
(1,664 posts)Or there is some suspect methodology here
Let's hope it's the former
Here is a paper on the poll. Folks smarter than me at this stuff might be able to detail why this poll is so different from most others in NH that have typically showed a 5 to 6 point race: https://rockefeller.dartmouth.edu/sites/rockefeller.prod/files/rockefeller/wysiwyg/the_dartmouth_poll_wave_2_media_release.pdf

(901 posts)But I would imagine it would show the same thing as the Iowa poll. 65+, independents and late deciders all breaking for kamala. Also looks like some GOP crossovers when you compare with the governors race
markodochartaigh
(5,545 posts)It does, maybe 4-6%. If that holds true in other states..........
askyagerz
(901 posts)Only possible way she would be -5 in KS, +3 in IA and +28 in NH.
If these numbers are even half ass close something big shifted in the last 2 weeks or so.
As soon as I saw John Kelley's interview I had a feeling she could take 65+ males and it looks like that might be happening. If it's happening in Iowa it will def happen in bigger states

(5,484 posts)That's the election that eventually got us Citizens United.
lees1975
(7,046 posts)Wow. And Iowa, where Harris leads by 3. Note that these are in-state, locally conducted polls by people who are looking for what the data is telling them. They aren't trying to use the data to fit their narrative.
That is amazing.

carpetbagger
(5,484 posts)And then I saw him on the tarmack at that garbage truck thing. I guess he worked his magic so well (see above poll) there was time to whatever or whatever.

(5,545 posts)Well, that would explain a lot.

(24,207 posts)Trump was up in NH against Biden. This is a massive turnaround.

(266 posts)It was clearly a waste for the Republicans to make a campaign visit there for a lost cause.

(2,216 posts)an atheist, I'm PRAYING to Koresh that it is), it's a full on Blue Tsunami in progress. Fucking AMAZING.
fishwax
(29,346 posts)I hope that this one is right. Another poll came out a day or two ago that had a four point spread.
If this poll is anywhere close to right, and we get an early call on NH on election night, I will be much more relaxed that's for sure.

(25,324 posts)BuzzFeed posted replies from readers
29 republicans share why they switched.
https://www.buzzfeed.com/morgansloss1/republicans-voting-for-kamala-harris-share-why
These are compelling reasons, and it seems that the latest MickeyD, garbage, and mic sucking stunts, perhaps the incoherent gibberish, were enough.
Anything that brings the BIG W (win) is fine.

NJCher
(43,165 posts)It seems to boil down to this:
Trump is a convicted felon who has turned the GOP into a MAGA cult. ( quote from a Republican.) .
Warpy
(114,615 posts)because he's fucked too many people over for too many years and everybody seems to know someone or of someone (usually through his or her family) that he's absolutely destroyed in one way or another.
They don't know him as well in Maine, but they're learning fast.

(15,506 posts)... was such a tourist mecca... for the scenery, not the break of day voting. But I can see that it's in their economic interest to get into the news.

(84,284 posts)would be consistent with the Selzer Iowa poll.
lostnfound
(17,520 posts)If you read the survey it shows the same people responded to another question, who did you vote for in 2020. 59% said Biden, 35% said Trump. So it went from a 24% lead to a 28% lead. A good improvement but not earth shattering.

(10,333 posts)In 2020, there were four votes in the Democratic Primary and one vote in the Republican Primary -- and all votes actually went to Democrats (one person voted for Bloomberg in the Republican Primary).
In 2024, there were six votes in the Republican Primary -- all for Haley.
PS - Did you make predictions this cycle or did you skip on that after what happened last time around?
Polybius
(21,900 posts)So a few people moved since 2020 I'm assuming.
As for predictions, they are coming by 1:30 or so. I'll give you a hint: Senate bad news, Presidency good news. I'm still torn on Ohio Senate. Regarding last time, I didn't do all that awful. While some percentages were off, I only got two wrong in 2022. The misspelling was my biggest error.

(289 posts)That's his base , fundies and low info voters. I really hope Craig kicks Ayottes butt and the legislatures flip.
yellowcanine
(36,792 posts)This has implications for Wisconsion, Michigan, Pennsylvania and also Ohio, Indiana, Florida and Texas, possibly Kansas and Nebraska. I predict that one or more of states outside of the 7 swing states will flip blue. Something organic is happening across the country. I would not be shocked to see her get well over 300 electoral votes.
