You just need to be smart enough to provide the right context.

Harris's numbers are based on being ignored by the press and not having one blessed day to actually campaign.

Give her time and attention and you'll see those numbers change.

Quit blaming the media for delivering unhappy news. Shooting the messenger is an act of fear. We're running a campaign of confidence and hope.

I still think it's a 50/50 election... WarGamer Jul 2024 #14

And it means nothing, except MAYBE that it will be CLOSE election. People really need to stop handwringing over polls. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #20

Polling is all we've got and in this past it HAS been useful to judge trends and in the aggregate form... WarGamer Jul 2024 #21

It's primarily what drove Biden out Arazi Jul 2024 #24

Anything that happened before Biden's announcement is mostly irrelevant now. TwilightZone Jul 2024 #5

I think this has changed the race in ways that are totally unpredictable crud Jul 2024 #9

Said it when Joe was running, am saying it again. Polls mean nothing, and it will be CLOSE no matter what. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #19

It takes at least a week for polls to react to singular events...nt Wounded Bear Jul 2024 #22

It was all hypothetical so while Biden was the nominee people aren't really going to answer and different when Takket Jul 2024 #25
