"SNIP.............

A new Marist poll finds Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump by five points among likely voters, 52% to 47%.

The race gets closer, however, among registered voters nationally. Here, three points separate the two candidates.

The latest TIPP tracking poll also shows Harris growing her lead to 50% to 46%.

1. Reminder: Biden was polling up to 10 pts ahead of Trump in 2020

And ended up winning the popular vote by 4.5%

The trends are good, but let’s not get too fixated on specific numbers.

The fact is, polling is broken, which means nobody really knows the current state of the race

Here are verifiable facts to focus on in the face of polling uncertainty:

Harris has a superior ground game in the swing states

Early voting numbers are looking good

With her relentless criticism of Trump as “weak and unstable”, Harris has forced the media to finally cover Trump’s cognitive decline.
