"SNIP........

Two new Quinnipiac polls of likely voters:

Georgia: Trump 52%, Harris 45%
North Carolina: Harris 49%, Trump 47%

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

1. Polls are all over the place

3. Polls

are doing exactly what corporate media wants them to do. Make the election a horse race and keep us on the edges of our seats. I think we'd be much better off just not paying so much attention to them.

Polls are paid for my the media (funding can come in all forms....like supporting staff at universities to carry them out, or funding graduate students) so their talking heads have something to talk about 24/7. When they run out of news, there are always polls.

Maybe I'm just grumpy......

2. After seeing the early voting numbers in GA

I don’t believe it.

4. Bullcrap on Georgia poll

Early voting says otherwise

[ananda]

16. I know. That GA poll seems very suspect.

Hmmmm

[lees1975]

7. Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

Aside from the fact that it's Quinnipiac. But that has to be an outlier, because even some of the far right skewed polls have Georgia as even, or no more than one point for him.

And this piece is from Taegan Goddard, not always a very reliable source of information.

9. I don't believe it either

Between the huge early voting turnout, and the older Republican men in the diner who despise the lying traitor, I'm not buying it.

5. NC would be huge loss for GOP

[RJ_MacReady]

6. Wow

Quinnipiac has really gone down the shitter huh?

[Wanderlust988]

8. It seems in 2020, Q polls were too friendly to Dems, and now they've over-corrected

I remember Q polls were almost always Dem friendly. This cycle, they nearly always favor Trump and Republicans. I'm not saying they are crooked or anything, but I think they've changed their methodology for sure.

10. Record breaking turnout

first day of early voting bodes well for Democrats.

High turn out, we win.

[Prairie Gates]

15. Maybe

[videohead5]

11. Trump

Is not 7 points ahead in Georgia. This is a horrible poll. I bet that they sampled many more Republicans.

[LW1977]

12. At least there's no annoying contrarian sticking up for the Georgia poll or q in general..

At least not yet.

[Stuckinthebush]

13. No way Trump is up 7 on Harris in GA

He may win GA but it'll be a squeaker.

[Prairie Gates]

14. That GA number is terrible

That's more than the average lead for Trump in Texas!
