Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump 44% to 42% in US presidential race: survey
God help us all!
[GEO.TV] With the US presidential elections having come closer, Vice President Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut, Joe's intended successor'...
opened up a marginal two-percentage-point lead over Republican Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...

...46th president of the U.S. This Is A Man That Does Not Seem Demented...
ended his re-election campaign and passed the torch to her, a Rooters/Ipsos poll found.

The poll, conducted on Monday and Tuesday, followed both the Republican National Convention where Trump on Thursday formally accepted his party's nomination and the Biden announcement on Sunday he was leaving the race and endorsing Harris.

Harris, whose campaign says she has secured the Democratic nomination, led Trump 44% to 42% in the national poll, a difference within the 3-percentage-point margin of error.
In other words, the difference is probably meaningless. One need look at other polls taken at the same time, and then several polls done over weeks or months to know if this single poll is representative or a fluke.
Harris and Trump were tied at 44% in a July 15-16 poll, and Trump led by one percentage point in a July 1-2 poll, both within the same margin of error.

While nationwide surveys give important signals of American support for political candidates, just a handful of competitive states typically tilt the balance in the US Electoral College, which ultimately decides who wins a presidential election.

The most recent poll results underscored the rationale for Biden dropping out of the race and for Harris replacing him on the ticket.

Some 56% of registered voters agreed with a statement that Harris, 59, was "mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges," compared to 49% who said the same of Trump, 78.

Only 22% of voters assessed Biden that way.

That’s one poll. Real Clear Politics has more here, and most of them have President Trump up slightly.

#4 Que mala will get 400 million votes for the win in November no matter what the "polls" say. Remember Biden's brag about "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics." Remember virtually nothing was done about that last time?

#5 I listen to Rich Baris he points out that there are three of the “polls” that subscribe to the same data set. They weight the data differently and publish different portions of the questions, but it is the same underlying data for those three. The panel for that data set is not very accurate. It will also appear to be different data because of the different weights used. In the end aggregating those three polls is not statistically valid.

#6 Geo TV poll? Is this the same news network founded in 2002 in Pakistan? Why should we believe this poll. Is this like a CNN or MSNBC poll?

#9 Geo TV poll?

GEOtv pulled the article off the Reuters feed, JohnQC. They don’t do original reporting about events a road unless there are Pakistanis involved — they don’t have the staff for such fripperies.
