Oh, and here's an article that looks at historical data but reaches a similar conclusion - Harris is doing better than it appears -- (link) - Fuzzy Oct 24, 05:04
Thanks for sharing this, it's an interesting read - Fuzzy Oct 24, 05:02
I’m sure there are plenty bad polls but I’m not sure what the strategy would be to be intentionally bad. - Dano Oct 24, 04:52 3
- Fake polls showing 50 50 makes their obvious move to claim election rigged easier to push when results are 60 40 and alt electors placed -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 24, 10:39
- Polls influence people. People inherently want to vote for winners. It's why bandwagonning is so popular in sports. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 06:55
- Also (1) some people want to vote for the winning side. Having a poll that says a candidate is more likely to win encourages more support. - Roger More Oct 24, 05:34
Is there such a thing as good-faith polling? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 03:57 2
- I suppose it comes down to metrics. How are they getting their numbers and with what questions. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:55
- Yes. Next question? -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 04:39
I'm still traumatized by 16's smug 'lets get this party started...wha?' .... I'll be chain smoking (mentally) through the wee hours of the 6th -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 22:05 3
- Absolutely. There is no smugness in 2024. Not even a little bit. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 00:28 2
  - There’s a little. Eg “how is this so close?” -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 05:35 1
    - That’s incredulity, not the same. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:56
"is far more favorable to Harris than one would think if one is (stupidly?) following these things closely." -- (edited) - David Oct 23, 21:54
