SARAH HOYT’S SHOCKED FACE IS SITTING AT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT SWIM-UP BAR: Harris’ So-Called ‘Surge’ Is Thanks To Oversampling: Pollsters.
“Our numbers are much less rosy than what you’re seeing in the public,” said Future Forward super PAC president Chauncey McLean said during a Monday event hosted by the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
Now, the Washington Times reports that some pollsters are even sounding the alarm over Vice President Kamala Harris’ so-called ‘surge’ in the polls – which Harris pulled ahead in after replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee on July 21.
Since the switch, Harris is leading Trump nationally by nearly 2 percentage points and is either leading or tied with him in all seven battleground states. However, Republican analysts argue that these polling numbers may not accurately reflect voter sentiment due to biased polling methodology.
Polls in 2016 and 2020 underestimated Trump’s support by a few points and, even with today’s news, 2024 Trump is outperforming ’16 & ’20 Trump.
Still, don’t get cocky.
