As we get closer to the election the more ridiculous these polls will become.
What a joke.
Of the 1,634 people polled, 387 are not even registered voters!
So, of the 1,247 who are actually registered, how many of them are LIKELY voters?
If Yahoo News/YouGov poll announced a giant dinosaur was walking around Central Park, there would be many people that would take the story seriously, because, the news would never lie would they?
I know nothing about this poll but at this point it doesn’t really matter, does it. Just something to keep us all worked up.
Biden couldn’t get elected dog catcher
“10,000 million.” One “vote” for each job he’s created.
81,000,000 Americans want more death, destruction and thievery.
Will be easy peasy. While Trump has daily record breaking rallies, Bidung can just take a lid in the basement
“The same poll taken in March showed that 47 percent of registered voters preferred Biden over the 39 percent who favored Trump – an 8 percent margin.”
LOL TOTAL BS been seeing the exact OPPOSITE everywhere else
Half the country wants full Communism, they love the crime, love the inflation, love watching hobos shoot up on street corners
This is impossible.
In a world that made any kind of sense, that is.
We are supposed to believe that a populace that is under constant, daily assault economically, socially, politically and spiritually is begging for more of it.
I don't know why, but I can't help being surprised people are being so easily led down the same murderous, destructive path they've been led down so many times in the past.
Biden and the Ukrainians are invincible in the Daily Mail.
Like last time, Pedo Joe doesn’t even need to show up. Magic ballots appear magically at 3 o’clock in the morning, Wednesday, November 9, in just the right numbers to declare a statistically feasible victory.
“Yahoo News/YouGov poll”
Yeah, that’s a real keeper.
Richard Baris, who has the best record of any pollster, has Trump up by 7 in Pennsylvania this week. So he will win PA by a landslide and lose states like Texas and Florida to the imposter? I doubt it.
I swear, seeing the people here doom about everything the press makes up, is a cross between amusing and infuriating.

SPAKOVSKY: The Federal Gov’s Bungled Census Is Bad News For Red States. Here’s Why
OPINIONUS Census Suspends Field Work During Coronavirus Outbreak
SAN ANSELMO, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 19: The U.S. Census logo appears on census materials received in the mail with an invitation to fill out census information online on March 19, 2020 in San Anselmo, California. The U.S. Census Bureau announced that it has suspended census field operations for the next two weeks over concerns of the census workers and their public interactions amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled.
Why? Because according to a post-2020 census survey, the U.S. Census Bureau significantly undercounted the population of Florida, as well as Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. At the same time, it overcounted the population of eight states, all but one of which is a blue state. (RELATED: ORTIZ: Here’s One Economic Story Nobody In The White House Wants To Talk About)
The 2020 errors were discovered when the Census Bureau interviewed a large number of households across the country and compared the answers it got to the original census responses in 2020. In addition to undercounting six states, the survey showed that the Bureau overcounted the population of Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island and Utah.
Funny coincidence – the Census made its largest overcount percentage error in President Joe Biden’s tiny home state of Delaware, which was overcounted by 5.45%. But Rhode Island and Minnesota were also overcounted by 5.05% and 3.84%, respectively, which allowed each of them to keep a congressional seat to which they are not entitled.
Minnesota, according to the original census report, would have lost a congressional seat during reapportionment if it had 26 fewer residents; the survey shows the state was overcounted by 216,971 individuals. Similarly, Rhode Island would have lost a seat if the Census Bureau had counted 19,000 fewer residents. It turns out that the state was overcounted by more than 55,000 individuals.
So both states will continue to have more representation in Congress, and more votes in the Electoral College, than they should. The same is true of Colorado, which was awarded a new congressional seat that it should not have gotten.
Contrast that with Texas, which the Census Bureau survey says was undercounted by almost 2%. That represents over a half a million Texans, which means that, like Florida, Texas was cheated out of an additional member of Congress. At that time, the Census Bureau said that Texas needed only 189,000 more people to gain another congressional seat. Turns out Texas already had them.
Arkansas had the largest percentage undercount at 5.04%, which represented over 150,000 residents of the state.
These errors by the Census Bureau also mean that the overcounted states will be receiving a larger share of the over $1.5 trillion in federal funds that are distributed to the states over the next decade based on their states’ populations. And the undercounted states? They will be getting less funding than they should.
There is no remedy in the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment to correct this problem. The scope of this problem was unusually high, and the Census Bureau has not offered any explanation as to how this happened.
By way of comparison, the survey the Census Bureau conducted after the 2010 census showed a statistically insignificant error rate of only 0.01%, which means the Bureau only missed counting 36,000 Americans. Quite a startling difference from the 2020 census.
Even if the states most affected could win a case in court, how would you come up with a remedy? Ordering the Census Bureau to conduct another actual recount in the 14 affected states would be a complex, expensive undertaking that would provide numbers on a different date than the original census whose population totals from April 1, 2020, would still be in effect for the rest of the states, raising fundamental fairness issues given the high mobility of our population. And ordering a new census of the entire nation also seems impractical.
But there is no question Congress needs to get to the bottom of what happened. It must use its oversight authority to investigate the Census Bureau, its methods, procedures and operations to determine how and why these errors happened. We have to ensure that the necessary changes are made that won’t allow this to happen again.
