Battleground Polls: Donald Trump Has Edge in Close Race for White House
Breitbart ^ | 08/29/2024 | Nick Gilbertson

Posted on 08/29/2024 10:41:22 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump has the edge over Vice President Kamala Harris in a close race for the White House, according to a pair of polls published Thursday.

Harris has a more challenging road to the White House than Trump when considering the polls–one from Emerson College/Nexstar Media and another from Fabrizio Ward & Associates– and deeper themes stirring both nationally and in the individual states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. For instance, one essential theme to consider is Trump regularly outperforms the polls:

In the post-Democratic National Convention (DNC) August 25-28 Emerson College poll, Trump has a 50 percent to 47 percent lead over Harris in Arizona, with another two percent of respondents undecided. Emerson sampled 720 likely voters in the state, and the credibility interval is ± 3.6 percentage points.

Georgia shows a neck-and-neck race, with Harris having a one-point edge. She takes 49 percent to Trump’s 48 percent, with 3 percent undecided. However, momentum on the ground in Georgia appears to be in Trump’s favor, especially as Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), who is extremely popular with his constituents, is putting his “political machine” behind the 45th president:

37 percent of 2020 voters were Republicans. That USA Today Suffolk poll had it at 33.5 iirc.

I wish our elections were run like in India, which is worlds largest democracy, give times more voters than United States. Voters in India can not vote without the voter ID with photo issued by central government. That makes impossible for non-citizens to vote.

The pollsters will use recent elections for all sorts of parameters. But that article lays out 2024 reality.

"The error is not the sample. It is the pollster. He says he expects 53/47 split of females and males. Then he makes phone calls and tosses out calls that were males until the total mix is 53/47. If he was wrong about 53/47, then the results will be wrong."

Just so I know which pollster you are libeling in your post, which pollster in this article are you accusing of what you asserted: Emerson College/Nexstar Media or Fabrizio Ward & Associates?

Either Hillary is a lot smarter than Kamala, or the latter is pretending to be stupid. Dems are delusional.

AN UTTER CASE OF VCORRUPTION

The Easiest Criminal Case to Prosecute in History: Mark Zuckerberg Just Confessed in Writing, and Implicated Entire US Government & Biden Administration in Conspiracy to Commit Election Interference, Extortion, Treason, Mass Murder & Crimes Against Humanity

adminAugust 28, 2024

By Wayne Allyn Root

I have a life and death question for red state AGs (Aand DAs. The most important question in modern history…

What the hell are you waiting for?

Because we just uncovered the greatest conspiracy to betray the citizens of America and commit treason since Benedict Arnold.
But this time we can add mass murder and crimes against humanity. And the confession is in writing, for all the world to see. This massive criminal case is gift wrapped with a bow on top.

So, what are you waiting for?

Mark Zuckerberg just confessed, in writing, in front of the whole world, to terrible crimes against America, the US Constitution and the American people- all because he was forced, extorted (and I’m guessing bribed, blackmailed or threatened too) by the US government and the highest officials of the Biden administration.

Just days ago, I made the case for red state AGs and DAs to go after “low hanging fruit” and indict Kamala and Tim Walz. The precedent has been set by New York AG Leticia James and NYC DA Alvin Bragg. A red state AG or DA can file any criminal case they want- even in the middle of a presidential election. If they think crimes have been committed, it’s their duty to indict and prosecute.

It’s easy to go after Kamala Harris for her role as border czar. Indict her for fraud, malfeasance, dereliction of duty, and treason. How many American have been murdered and raped, or died from fentanyl overdoses, because of her dereliction of duty?

Red state AGs and DAs- What are you waiting for? Indict Kamala Harris.

And of course, Tim Walz is the biggest fraud and conman in the history of politics. He’s guilty of “Stolen Valor” (lying about his rank and military service), not to mention lying about his wife using IVF to get pregnant (it never happened). And so many other lies I’ve lost count.

Red state AGs and DAs- What are you waiting for? Indict Tim Walz.

But those are no longer the “low hanging fruit.” We have a much bigger criminal case. It’s the world’s easiest case to prosecute. The star witness is one of the richest and famous men in the world- Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Meta.

And he just confessed, in writing, in front of the entire world, to terrible crimes against the American people.

But that’s only a small start. Zuckerberg implicated the entire US government, and top officials of the Biden administration. These government gangsters bullied, intimidated, threatened (and no doubt bribed or blackmailed) Zuckerberg and his staff to commit these terrible crimes against the American people.

These are the highest crimes- including election interference, mass murder, crimes against humanity and TREASON.

Zuckerberg is a witness to all of it. The government and top officials of the Biden administration intimidated Zuckerberg and his staff into rigging and fixing the 2020 election- by covering up the Hunter Biden laptop. This allowed Democrats to steal a presidential election from President Trump.

How many trillions of dollars changed hands in the form of government spending and government contracts because the election was rigged and stolen?

But then it gets worse. Zuckerberg admits the government and top Biden officials forced him to censor, silence and ban the truth about the lack of safety and effectiveness of the Covid vaccines, and cover-up the mounting deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines…

And to hide the truth about Ivermectin, the one drug that was actually “safe and effective” for use against Covid 19. Hundreds of studies prove it could have saved millions of lives- with literally no side effects. But few Americans heard about it, because Zuckerberg hid the truth- upon order of this administration.

How many Americans died as a result?

That’s called mass murder and crimes against humanity. Not to mention the loss of trillions of dollars.

It’s time for modern day Nuremberg trials.

The case is so easy to prosecute. Just offer Zuckerberg full immunity to testify to the crimes and the names involved. Then offer each of them immunity for the names of their bosses. Then offer immunity to each of the bosses for the names of who gave the ultimate orders to rig and fix the election…and to condemn millions of Americans to death and injury, all in the name of greed.

Trillions of dollars were made as a result of election interference, and from vaccine sales and stock profits by Big Pharma and all their conspirators in the US government and Biden administration.

All roads lead to Biden, Kamala, Dr Fauci and the top officials of the FBI, DOJ, CIA, CDC, FDA, HHS and NIH. Everyone got rich and Americans died.

Here is the sum up of these developments…

*If this was Trump, he’d already be in prison for life, or given the death penalty. We all know that.

*Why did Zuckerberg suddenly confess? Because he knows how to read the tea leaves- Trump is about to win a landslide victory. Zuckerberg is trying to save his own hide from a prison cell.

*Do you believe Biden and our government did this only to Zuckerberg? This is the tip of the iceberg. They extorted, threatened and bribed every CEO of every media and social media company.

*This is the perfect criminal conspiracy case. If no red state AG or DA prosecutes them, then we know the entire system is rigged. They’re all either complicit, bribed, blackmailed, or cowards.

*Finally, if we can’t get indictments, then this becomes the largest class action lawsuit in world history. Class action lawyers are salivating. There are trillions to be made from suing the federal government, every Biden-Harris official involved, Zuckerberg, and every billionaire CEO of any media and social media company who censored, silenced, banned and covered-up facts that resulted in a stolen election, and death and injury to millions of American citizens.

Polls are still crazy. I would wait at least a couple of weeks. Kasich was leading Trump at the start of the 2016 primary because voters didn’t know much about him.

I’m convinced about 50% of the voters in the US are
certifiably unable to fend for themselves in daily life.

It’s not libel at all. This is what turnout models are. For all pollsters.

How is this hard for ppl to grasp. You don’t make 1000 phone calls and add them up. That’s not how polling is done.

Sampling theory says you can characterize the entire production run of 1 million bolts by sampling 1000 of them. This is standard procedure.

But it only works if the sample of 1000 votes is representative of the total number of bolts. You might have changed materials . . . or even design . . . half way through a production run. So your 1000 samples may not be, can not be, representative of the total run.

That’s why there are turnout models. You need to make an effort to ensure your phone calls are getting respondents who are representative of the electorate total. That effort is a turnout model.

If you change it because you decide, as a pollster, that a woman candidate will bring more blacks to vote, or more women to vote, then you adjust your turnout model.

But you have no idea if that adjustment, or the original, was correct. It’s just your effort to be representative.

Many people are assuming that Trump will outperform his polls to the same extent as his previous races. If he does, then this race is over. I wonder if the pollsters have made some adjustments to correct the past errors.

Well, this is showing that Harris has the momentum as she is performing much better against Trump then Biden was. States that had looked like they were going to be wins for Trump are now toss ups.

Glad to finally see there is a benefit to working the early voting angle. In 2020 Trump said 400 times not to vote early but on Election Day. Not too smart.
