NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll that Shows Biden Leads Trump by 14 Points Oversampled Democrats (D +8)
Breitbart ^ | October 05 2020 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 10/06/2020 3:18:42 AM PDT by knighthawk

The NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll released on Sunday that shows Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden with a 14 point lead in the national popular vote over President Donald Trump, 53 percent to 39 percent, significantly oversampled Democrats.

The poll of 800 registered voters was conducted between September 30 and October 1 and has a margin of error of 3.46 percent.

Thirty-five percent of poll respondents self-identified as Democrats, while only 27 percent self-identified as Republican, and 32 percent self-identified as Independents, resulting in a survey sample that was Democrat +8, a significantly higher sampling of Democrats than measured in the most recent national Gallup Poll of party affiliation. That poll, (conducted between August 31 and Sept 13), found that 29 percent of Americans self-identified as Republican, 30 percent self-identified as Democrat, and 40 percent self-identified as Independents, resulting in an actual national partisan breakdown of Democrat +1.

Why do polls always shift towards the Republican candidate as the election get nearer? Do Democrats, after months and months of supporting their candidate suddenly switch sides?

That's wat the MSM wants you to believe...but I never have heard them explaing why so many people switch sides at the last minute. Why do the voters do that?

The voters don’t- the democrat pollsters just stop cooking the numbers. They have to get hired again next election, so they have to appear to have some credibility.

And when their numbers are way off (think HilLIARy 99% chance to win) then they put their livelihoods at risk.

I think they are setting up the post election ballot counting with this. This poll is the one they will convince the public of how all the mail ins favored Rats, two weeks after election day.

1) The only poll that matters is the only poll that matters, and this one isn’t it.

2) Hillary was also leading - even when votes started to be counted she was still leading.

3) With the above said, vote like these polls were true!!! Show the World the Silent Majority still exists.

It’s called ENTHUSIASM; we have it - they don’t. Latest Democracy Institute survey shows 83% of Trump supporters are extremely or very enthusiastic to vote. Among Biden voters that number is 49%.

The real breakdown is 40% Republican and a shaky 30% democrat. Republican only need a third of the independents to win. That is why the democrats have to cheat so much.

But democrats are +5.

When independents choose a leaning,
democrats are as much as +12.

...(D+8)...

Not all “D’s” are alike. Were these D+8 folks in the Bronx, or a suburb of Omaha?

Why is anyone still running registered voter polls this close to the election?

We need to stop picking apart the polls. Instead, we should work like we are down and have to push hard through the finish. We need to get out the vote. Period.

Polls don’t work so well lately. The reason is that while everyone is connected there days, we don’t answer the phone and we don’t talk to strangers. Ask around—young, old, in between—no one answers numbers they don’t recognize.

Response on the Internet polls are less accurate.

As the motto of the NE Patriots used to be: “Just do your job.”
