NBC is full of crap. Its plus 5

What the heck. Other recent polls showed Demcorats had gained ground.

Just 72 hrs ago the Dems were a safe sweep.

Must be pretty bad for Dems if an NBC poll has Repubs in the lead.

[Roadrunner383]

In a toss-up year, Dems would be ahead by 2%. This due to the heavy Dem lean in higher population states like CA, NY, MA skewing the poll numbers. In 2016 Trump won a clear majority in Electoral Votes but Clinton won the total popular vote by 2%.

I think the Republican number on a generic ballot is probably higher, but this is NBC. Anyway a 2 point Republican lead is about a 4 point swing and it’s good news for Republicans.

The margin of error is 3.1%.

[Sam Gamgee]

That is part of the trick as they plan to steal this election (s) too.

Yes. The Rasmussen poll released last Friday has Republicans up by 5: 46 to Democrats 41 (likely voters)
