What worse is it a “registered voter” poll so it skewed to favor Dems. Dems have a higher total voter registration number so “register voter polls” over sample Dems.

That is why real polling uses “likely voter” samples

There is no constant definition of “likely voter”.

Different pollsters use different definitions:

Did you vote in the last presidential election?

Did you vote in the presidential election prior to that one?

How many such have you voted in?

How would you describe the likelihood you will vote in this year’s election — maybe so, probably so, completely certain

Have you moved recently and did you change your voting address to your current address?

Different pollsters use different definitions so there is nothing sacred about “likely voter”. And of course note that a voter recently turning voting age will fail most of those criteria above.

Trump still has 3 among RV’s. Harris has gotten not stop boosting by MSM since the switch so Trump keeping a lead at all is good.

Actually it has been the opposite this year.
