Kamala Harris has taken a five-point lead in a head-to-head matchup with Donald Trump, according to a new nationwide poll.

The Marquette University survey also found that when third party candidates including Robert F. Kennedy and Cornel West are added, Harris has an eight-point advantage.

The shocking results show Harris continues to see a bump in popularity after President Joe Biden announced he wasn't running.

I do not believe she is anywhere near ahead. They need her to be therefore she is.

We are nearing the election and they need to make her ahead or else very close in order to use their cheat and fraud machine on election day...er week and make it believable.

Polls are useless because one can be engineered to get any desired result for either side.

Ballots are what is counted, not voters on election week.

Do preferences change so much from one day to the next?
I think that the pollsters should say in which areas the sample was taken

Another question in the cross tabs....”Who did you vote for in 2020”

Biden 53%
Trump 43%

this poll is oversampling dems by at least 5.5%

Yes it has been a quiet 2 weeks especially since they knew it was happening…

We all know Kamala will collapse once she has to actually face interviews and press and any sort of challenge.. I don’t know if they are laying low until after the convention or what?

No one who loves America can remain neutral nor cast a vote for other than Donald Trump.

“Can a poll be accurate if it disagrees with your personal opinion?”

Can a poll be accurate if you only poll people who agree with your personal opinion?

I need to post this on every poll thread…if it weren’t for knee-jerks, FR would have no jerks at all.

If she wins this, what is the point of the Primary Process, policy platforms and the rest? America has the attention span of a gold fish and bores easily. Wait until Sept, announce who’s running, and then come out guns blazing with happy talk, bs campaign promises, some vapid slogans, and throw in a dumb tik-tok dance. Sure winner!

It’s also 52% female to 45% male respondents

That’s probably a reasonable turnout percentage. Women are more engaged politically than men are. There’s 24 million white working class men in this country who aren’t even registered to vote.

These polls just measure popularity. Who really cares who is more popular?

Are only polls that show your preferred candidate in the lead be accurate? If we all agree polls are worthless, then polls that show Trump in the lead are just as wrong as polls that show Harris in the lead.

Don’t know. I didn’t take that election seriously.

What is the party weight and cross tabs for any of these polls?

Where's that "unskewed polls" guy? You remember him from 2012, right?

He had everyone on this forum convinced that Romney was headed for a landslide victory after he "unskewed" the polls.

Let's go back and look at the history of polling done of registered voters in August in a Presidential year. In how many cases was the poll skewed absurdly in favor of the Democrat? The answer is in just about every election.

These are nothing but push polls.

Sampling registered voters, especially in a year with an unpopular Democrat President in office, skews the poll toward the Democrat candidate.

These kinds of polls have been skewed for decades in favor of the Democrat candidate.
