I have been warning against national polls for years now, even pre-Lemmy. There are OTHER problems with polling, don’t even get me started on “likely” voters.
But following these polls over time allows you to establish a trend line and right now, it’s trending Trump.
That will change coming out of the Democratic convention, but then the question becomes “is it enough?” 🤷♂️ Guess we’ll find out!

Yeah, polls are crap but relative polling is like their one useful application. On that we agree
