There are three poll types (maybe even more):

-The ones made using scientific methods, those can be proven to be correct or wrong "easily", or at least that they reflect reality.
-The ones paid to pretend someone/something to be "better" than something else. These are clearly fake ones and will try to modify (fool) people's decision in favor of the "contractor". Most online (social media) polls are from this category.
-The ones that don't know what are they sampling. These polls exist just to distract voters from real matters and deviate funds without really trying to present useful information.

That being said, polls don't decide elections, people's votes do.

Kamala's lead in PA has now increased to 1.4%

That's a wrap folks, election is over

If Kamala wins PA everything else falls in line
Trump doesn't even truly excite Trump supporters any more, it's been damn near a decade of his schtick. They're just going through the motions day in and day out...it has become a menial and thankless job for them.

He is low energy now like Jeb, that's the issue

He isn't snappy like he was 8 years ago, he is an old man

Thankfully he seems one of a kind, after he loses this election I think the Republicans will need to do some soul searching

(Also go touch grace sounds like something a Christian would say)

Don't care what the numbers say. Go out and vote as if your vote tips the scale.
>Living in the south, Biden didn't even break 40% in my state

Something tells me the PA bros are gonna have to do the heavy lifting

Opposite but similar situation here. Even if Biden had stayed in the race he would've won Colorado again. I'll be voting for her anyway, but Harris is definitely a lock to win our EC votes.

Pardon my ignorance being a stupid aussie, but how did Colorado become a dem stronghold when its surrounded pretty much by hard red ones like utah, kansas, nebraska, wyoming etc? Just curious, i know Denver makes sense since its a massive city. But i thought Colorado had a bunch of rural bumpkin towns and counties outside of there, which would make the race in theory closer. Kansas and other deep red states have cities with large blue bases as well but they never come close to toppling the GOP in those

In my experience, even right-wing individuals here have more of a libertarian slant to their political beliefs, and as the Republican party drifted more toward authoritarianism, that became a big turn off for our pragmatic populace. Marijuana reform was obviously a big issue here, as we were one of the first states to legalize. Our climate (all four seasons being distinct) and lower cost of living attract a lot of people from the West coastal states. Our cities have also been on the forefront of tech innovation over the decades. So yeah, a combination of contributing factors.

Utah is the Mormon stronghold of the US, Kansas and Nebraska are flat and fairly unattractive, and Wyoming is a mostly empty state with land owned mostly by oil companies.

Right? After he lost and tried to steal the election, I was POSITIVE I'd never have to hear his whining and lies again. Then he just kept on whining and lying for the entire Biden presidency, while getting the attention he craves. Even if he loses this time, we're doomed to hear him complain until the day of his inevitable heart failure.

My advice - don't rely on poll nor stay at home, so if anyone want Kamala Harris win, go to polling centers and cast your ballot in.

Some people said poll looks good and they don't have to vote, so assume Kamala supporters to take care of it.
