Looks like Harris has dropped 4 points in just the last 3 days... Stock market volatility combined with the awful selection of Timmy "Tampon" Walz has Harris dropping big time even in heavy DEM+ favored polls.
Yeah, not so much what the polling aggregates are showing. Harris' lead has nominally increased over the last three days but broadly the race is still basically a toss-up.
I dont think you know how polling works.
90% of the polling you are seeing is from late July. Go to RCP they have the dates.
LOLOL
Yeah, no. That's not "how polling works."
The reason why Harris' chances continue improving in the model is that she's polling better day by day, not worse. If she was consistently polling worse in the model samples over the last three days relative to the three weeks prior, her chances would have gone down in the daily model updates over the last three days, not maintained or gone up.
Plus you're referencing a single poll which is much more subject to polling error, noise, etc. than aggregating is.
Go to Nate Silver's site and come back and re-explain "how polling works."
She may still falter. She very well may lose; it's a toss-up. But the trend the last three days is not distinctly down for her.
