Harris Up +3 In Georgia In New Fox News Polling


The numbers from polls taken September 20-24 in Georgia and Arizona have just been released by Fox News. Harris is up by 3 in Georgia and down by 3 in Arizona. This is significant because while Harris has been gaining in Georgia this is the first major poll that has her in the lead. Both are within the margin of error.

Never trust polls, they only survey an average of 1,500 people in any one area, not exactly accurate.

@NativePortlander1970 Which means that Trump is actually winning, right? Or will you start trusting the polls if they suddenly show Trump winning nationally?
@SW-User Nope, look at what happened in 2016 and in 2022, the polls were way off in both cases

@NativePortlander1970 Yes, because they underestimated the Republican vote in 2016, and the Democrat vote in 2022. Now, they've got it nailed down pretty well.

It's not looking good for Trump.
@SW-User And that's why polls are not to be trusted.

Why? Because it's not looking good for Trump? 🤭

Also, we can throw in Professor Lichtmann's prediction of a Harris victory as well, if you like. He's got every election right since 1984 (except for 2000)

As well as Nate Silver's. He's gone from claiming Trump has it in the bag, to:

The forecast is still in toss-up range, but we’re getting to the point where we’d say we’d rather have Harris’ hand to play.”

@NativePortlander1970 When a candidate sees that they are slipping in public polls they send their own staff in to try to find out if it is correct or not. It helps them to plan strategy and allocate funds. They are not worthless.
