I think you probably feel pretty good about that USA Today poll but I feel better.
September 3, 2024 (USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll):
Result: Harris led Trump 48% to 43% among likely voters nationally.
November 2, 2024 (USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll):
Result: Harris and Trump were tied in national polling. The poll highlighted a tight race nationally, with Pennsylvania (a key swing state) also tied.
Remember Kamala’s own campaign and internal polling said she never had the lead, not once.
I believe “many” polls are used to influence public perception and not be an accurate gauge of the feedback.
A couple polling experts said Kamala would spike in the 24 polls, this was fake, and then right before the election these same pollsters would call it a dead heat to try and preserve their credibility.
USA Today did exactly that. But it feels so good when you see that headline and article I bet.
