“Approve of” and “will vote for” are hardly ever the same in any polls I have seen.
I may “approve of” a girl but that doesn't always translate to I want to marry her.
Polling is never an exact science as we found out in 2016 and 1948 and Brexit etc.
Are 27% of blacks voting for Trump even though this poll says 27% of blacks approve of Trump?
Nope.
To: FLT-bird
4% of voters want to toss out a guy they approve of for.......Biden? Seriously?
That likely reflects the suburban Karen "oh, maybe if we remove Trump the rioters will go away and no one will think I'm a racist anymore" vote.

Didn’t Rasmussen have Biden up around 14 points less than a couple of weeks ago? Hopefully this is the last year for polling mania. It’s ridiculous.

Yes all the “Special Sauce” factors will be dropped starting on Wednesday to get a more accurate turnout model for Election Day...
The 12-16 point leads for Sleepy will drop to around 3%...gotta keep Joe in the lead or risk many DIMS not showing up next week...
Keep hope alive...

I don’t know anyone who is actually in favor of Biden. They just hate Trump. They won’t vote. Based on my two millennial kids, I agree. They won't vote at all, and claim their friends aren't either. At least they aren't going Biden...they hate him.
However, their older sister and her son - my grandson - are both voting Trump. Maybe common sense just skipped one generation.

Look, just a few weeks ago, Trump was down 12% to Biden in the Rasmussen poll and you thought Rasmussen was great, no?
Personally, I think it had to do with Trump going down with covid and then not campaigning for 10 solid days. Once he recovered swiftly and started campaigning his numbers with Rasmussen started going up.
Looking forward to this Sunday Express/Democracy Institute poll in a few days time.
To: Hojczyk
Just my gut feeling- Election day voting will be Trump 57-42.

12.
But then Trump was down with covid then and off the campaign trail.

I do not remember a single presidential election going back to at least 1976 when the polls didn’t “tighten” in the Republican’s favor the week before election day.

I love the Trump coalition. We need to continue building it. Many black Americans are conservative but have never had a reason to vote for a Republican. Trump is the reason.
Sorry to say, but Pence would *never* bring together this kind of coalition. He’s fine on the current ticket though.
The next R candidate needs to be Trump Jr, or Rand Paul, or Kristi Noem, or some combination thereof.

I think the 84% of GOP voters sticking with Trump seems a bit low.

That is sheer nonsense!!!!!!

I wonder what the total would be if we omitted some 15 states, where there is no path to victory, such as NY, NJ, WA, CA.
To: CatOwner
84% won’t be enough to win.

You think LESS than 84% of GOP voters are sticking with Trump? I don’t. Trump received 88% of GOP voters in 2016, according to exit polls. I don’t see that number dropping, certainly to less than 84%.

As Rush correctly says, “polling is meant to drive public opinion not reflect it.” True now more than ever.

IBD/TIPP changed their polling methodology... traditional polling is dead anyway....

84% won’t be enough to win. Agreed, unless Biden getting only 77% of the DEM vote is true. Hillary received 89% of the DEM vote in 2016, while Trump received 88% of the GOP vote. My guess is Biden will top out in the low 80s and under-perform Hillary. I think Trump will hit the 88% mark from 2016.
