How can any poll show Biden pulling away? I know this is a NATIONAL poll and it will really come down to several BATTLEGROUND states I could use some help understanding this poll. Based on results 11/3 some polls should be forced out of business.

Wishful thinking. Like every other poll, this is intended to change opinion rather than reflect it.

It’s all about Party breakdown and assumed turn out models used and of course what ever bias or special sauce the pollsters decide to use.

Nothing has really changed since 2016. Polls are mostly bullshit and we won’t know until after election day which were correct.

It is a national poll, broken out by region and demographics. The election is by Electoral college. Even if the percentages were correct, which I doubt, it matters by state. Large polling in Cali, MA, NY and a few others can really skew the data.

RE: IBD/TIPP Presidential Tracking Poll

I don’t like what I see. IBD/TIPP was one of the most accurate polls in 2016. They actually went against the grain 4 years ago and predicted a Trump victory.

Biden is an empty suit. Nobody will vote for someone who literally is not there. The left is hoping people will turn out to vote against Donald Trump not for Joe Biden. I don’t think it will happen.

The Biden camp believes they are winning big, hence Joe can stay in his basement while they are sending Kamala to Texas.

IBD/TIPP was right in 2016, but that’s not to say they’ll be right again this year. Biden is performing worse than Hillary in mostly all early voting. There is no enthusiasm for Biden, only hatred for Trump.

Biden needs to post Obama-like numbers to have a chance and so far, he’s not even close. Obama had people fainting at his rallies, and had kids singing songs about him. Biden has a few hasbeen celebrities.

The only strength Biden has is corrupt press and social media organizations. I personally don’t believe they have as much power as most people attribute to them, but that’s just my opinion.

Just about every indicator of enthusiasm and activity is on Trump’s side. Hard to ignore evidence and positivity on the ground.

If Biden wins, we’re really out of touch with who and what our country actually is, and I just don’t think that’s the case.

Anyone that Believe Biden is ahead in the South by seven points is delusional.

It seems impossible that a racist, corrupt pedophile too cowardly to leave his basement has a chance to win the presidency. I simply refuse to believe it.

It does look worrisome to me if Biden is “campaigning” in Georgia this week and Harris is in Texas. This means they think they have the battleground states they need and are expanding their leads.

Of course there’s only so many times you can visit PA I guess.

They call themselves most accurate, but in 2016 they had Trump 45, Clinton 43.4 and Johnson 7.6. I believe the actuals were Clinton 48, Trump 46 and Johnson 3. Not that accurate if you ask me.

“The latest presidential poll from IBD/TIPP finds a slightly narrower lead for former Vice President Joe Biden, but further cause to doubt that President Donald Trump can mount a comeback in the race’s last eight days.”

can’t wait to see what IBD has to say about this in two weeks ...
