A new poll in New Hampshire shows Vice President Kamala Harris is six points ahead of former President Donald Trump in the battleground state.
The survey of more than 2,000 registered New Hampshire voters by Saint Anselm College took place on July 24-25, after Harris secured enough delegate support to become the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
Harris leads Trump 50% to 44% in the poll. A poll taken by Saint Anselm in June after President Biden struggled in the debate showed Trump edging out Biden in New Hampshire by two points.
New Hampshire is 4 seats. Come back when she’s winning Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, Nevada, or North Carolina
And November is a long way away. These articles about polling are ridiculous. Harris isn’t even officially the candidate yet
Yet here you are, complaining that she isn’t ahead in all these swing states yet. So which is it? She hasn’t done enough yet or it’s too soon to tell?
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Remember a week ago when there was “not enough time” to replace Biden? Clearly that was bullshit but no one wants to talk about it.
That’s still accurate now. It would be a 1968 situation all over again if not for everyone agreeing to rally around Harris. Had multiple people stepped forward we’d all be arguing over that at least into September.

I disagree that polls are garbage. If that were the case, Biden would still be running for president. With that being said, ignore the polls and make sure you vote.
I’m not saying polls aren’t useful. I’m saying they’re tortured fabrications of some paper-thin slice of reality that can be moulded into whatever narrative is desired.
Occasionally, they mirror the actual zeitgeist. But more often than not, they’re simply created to push a narrative.
Exit polls are marginally more useful. As always, and the thing polls do not account for: It Depends.
Great. Glad to hear it. But don’t get complacent. Remind yourself that polls can change fast, and polling itself is a troubled science right now because of the difficulties involved in getting a statistically significant and unbiased sample with the advent of universal cellphones.
I came in here for exactly this.
DON’T GET COMPLACENT
Here is how to volunteer for text banking, apparently. I plan to get off Lemmy and do some later today.
The fuckin world could still end in January. Don’t get all complacent.
Yep, and you don’t have to limit yourself to just text banking too. There’s post card writing, canvassing, phone banks, vote registration drives, etc.
Here’s another site people can use to find a bunch of local volunteer opportunities around them
Another thing we need to work on is making sure people are still registered. Some select groups of people are being removed from registration lists.
Supporting Trump is so 2016, get with the times…
