CNN —

Election polls can’t foretell who will win the presidential election. They’re inherently imprecise. They carry the potential for error.

All that being the case, polls this year have found plenty that’s meaningful about how voters think about politics in 2024 – from Americans’ broad-ranging pessimism about the political landscape to the deep divide in values between supporters of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

As a rule, polling provides a snapshot of opinions, rather than a prediction about how people may act in the future – whether that’s how they’ll eventually vote or any other decisions they might make. That’s especially true of this election, with surveys showing no clear leader in the presidential race, either nationally or in the septet of swing states likely to prove decisive to the outcome. And although most surveys suggest a tight race, a more decisive victory for either candidate remains well within the realm of possibility.

“Election polls can’t foretell who will win the presidential election.”

Then why has CNN reported on them so heavily for months. Again.

When CNN starts this kind of hedging and bobbing and weaving it is because they know a major victory by President Trump is on the way.

Or, at a minimum, very likely.

I agree, the last 4 years have told US the polls mean nothing.
November 5, 6 7 8 9 10 11 maybe 12th will tell US and I mean maybe...

sorry to be redundant but i posted this in another thread:

I was at the Jets game last night at MetLife Stadium. In just our half of the parking lot alone there were five “Trump” flags flying high. There was a small “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” chant before the national anthem. I saw two guys, including one in my section with his wife, wearing Trump hats.

I saw zero harris/walz flags, signs, hats.

Also- the last time the Jets played their final home game before election day at night? 1988 and 2004.

I can tell you that win or lose, I plan to leave the US next year. The mere fact that harris has any change at all of winning tells me that we are already lost as a country.

My wife passed away mar 25 and I have few friends or relatives and I need a change. Watching the slow motion destruction of my country is simply not on my to do list anymore.. I am 63 years old and I am done, baring some other emergency.
