Biden Gains Ground Against Trump in Six Key States, Poll Shows
www.bnnbloomberg.ca

... President Joe Biden has gained ground against Republican Donald Trump in six of seven key swing states, and significantly so in at least two of them. The results make for the Democrat's strongest position yet in a monthly Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll.

The move in the president's direction comes after five months of mostly consistent Trump leads, and follows a State of the Union address that rallied Democrats and seemed to mitigate concerns about Biden's age.

The shift was significant in Wisconsin, where Biden leads Trump by one point after trailing him by four points in February, and in Pennsylvania, where the candidates are tied after Trump held a six-point lead last month. They are also tied in Michigan.

It's too soon to know whether the improved showing is a one-time bump or the beginning of a more durable change in the race, and Biden continues to lag the presumptive GOP nominee in four crucial states. ...



Yeah, a bump in the polls, or more of a long term trend?

Time will tell.

Anyone who thinks he will shake it up for the better is a moron.

Period.

Full stop.

His first four years resulted in a million dead bodies and people wiping their asses with coffee filters.

The only thing he will do in another term is more blatantly rip off the taxpayers.

I don't know what they put in your currywurst, pal, but hopefully the next batch is pure fentanyl.

Oh no, another red wave, another #WalkAway movement. Democrats are hoping the GOP are just as successful with this false narrative as they've been with it the past few election cycles.

One thing to keep in mind with, from what I've seen, nearly all the polls at this point is...

The results being touted are within the margin of error.

Stated differently, the results may vary.

From the article I posted in #1...

... The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll surveyed 4,932 registered voters in seven swing states: 796 registered voters in Arizona, 788 in Georgia, 698 in Michigan, 447 in Nevada, 699 in North Carolina, 807 in Pennsylvania and 697 in Wisconsin. The surveys were conducted online beginning March 8, and concluded March 14 in Arizona and Wisconsin, March 15 in Nevada, and March 12 in the remaining states.

The aggregated data across the seven swing states were weighted to approximate a target sample of swing-state registered voters based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, home ownership, 2020 presidential vote and state. State-level data were weighted to approximate a target sample of registered voters in the respective state based on gender, age, race/ethnicity, marital status, home ownership, and 2020 presidential vote.

The margin of error is plus or minus 1 percentage point across the seven states; 3 percentage points in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania; 4 percentage points in Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, and 5 percentage points in Nevada. ...


From my experience in market research, that is an excellent description of the poll.

Notice the margins of error in that last paragraph.

Also notice the frame of the poll, "... surveyed 4,932 registered voters in seven swing states ..."

This far out from Election Day, the frame of the polling tends to be "registered voters." As we get closer to Election Day, you'll start seeing the frame as being "likely voters."


So there is that also.

(Apologies for dumping marketing research terminology on y'all....)

In times I am more irritated at the democrats - their corporatism, indistinguishable foreign policy from neocon republicans, failures to bring real change like single payer, or their seeming embrace of identity politics over far more substantive class issues, I absolutely consider voting Trump.

I don't know where they came up with "shake up for the better" though.

Maybe I'm just realistic about the effects. I'd call it accelerationism.

I try extremely hard not to get that angry over politics though.

Ugh I can't believe we got 8 more months of this s^%* along with every stupid poll breathlessly presenting the latest fake horse race.

When Biden trailed Trump in national polls last month, it meant that his reelection campaign was doomed. But now that Biden is leading Trump in national polls, it doesn't really mean anything given how far away the election is.
