Polls are the sugar high and empty calories of politics. And they make for lazy—or, at least, easy—journalism. I’d rather see reporters dig into other stuff. The ties between right-wing extremism and the GOP, the dirty deeds being perpetuated by billionaire-funded super-PACs, the role of dark money and disinformation in this campaign, the how-this-affects-you implications of the candidates’ positions. I bet that if you asked voters and news consumers, a majority would agree. Let’s poll that.

IF u r taking the polls as "gospel".....U r NOT an independent thinker....u r a stats junkie....of course, JMO. Stats can be manipulated by HOW THE QUESTION IS PHRASED.....U FRAME THE QUESTION FOR THE RESPONSE U R LOOKING FOR. (end of story).......think beyond the framing of the question and see how different the answer could be. (elementary my dear Watson)

No one hires inaccurate pollsters. At least not intelligent candidates.

Mother Jones often lets their partisanship cloud their "reporting".

Latest Wall Street Journal poll.

What do you think are the real numbers? 55% for Harris? 43% for Trump?

Those unfavorables for Harris must be deeply disturbing for Democrats. Their "Joy" message America refuses to buy.

She is unqualified and only got her jobs because of who she slept with. Every time America took a look at her, they wouldn't cast a primary vote for her. She couldn't even win presidential primary voting in California. IIRC, she placed 4th and then dropped out before the Iowa caucus.

Why are Democrats losing young male voters?

Think it is sexism? They were willing to support President Obama but not Harris?

Or has the Democrat Party gone too far to the Left? Or do they attack men? Like some of the women on this page?

Nope, she dropped out before the first primary was even held. In CA she was polling at under 1% when she bowed out of the race.

Hemorrhaging male voters would be a bit more accurate than losing them, mostly in the BIPOC community interestingly enough. ;)

Only 63% of African-American women? Wow! Guess abortion isn't as popular as some here believe. Or maybe they think that Trump won't ban abortion if he becomes president again.

Have to think Barack Obama scored much higher with African-American women.

40% of White Women support Trump. Kamala Harris can't even count of the female vote.
Very bad sign.
