It's narrative-pushing garbage. But no one in the Harris camp is taking anything for granted.

Again probably an outlier but definitely worth something -if nothing else it can confirm a trend if there is one. I think they are virtually identical to the ones released last month so if you throw them into the average they don’t actually impact the narrative at all.

Its indeniable that if you're harris you are feeling good abt:

Michigan
NC
Nevada

that's 273

Harris and team probably less confident abt PA, AZ, and GA. In fact, I don't think GA will factor because they may never count the votes

If your trump, even though ur up, you cannot be thrilled with TX and FL

I am thinking young voter and Latino turnout among other groups. Key is massive voter turnout.

The margin of effort will win the election. We must assume the race is tied or we are a little behind. Keep making calls, keep knocking on doors, etc A few votes per precinct decided 2020 in several swing states.

There is no way 48% of Hispanic voters support Donald Trump, and 17% of Black voters for Trump is a stretch too. You couldn't get a single polling expert to bet even $100 on Trump getting 48% of Hispanic voters in the Sun Belt states.

Throw this poll in the garbage.
