Firstly, it is quite daunting to sift through the full page at ActiVote explaining how the results were established.
Secondly, using a link on their site to get to AtlasIntel doesn't help unless the reader/viewer is some sort of specialist in this. Frankly, I felt like that AtlasIntel site was more interested in forcing my hand at doing a download, rather than ActiVote placing me on a page that helped summarized that site's results.
Then we see this at ActiVote:
______ which seems in some sort of conflict with this:
Most political polls for the 2024 presidential election saw a close race in the electoral college, and a resounding popular-vote victory for Democrat Kamala Harris. Trump won the electoral college 312 to 226, and the popular vote by more than three million votes. We asked polling and survey...

That above from UCR was a result of my entering the following into a Google search engine:
<
which presidential poll in 2024 was correct >
And what resulted on Page One looked really weird.
But I scrolled down to this one
after that UCR view; changed browsers to suit Yahoo's heavy advert loads;
finally managed to get some of this:
Polls are almost always at least a bit off. Some of that is due to imperfect assumptions about what the likely voter electorate will look like. Some of that is due to statistical error. The 2024 presidential election was no different.

And that vocabulary usage in that first part of that article appears to have been written by a presidential candidate's PR Director; what a bunch of crap

My summary after about an hour of chasing rat shit around the Net is somebody is trying to feed bovine excrement to somebody else, but I can't even figure out who the 'Somebodies' are.
Over here in Japan we were basically getting from the polls that we were shown in various media formats, that Harris was going to kick Trump's butt.
Now we are suddenly seeing how all these poll making folks were right all along, or close to right, or - - - Yeah-Yeah-Yeah - - - setting us up for the next round of bullshit, eh

I am happy about one thing and which makes this whole effort not exactly a waste of an hour of my time; there are way too many people in that business of polling and that means believing all that shit is just plain shit

And, yes, to those that might be surprised at my actually using profanity, this whole polling stuff is what I thought before I started this bullshit - - - it is all a bunch of garbage
!!!!!
Anyway, yesterday I received permission directly from a Community Moderator and CNN to use profanity. So here I did. Wonder who CNN used for their polling? Did CNN state that the election was going to be an even-even result?
