Iowa Poll: Kamala Harris leapfrogs Donald Trump to take lead near Election Day

See my post #45.
Again, it doesn't matter how good you are. Pollsters use a 95% confidence level which means even if everything is done perfectly, you still have a 1 in 20 chance that your prediction is bad.

The only way around this is to spend a ton of extra money to survey a much greater sample to raise your confidence level.
 
That’s right. The much revered Des Moines Register of the deep red state of Iowa places Harris ahead of Traitor Trump.
  • Democrat Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump in Iowa 47% to 44%, a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows.
  • A victory for Harris would be a shocking development after Iowa has swung aggressively to the right in recent elections, delivering Trump solid victories in 2016 and 2020.
  • The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris.
  • Trump continues to lead with his core base of support: men, evangelicals, rural residents and those without a college degree.

A sign of what we’ll see on Tuesday?
IMO... yes.

 
Something is in the wind. I personally know of a couple of people who broke away from Trump at the last minute to vote for Harris. In addition my mother-in-law used to be for Trump and now isn't. Most days she goes to play games at what is basically an old folks facility. Most are women. She says that all of the old folks have turned against Trump in mass. She said a few had broken away before but now it's become an avalanche and they are becoming more and more outspoken against him.
I live in a small town in Indiana that is heavily Republican. All of a sudden I'm seeing more and more Harris signs. There used to be a lot more Trump signs but now its about even.
Why on earth would any woman give their precious vote for a PIG who once bragged that “if you’re famous you can do anything you want” including grabbing a woman by her genitalia then, in effect, RAPING a woman??

The Des Moines Register poll has a +/- 3.4 percentage point margin of error, and has accurately predicted the state’s winner 4 out of the 5 last presidential races.

Traitor Trump might still win Iowa. I’m not asserting that he will or won’t.

Only the remarkableness of the final poll.

Theoretically, it wouldn’t make any difference.

I posted earlier that Harris is up 3 in Michigan and 2 in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as well so as ahead 5 nationally according to a recent Marist poll.
While I don’t particularly trust polls any more I’d rather be ahead than behind.
 
He so unsubtle I sum up his female outreach as:

"Why won't you bitches vote for me?"​
Harris hasn’t bothered to campaign for at-risk House members out your way.
CO, NM, AZ, NV, CA, OR, WA, and AK will determine who wins the House.
Not a smooth move, but I feel safer saying it today.
I’ll hold off on other more damning critiques until late 11/5.

In 16 many who were polled, stated they were voting D, yet were voting for Trump
Possible we are seeing the opposite is now occurring
Same with those who voted for Trump in 16/20 are telling friends & family they support Trump, while in the booth, they vote Dem

If Trump loses, I do expect violence
If Rs hold the House and if Johnson causes problems with election certification, that would be fast-tracked to SCOTUS
Last time the US was close to a coup
 
This will be one of my sources for voting totals.
Here’s Iowa:
How far state DEMs have fallen, not even challenging Sen. Ernst.
I’m sure you remember how Rep. Braley pissed away his Senate election against her in 2012.

The "difference it would make" is in having a prediction that you feel more confident is correct. In all likelihood, this is an outlier poll, but we won't know until the results are in.

She's helping them out with money.

Two points;
1. The Des Moines Register poll is not an outlier.

2. I haven’t felt comfortable about any presidential election since W’s second term.

I’m very sincerely hoping for a Harris win, but am not under any illusions that another Traitor Trump administration isn’t possible.
 
Thanks. What’s Emerson’s track record in Iowa?

The Des Moines Register has gotten 4 of the last 5 presidential elections right.
To be clear, I'm not attacking The Des Moines Register as a source. It just doesn't look good when you consider that poll as one data point. Likewise I'm not saying the Emerson poll is better, just recent enough that we could also expect it to show some kind of shift in Harris's favor. The fact that the Emerson poll actually shows Trump gaining ground since Harris entered the race isn't a good sign. Granted, there haven't been a whole lot of polls in Iowa, but I would like some kind of confirmation for something so unexpected.
 
Yeah, I remember Bruce Braley. He couldn’t stop offending people with his big mouth. And old farmer Chuck, the lackey who the congressional governmental overthrow artists were going to use in place of Pence, is still around

Ernst, who I refer to as Mitch McConnell’s lap dog since she’s always at his side when he’s talking to the press in Washington, should have never gotten any traction to be a U.S. Senator, either. Dark money was her middle name. Now we’re stuck with her.

You don't know that. Mathematically, you can't possibly know that. I've explained this ad nauseam.

2. I haven’t felt comfortable about any presidential election since W’s second term.

Finally down to the last few days.

there are some MAGA women on this very site that would allow trump to "grab" them in their parts.
