minus-squareJaysyn@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoThe really weird thing is how the Democrats have been beating those polls nationwide by 9+ points since Roe v. Wade was overturned. It’s almost like the media needs a horse race.

minus-squareMrTomS@lemmy.worldBlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·7 months agoPolls have never been that accurate and they’re getting worse. Romney ahead of Obama in polls I’m not suggesting folks get complacent but I wouldn’t lose sleep over any polls this far out. The fact that Trump has ANY support is worrying though.
