Yeah Trump over performed quite a bit in 2020 vs polls and 2020 had Biden with a blowout basically all year. Biden is consistently down now and I wouldn’t be so fast to just hand waive the polls away.

There was a report that essentially showed a large portion of the electorate is in denial about trump being the nominee and how that is affecting a lot of polling. So maybe we wait for trump to be the official nominee

I think once the primaries are over is probably a practical time to start treating the polls as "real". Not in the sense that they will suddenly become immune to all of the problems that plague polling, but at least at that point when a responder is asked "Biden or Trump?" they aren't hearing "Biden or <some Republican we don't know yet it's probably not going to be Trump so put whoever you want here instead of Trump>?". The ambiguity in the primary is helping Trump hide his disapproval among independent/swing voters right now, so it isn't a terrible hypothesis that his numbers look better now than they will after every other GOP option is extinguished. I believe there were Biden/Trump match-up polls that dropped precipitously for Trump after DeSantis dropped out, which (if that's the case) would support the hypothesis.

There are, very likely, some very difficult challenges in polling this early in the election with an electorate that is this partisan, even intra-partisan within a party. And every election since 2020 has shown weakness in the GOP's position rather than strength. But I get more than a little motivated-reasoning-vibe from the immediate dismissal of polls when they look good for Trump, particularly when I don't see the same being applied to polls that look good for Biden.

There are a lot of bullshit pollsters that sprung up in 2022. GOP Operatives smartly realized that most people were looking to aggregator sites like 538 and RealClearPolitics so they started spewing out shoddy polls that they could use to build a narrative off of. It's one of the many reasons that the ~red wave~ of the midterms turned out to be a wet fart.

Doing it legit and non-maliciously is also hard and only getting harder as others have pointed out. You end up in positions where you have to weight low response groups super heavily and have nothing to really base if off of, which is how you get stuff like 30% of zoomers like your favorite president (TRUMP!!!). If it cut both ways right now I'd say so but its a lot of practical and partisan challenges all tipping it one direction.

As for how off they are, we won't know until after elections happen and the only way to calibrate them is to look at how off the last cycle was.

The polls are also heavily juiced to make it look like a close election because the media has to run with a “down to the wire” narrative to keep viewers/readers engaged and to keep the campaigns buying advertising. It’s a grift.

Thank you, I was looking for the words for this; Trump's sham is particularly dependent on this and the appearances of success afforded by our two-party system's "all or nothing" gambit. He also has a uhhhh curious amount of (paid) posting labor that comes from "cheap, affordable" places like Kenya, SE Asia, and Eastern Europe.

You will often times see pro-Trump comments sections flooded in majority by not only fake accounts farms, but also people who do not live in the United States. This is because they are paid mechanical-turk sums to zerg rush them.

I remember this being the mantra for McCain supporters in 2008, for Romney supporters in 2012, and for Hillary supporters in 2016. There are a thousand takes dismissing polling that appear when the polls look bad for our candidate, that evaporate when polls look good for our candidate.

Morning Consult is legit*

but still subject to a lot of the structural response and weighting problems. I haven't bothered to check in this cycle in detail but even previously great pollsters have been stumbling to one degree or another.

e: to expand on this a little, the oldest Zoomers are in their early to mid 20s. This is going to be the first or second presidential cycle for the cohort so there's not really a sound history to calibrate from. You have to do a lot of guesswork and previous conventional wisdom about turnout and partisanship is changing.

Yeah, I don't disagree that polling in-general has these problems and they seem to have grown over time as the electorate has become more partisan.
