Trump favorability is too high in the NYT-Sienna polls

[kansasobama]

It is 47-52. Looks like all GOP and MAGA have consolidated. We have to really work hard to have Harris at about 48. It is going to be the same old close one. High favorability for a rapist felon?

1. NYTimes is just a yellow-rag these years. Brought and Pay-for articles. No surprise.

2. It's just one poll and it's only slightly off his average when the MOE is factored in.

Other recent polls have him as low as 41%.

As for the GOP and MAGA, they were never not consolidated. Nearly everyone in the GOP has supported Trump all along, which is why his approval ratings are historically stable.

3. The most recent poll has Harris leading Trump by 1% or trailing by 1%, depending on how many candidates are included.

5. The deeply flawed NYT polls have been consistent outliers.

Every.Single.Poll has been out of step with the bulk of the reputable pollsters.

6. drumpf's polling scam

It's been reported, as well as testified to by Michael Cohen under oath, that drumpf has been paying for favorable polling numbers for yrs. His numbers are a scam.

Moderate republicans and independents aren't voting for him and his magats are about 1/3 of republicans so why are his numbers close to Harris?
Like everything else he's done, it's a fraud

7. That's not what was reported or testified

He testified that TFG paid for favorable results in a poll for most popular businessman before he ran for president.
