58% say the U.S. is worse off under Trump vs Biden, 24% say it’s better
by G. Elliott Morris

Plus new poll shows by 56-26 margin, voters want Congress to be a check on Trump — including a quarter of Republicans!

What's frustrating is that in 2020 and 2024 (I can't speak to 2026 as well) we had absurd polls from Trafalgar with completely wrong POC vote shares for Trump etc. and yeah, those crosstabs were in fact as wrong as we all thought... but the toplines were still close. Other stuff gave the GOP error.

They know how, but they've figured out that there's no downside in how people see them overall if they way oversample Rs and underestimate Ds

Dems are mostly too feckless, credulous of toplines, and traumatized to argue

GOP are delusional and will threaten them with violence if bad results show up

oh you don't think an R+41 swing with 18-29 year olds in NH between the Biden and the Trump midterms is plausible? Smh

yeah I've been wondering today how it would show in toplines if I started treating Siena as a GOP affiliate given Cohn's madness on their turnout when they're obviously depressed

IDK if this makes any difference, but the Louisiana US Senate poll's toplines show that 58% of respondents voted for Trump in 2024, which is close to the % he won in 2024 (60.2%).
Lots of good polling for Democrats right now. Keep in mind, however, that polling in the last few cycles has been significantly off (~4 points in big races), generally to the benefit of Republicans.

My sense is that this is because voting for Trump drives shame. So respondents simply lie.
🚨🚨🚨

Just got info from the Jamie Davis (Louisiana US Dem candidate) campaign that a poll taken from 9/17 to 9/19 shows he's within 4 points of US Rep. Julia Letlow (the R senate candidate) in the Louisiana US senate race.

Of note, Letlow's name recognition is double that of Davis. (82% vs. 41%)

yeah I mean. I'm absolutely willing to buy Collins outrunning the lean of the year by a staggering amount, sure, throw the toplines in the average. will a majority of the midterm electorate in an East Coast state be male? I am not sure that has happened this century.

So no, Abdul is not tied 45-45 and Benson is not up only 3, high single digits to 10 for Abdul as I've been saying and very funnily I think this poll inadvertently substantiated that

He's talking about enthusiasm numbers which means the toplines are an atrocity.

Canada's employment rate is up 1 point over last year. The unemployment rate (graph below) is pretty static.

Below the toplines, Canada is seeing a surprising boom in manufacturing.

REIMAGINE 5 toplines from @novonordisk.bsky.social for CagriSema vs Tirzepatide in people with obesity and diabetes brought a wide range of reactions. The best response is to look deeper at what the data might tell us.

Weighting the poll is saying “this response counts more than the other one“. You can give every Democratic response a 0.9 weight because uh, it’s too Woke, and then suddenly the blue wave is gone.

I’ve seen pollsters take the same sample and give toplines differing by 5

In a recent poll, 60% of voters favored Da on health care vs. 34% for Rs. People will remember who did what to help or hurt people.

I do think that MAGA questions are reallllllly wording sensitive (e.g. "consider self a member" and "support" yield very different toplines), but of course this differential issue is always the worry.

on the other hand, in a midterm, the group not answering polls may also really not vote
