Pence, Cheney, Bush all long gone.Trump has a republican problem. It's not the libtards that elected Biden, it was Republicans.
When Dick Cheney and George Will endorses a democratic, a black female democratic, your boy is in trouble.
We project Trump is losing 5.41%-9.13% of republicans that voted for him in 2020, where he only got 89% of republicans.
Yes Jan 6th and the 34 Felonies have really hurt Trump with the Old monied Republican base, Pence/Cheney/Bush crowd. They are not big enough to elect a republican but they are big enough to defeat one.
Trump needs to take things seriously. I know everybody here has that same 2016 fantasy running in their heads – ie. the polls don’t matter, he’s going to crush Harris on 11/5, just like magic. Well, let me clue you in. Pollsters are a lot more accurate today than they were then. They got 2020 right and nailed the 2022 midterms - and unless Trump doesn't get his ass out of the Cheese state where he hasn’t a prayer, gets himself down in the sunbelt where he’s trending down in both NC and GA, then back up to PA where he should immediately take up residence – all that will be heard here on 11/6 is “Another election stolen!!”. Stop kidding yourselves.
Why?Trump needs to take things seriously.
so preciousTwo good polling days for Trump, but Harris’s numbers don’t drop, meaning “undecideds” are now moving to the right. Tuesday’s VP debate could boost either side, and I like Vance’s chances – provided he can avoid some predictable jabs by Walz – and avoid like the plague dog-eating Haitian references.
The polls are beginning to stagnate in the swing states, although nationally Harris is ticking upward. Either Vance needs to shake things up today or a Biden blunder in the Middle East, is what’s needed to move the needle.
The trouble with RCP – which is a great source for me in terms of quick posting of raw polls – is that RCP’s heavy GOP lean has them using some real outlier polls in their averaging; just like 538 and Nate Silver’s SB, both of which lean the other way. I do my own raw poll averaging, and I’ve got Harris up-ticking from a lead of 2.7% to 2.9% - still a big drop from her post debate numbers; not a very big deal in the long run, unless it turns into a trend.You really are struggling with this . She’s +2.0 nationally in the RCP average . DOWN from +2.2 and that’s with garbage polls like Morning Compost with Harris at +5 .

Is that a joke?RCP has a heavy GOP lean ?
Please give me the heavy outliers that lean GOP and their results from the 2020 election compared to the pollsters that lean the other way .
Is that a joke?

RCP – God bless them – doesn’t even pretend to be a non-biased website, as just a glimpse at the stories they ran today should tell you. I’ve followed RCP since 2008, and their non-leaning days ended in 2017, when after the 2016 elections, they laid off all their left-leaning and/or neutral journalists in order to move to the rightist demographic. As far as outlier polls go, I’ll take one: Rasmussen Reports which, after Biden dropped out, and Harris’s new candidacy was announced - and when every non-partisan pollster polled numbers that had Harris outperforming Trump - Ramussen strangely “polled” Trump as not only leading Harris, but posted her numbers as being similar to Biden’s. Recently leaked emails between Rasmussen and the Trump campaign pretty much inferred that money has changed hands (which is when I dropped them from my list of polls). 538 has also dropped Rasmussen, but Nate Silver still uses them for his projections, however he now weights them as less reliable and more partisan.
Rasmussen’s last poll for 2020, taken on 11/2/20 had Biden winning 48% to 47%. The final actual numbers, however, were Biden 51.3%, Trump 46.8%. A 4.5% failure compared to a number of those pollsters you disliked.You gave me one . Lol .
And Rasmussen was one the most accurate pollsters in the 2020 election . Their final prediction compared to the actual results .
What other pollsters do you consider heavy right leaning and what do their poll numbers currently show ?
Compared to how many left leaning pollsters that constantly over represent Dems in their polling and were embarrassing wrong in their margin of error for the 2020 election . ABC/WAPO , Morning Consult , Ipsos , YouGov, Monmouth with Quinnipac and CNN the two worst . And that’s nowhere near the full list .

You can stop waiting, I’m not playing your game; the one where I name a right-leaning pollster, who pulls RCP’s projections beyond the mean, and you get crazy talking about how they were really accurate in 1954 or something. No. I just don’t buy ANYONE’s projections, I just average polls which I hope are non-partizan (tossing polls like Rasmussen, which may be breaking election laws with their relationship with the Trump campaign),

and keeping right-leaning ones like Atlasideal – the cream of the crop. Just be happy with having RCP in your corner.
I have to say, however, that I appreciate the fact that, unlike your childish MAGA brethren, you haven’t yet resorted to name-calling. GL
