A new CBS News/YouGov poll sparked fury from the Trump campaign after it showed a deadlocked race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in battleground states. The poll found both candidates tied at 50% in the battleground state average, with Harris leading Trump by one point in a national head-to-head matchup.
The Trump campaign quickly disputed the results, with senior advisor Brian Hughes saying, “The Fake News Media continue to help dangerously liberal Kamala hide her record of economic failure and soft-on-crime policies. Now, as this analysis shows, they’ll even put a finger on the scale of polling to inflate results for her.”
The campaign also released a memo from a data consultant suggesting the poll may have been manipulated due to an increase in self-identifying liberals in the sample.
Despite the dispute, the poll’s results suggest a significant shift in momentum, with Harris gaining ground among female, younger, and black voters. The poll also revealed a gender gap between the two candidates, with Harris leading among women and Trump leading among men.
Other polls have also shown a tightening race since Harris replaced President Biden as the Democratic nominee.

Wouldn’t put anything past the fake news media.
The degenerate adulterous felon is going to lose again, probably in even larger numbers
For some reason “the polls” seam to always have shown trump trailing when he is tied and tied when he is leading….
If they are officially tied now I guess that means he is really leading….
1. Polls usually overstate the Democrats since most people answering the poll perceived the pollster as being a Democrats and wish to give the right answer.
2. It is unlikely, and perhaps impossible, to construct an accurate model since the last election was distorted by Covid, and by the Republicans (unwisely) suggesting to their voters to refrain from voting since their votes were going to be stolen.
3. The Democrats have to pick a Veep and settle on a platform, and see if they can survive the controversies (pro or anti Hamas, DEI, Trans and Intersex, cancel Jews and Catholics, etc.). So its too early for meaningful polling.
