    Polls are garbage.

    Democrats have been beating the polls at the ballot boxes by 9 points nationwide since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

    It’s been going on long enough now that either pollsters don’t want to adjust or they don’t know how.

    As for the debate, there is (conservative funded so YMMV) research that shows that debates don’t change anyone’s mind.

    Don’t get so wrapped up in their dog & pony show.

      Saying polls are garbage is a straight bad take. The differentiation between polls is immense, and people treat them like they are just one thing.

      They do adjust, and if you don’t know that I’m not likely to believe you have the knowledge to say they are bad.

      Polls are still very indicative. Democrats are not magically beating them by 9 points. That’s just flatly untrue, unless you are just rolling every poll together with no regard for methodology, funding source, sample size, or track record.
