Quinnipiac Presidential Poll Released — 24 Comments

  1. Is there something against the rules here in asking why you select some polls over others to do stories on here?

  2. Shorter poll results:
    1. Biden needs to play up the hell out of abortion and hope that Kascmaryk makes another dumb-ass ruling to help him out.
    2. Biden needs to hope Bibi actually pretends to listen to him, as Biden pretends to be tough on Bibi.
    3. Biden needs to hope Trump is convicted.
    4. Yeah, I know US potential voters (poll is of registereds, not likelys) are idiots, and this proves it. Stein is third-party, but she’s also a 3-time retread and 70 percent say they still don’t know enough about her?
    5. Per Walt Whitman, the mind of the average voter contains multitudes, and boy are they stupid.

  3. Corvette Kitchen Fire, the Quinnipiac poll is one of the few that is considered for the inclusion criteria in the CNN debate. Given that RFK, Jr. had 16% in the last such poll by them, this poll was one of the best chances he had to pick up 2 more polls in excess of 15% to qualify for the debate. Unfortunately for RFK, Jr., he only got 14% in this poll. However, I’d wager that if they had excluded Cornell West and Jill Stein and just done a 3 way horserace that RFK, Jr. would have gotten the 15% he needed.

  4. This particular poll doesn’t give any swing state data, but there are two links on their website to polls taken in Wisconsin and North Carolina.

  5. I also said presidential polls come out almost every day, in the context of asking which ones you select to do stories on.

    You could, for example , mention that the poll averages show Biden losing, losing in all or almost all swing states, being the least popular president seeking another term since Herbert Hoover, being behind substantially on almost every policy issue and personal measure, losing big chunks of minority and youth votes since 2020, and having much softer support than Trump.

  6. “Biden needs to hope Trump is convicted”

    Democrats seem to think that that will make a difference. I’m not so sure. To many, he will look like a martyr.

  7. As I understand it, there are quite a few different polls included in the CNN criteria and several more weeks. A more serious problem for Kennedy may be that CNN is interpreting Biden and Trump as being on the ballot, even though they are not yet the nominees of their parties, but only counting Kennedy as being on the ballot where states have already certified him.

  8. I’m not sure whether a conviction in the sham Manhattan trial will gain or lose Trump more support. Most likely it will help him. It will also be reversed on appeal. Normally, that would not happen before November, but it might get expedited. There’s a distinct chance both the initial conviction and, say, an October reversal could both help Trump.

  9. 50 STATES + 1 DC + 2 ME + 4 NE = 57 GERRYMANDER AREAS FOR 538 EC VOTES

    NONSTOP 57 POLLS PER DAY ??? – OR AT LEAST 10 IN 2020 MARGINAL AREAS ???

    TOO LATE FOR MORE GERRYMANDER AREAS ???

  10. Stop trolling: I have not commented on this thread until now. I NEVER use a pseudonym. I only comment under my own name.

  11. Funny how they gave RFK Jr. 14% just 1% short of CNN criteria for the debates. These polls are so fixed. Funny how that works

  12. That’s about where he’s been polling. Plenty of polls coming up. The ballot access criterion in the way they’re interpreting it is the bigger hurdle.

  13. Only outlier polls which show Biden winning earn a story?

  14. Oh, so that’s who Stock is … someone in an earlier post/thread thought that I was him

  15. Another big poll that doesn’t have RFK Jr. at or higher than 15% support.

    One less poll that doesn’t qualify him for the debates.
