Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 47% to 40% in the race to win the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, as she appeared to blunt Trump’s edge on the economy and jobs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday found.
Maybe it’s the sample size being a bit lacking? I’m no expert, but IIRC, 1k is the bare minimum for such, and only 871 of those surveyed are relevant to the results — or, am I missing something?
Polls are pretty unreliable anymore, so makes sense to ignore, but they do hold some super generalizations that are useful.
As super generalizations go, I guess.
Lol. Okay, bud
Oh? You feel like gracing us all with specifics of these “somewhat useful” “super generalizations”, bud? That would be generous.

TBF, I was low-key agreeing with you, but you do you, Trigger.
You must be fun at parties.
Thanks! It all starts with refusing to talk politics or fanatical book clubs at parties, FYI. Good luck out there, neighbor! 🖖🏽
