New York Times/Sienna Poll Puts Trump Up by 4 Among Likely Voters, 6 Among Registered Voters

Is this still a "small" or "slight" lead, or is this more substantial?

Note that we are now at an inversion of the past situation -- a likely voter screen is now more Democratic, and an "all voters" screen favors Trump. Trump has attracted a lot of non-voters and low-propensity voters.

The trouble is... they are low-propensity voters.

President Biden continues to confront deeper doubts among Democrats than former President Donald J. Trump faces among Republicans -- even after Mr. Trump was convicted of 34 felony charges last month, according to a new poll by The New York Times and Siena College.

The national survey on the eve of the first presidential debate shows that voters have broad distaste for both candidates but that Mr. Trump has so far better consolidated the support of his own party. Only 72 percent of voters who said they cast a ballot for Mr. Biden four years ago say they approve of the job he is doing as president. And voters overall say they now trust Mr. Trump more on the issues that matter most to them.

In the first Times/Siena poll since the former president's trial ended with a guilty verdict on May 30, more than two-thirds of voters said the outcome of his Manhattan criminal case made no difference to their vote. Roughly 90 percent of Republicans still view Mr. Trump favorably.

And among the relatively small slice who said the conviction would make a difference in their vote, Republicans said the outcome would make them likelier to support him than oppose him by a roughly 4-to-1 margin.

...


The head-to-head results of the survey show Mr. Trump with his biggest lead in a national Times/Siena poll among likely voters, 48 percent to 44 percent, a 3 percentage point margin when calculated before the figures are rounded. Mr. Trump's lead with registered voters was an even larger 6 percentage points.

Those results are notably different than the new national polling average released by The New York Times this week, which shows Mr. Trump leading Mr. Biden by about one percentage point. It is difficult to determine whether such results, known in the polling industry as an outlier, reflect a change in public opinion not yet seen by other pollsters or are produced by random error.

It's not an outlier. Quinippiac just found Trump ahead by 4 as well.


In this case, the size of Mr. Trump's lead in the poll may be related to the fact that Republicans were significantly likelier to answer their phones and take the survey than Democrats or independents, a new development in Times/Siena polling this cycle. One potential explanation was that Mr. Trump's base is more motivated to participate in the poll after his conviction.

LOL, our own poll is skewed! Skewed polls! Skewed polls!


The candidates were neck-and-neck in the Times/Siena survey in April, with Mr. Trump holding a slight advantage -- 47 percent to 46 percent -- among likely voters.

Was that an "outlier" too?

It's not all good news. Trump's own pollster shows Trump losing four points of his lead, falling from +6 over Biden to now just +2.

I don't think so. I think he'd hold that back. If he beats Biden in the debate, he wants that to be the story, and doesn't want to compete with it with another story.

If he loses the debate, he'll want to release some other news to distract from the loss. A VP announcement would be one bit of news he could release to compete with the Trump Loses headlines.

But that was true in 2016 - Trump got white working-class people to vote who normally didn't vote.

When it comes to analyzing the electorate, I think it's important to note that Trump is not really a generic Republican.

He attracts more non-voters than, say, Mitt Romney did.

I see them as the Midwestern Democrats who hate what the Democrat Party has become but hate the GOP because it's all rich people out to scam them and put down the working man in a labor union who just wants to put dinner on his family's table.

96 "How Georgia Was Stolen" by Liz Harrington goes into great detail about how all the Expert Dem Cheaters (experts at hiding their cheats) were moved into place before the 2020 election.

They then successfully stiff armed all efforts to expose their "Operation Cheat", and still fail to comply. There chant is now "it is time to move on" as their raw fabrication of massive numbers of votes (without ballots) is exposed.

Many of the same people and structures are still in place. Polling will have to move toward Biden (if they keep him) so when they steal it they can claim it was expected by polling.

113 OT: Willowed, from the last thread re the triumph of Islham:

I was struck by a line I saw in an old movie the other night.

The movie was 1939's The Phantom of the Opera, starring Charles Laughton and a lovely young Maureen O'Hara in her Hollywood debut.

At the beginning of the film, a band of Gypsies is trying to enter Paris, from which they have been legally banned. Cedrick Hardwicke plays a high government official who is confronting them at the gates of the city. When the leader of the Gypsies asks why they are barred from the city, the Hardwicke character responds with something like, "Because you are not Frenchmen."
To which the Gypsy leader responds with something like "You were here first, and we are here later." Which I took to mean, "Yeah, you Frenchmen rule the roost now, but someday we will supplant you." Eerily prescient of the Muslim takeover of Europe today.

145 Everything is so fluid it is tenuous for me to feel confident that Trump is going to actually sit in the Oval Office even if Trump wipes the floor with Biden in November. The Dems have honed how to target key areas with fraudulent votes to throw the election; the endless mail in voting season is the gift that gives as needed. Then there is the potential for much mischief during the certification period.

Still my read on the polls and the mood of the nation is Trump is headed towards getting something north of 300 electoral votes, possibly into the 330 range. The degrees of difficulty is actually getting into the White House.

But this notion that Trump is easily provoked is entirely fake news, fully manufactured by the left.

You know why they wanted to sit?
Remember Paul Ryan sitting there as Joe grinned and brayed like a jackass?
No matter how forceful you respond, it's severely weakened by sitting. That's what they were going for, limiting that 70% of nonverbal communication.

On top of which is the basic arithmetic. Biden has a majority of Dems delegates pledged to him. They can’t vote any other way (on the first ballot) at the convention. Even if all the superdelegates pooled their votes on an alternate, the simple arithmetic says Biden becomes the official nominee. Unless he goes room temp he’s the nominee… because he’ll never quit.

FWIW, I just drove from SC to Ohio a couple days ago and saw not one, single Biden bumper sticker, sign or flag on any house or car. I drove over 800 miles and saw nothing of support for him. Even though it wasn't a lot, I did see a smattering of Trump flags and a few bumper stickers.

214 Just came across this, in Orestes Brownson, Conversations on Liberalism and the Church. It's a series of discussions between a journalist and a priest:

"THE journalist saw nothing in the priest’s answer to accept or deny. He could and would on no consideration whatever accept the infallibility of the Church. He did not profess to be a philosopher or a theologian, and seemed to regard a publicist as perfectly competent to sit in judgment on either....But the editor proceeded as if all statements that went beyond his knowledge, or against his theories, could be only a fable or a cunning invention."

227 Trump probably has a bigger lead than polls indicate. Even if he does have a bigger lead, given 20’ and 22’ what are the significance of the polls? We have little to no say in ballot counting, we do not have control or presence in the streets to protest. The courts, rigged. This is the reality of it. I am not saying to give up, I’m more interested in when the F are we going to start pushing back, fighting back properly.

228 Instead, they'd get Gavin Newsom who would be defending his own terrible record in CA while promising to continue everything that Biden did that made him unpopular.

If Biden's negatives were because of his personal corruption, I could buy that replacing him would be good, but he's not unpopular because of that.

I was sure this was the night. The girl was hot too, a few years older, and I was so very proud of myself that my first was gonna be a girl of that quality. So while on the one hand I'm thinking "I got this in the bag," on the other I was like "can this really be happening?"

Then the whole thing went to shit when her friends suddenly decided that they had to leave the party, and came looking for her.

But on the bright spot, it soon got around school that I -- a freshman -- was half naked with one of the hot girls in school -- who was a junior -- and after that all of the other girls wanted me. And the girl in question, to her credit, never denied what happened, or claimed she was drunk, or said anything to make me look bad.

Yes, by definition, a likely voter screen is more "democratic." The question is, is it more Democrat, or more Republican? You should drop the "-ic" on Democratic.

I don't like to play along with Democrats who insist they always get to refer to themselves as "Democratic." They're only democratic under duress; they'd rather steal elections than woo voters.

MRC Free Speech America uncovered proof of Google’s bias and censorship through two separate sets of search queries. First, MRC researchers analyzed the Google Search results for the six presidential candidates still in the race Tuesday. When searching for a candidate's name and the words “presidential race 2024,” Google completely buried Trump and elevated Biden as the first search result. In fact, the tech giant excluded the only two major pro-life candidates from the top-3 search results, singling out Trump and Constitution Party candidate for president Randall Terry.

Posted by: mrp at June 27, 2024 12:48 PM (rj6Yv)

The funny thing about NPV is that, were it in place, a republican popular vote victory would result in an electoral landslide, possibly 100%. Followed by lot's of screeching as Democrat strongholds like CA and NY are forced to misrepresent their voters and vote for the R.

Posted by: bill in arkansas

Despite my fondness for redheads, I've never been a huge O'Hara fan, especially in her flics with John Wayne. I think it was her hairstyle. Made her face too severe and hard.

In Hunchback, however, her face was much softer. I think that it was because they gave her curls around her face that softened her look considerably. She truly is lovely in that film.

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Joe Biden at June 27, 2024 12:48 PM (Zz0t1)

I’m no fan of Lebron. I’m just saying Jordan didn’t win a championship until Bird And Magic were done and Detroit had their fill. And Pippen and Rodman were already better than good. They made Jordan’s team good enough to finally win championships.

Posted by: polynikes at June 27, 2024 12:54 PM (SHMXB)

309 > Nah. Jordan could have won championships alone.

Funny thing, statistically when Jordan had an "amazing" game, the Bulls usually lost. When one player is getting 50+ points, the other players are underutilized.

When I finally saw the movie, I never understood that part because I grew up in NYC and my community had a big Jewish population. I never saw anti-semitism before.

Little did I know that decades later, my advice to all Jews facing these donkey-fucking sand rats would be: "Learn to fight."

Yep. I used to watch a lot of NBA… late 70s through circa 2012…. Jordan was by far the best I ever saw. Amazing athleticism and skills plus a killer instinct and mental toughness LeBron could never touch. That “flu” game in 98 (it was actually food poisoning) is a perfect example of that mental toughness. I think he was probably the best competitor in any team sport in my lifetime

I think Phil Jackson had a LOT to do with the wins. The best thing he did was move Jordan away from the point guard spot. They got IMMEDIATELY better letting him move away from the ball and playing shooting forward.

I don't remember him doing that a lot. What he did do, many many times, was moving his feet all over the place before the drive.
