Is it just me or is everyone and their mother doing a poll with ipsos?

They must be cheap lol

Same reason so many outlets are still going with Harris poll, though I believe Ipsos is still regarded much higher than Harris, but I imagine both are on the cheaper end

Trump is innocent!

It's amazing that he & his business can be unanimously ruled against by 3 juries comprising a total of 30 jurors so far & have that not be considered important foreshadowing as to what 48 more jurors in his not 1, or 2 or even 3, but 4 pending criminal cases are likely to decide.

I've just been thinking about this question generally, but what if he's actually convicted here? I don't  think anyone's really appreciated that question to the full extent.

A first-time nonviolent white-collar offender in New York State is highly unlikely to be sentenced to face a term of incarceration of any length, but Trump is so contemptuous, who knows what Merchan may do & what local trial & appeals judges won't be willing to stay?

Trump team increasingly sees acquittal as unlikely, sees their only path through hung jury.

They seem to think 1 juror may be on their side. Hard to tell if it's just desperate spin at this point though

Probably just coping:

Coping is all they got left tbh lol

Could very well be all over but the crying

Biden 40
Trump 38
RFK Jr. 8
Stein 3
West 1
Some other candidate 8
Undecided 2

There's 3 third-party options and 8% still say 'some other candidate'? 20% for non-Biden/Trump? Now sis...

For the H2H, it looks like a wording change - their prior polls did not include 'some other candidate' like this one did, so that's the reason it looks like this dropped to 42-42 when their last polls totaled 90%+ between the two of them (just offered unsure/refused)

Honestly if i was corbyn I would revive the old "Independent Labour" label.

‘Independent [Party Name]’ labels have been banned on ballots since the Registration of Political Parties Act 1998, which was introduced in response to a spate of candidates running under descriptions like ‘Literal Democrat’. I suppose Corbyn could register a party under a similar name, though again, the Electoral Commission could refuse it if they deem it plausible that it could mislead voters into thinking he’s the official Labour candidate.

Does fundraising numbers still matter with regards to actual outcomes? Trump was very much outraised by Hillary 3:1 back in 2016 and we all know how it ended.

Yeah, they probably don't. You need big money to run an effective campaign but we are WAY past that. Both campaigns are gonna be flush with cash. Whoever has a bit more won't make a difference.

Weren't democrats 2 months ago saying that Biden outraising Trump is a massive reason he's gonna win?

Trump is gonna lose because he doesn't have a platform not because of the amount of money he raises, giving tax cuts to super rich

The likability question remains prescient to me:

Biden
Like somewhat/a lot: 39%
Dislike somewhat/a lot: 44% (35% a lot)

Trump
Like somewhat/ a lot: 31%
Dislike somewhat/ a lot: 56% (46% a lot)

People may disapprove of Biden, but they don't outright hate him like they do Trump. Ambivalence is strong for Biden imo, while Trump it's much more clean cut of you really like him or you really don't.

No Oregon dem that's not a full carpetbagger will accept that
