4. That's true, i noticed it too. Bigger issue: if all polled were 45% trump 53% kamala, they won't say it.

Even within a state. If those polled were 45% for trump and 53% for kamala, they will still shoehorn the data into boxes that fit with a 51% Trump / 47% Harris outcome — by weighting independents or white females a little differently. They are not reporting the unadjusted numbers.

We are treated like mushrooms and kept in the dark.
