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.
It’s Reuters/Ipsos. Not sure why this is being downvoted.
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.

You must be fun at parties.
