Updated - missed this morning in the Siena noise is an IBD/TIPP AZ poll showing a tie. The battleground polling average - which is the MOST predictive metric of the national race - shows Harris running .39% ahead of '20, and projects a Harris national lead of 4.79%.

If you want to understand why GA still matters look at the 2024 Senate map which has three incumbents in tough races: Tester, Manchin and Brown. It will be a lot easier to win 2 of those races than all three.

In historical terms, the shift from the first post-debate is one of the smaller in modern political history.

We now have 12 polls partially post-debate, and 10 conducted entirely post-debate. Biden trails Trump by 3.1% in polls wholly conducted post debate, for a margin shift of 1.8%. You can quibble some here - but the # of polls gives a good picture of the state of the race.

In 2019 my wife and I attended a small event with Harris. My wife does not like politics and politicians. But after the event she turned to me and said she is REALLY likable. This is not 2016.

@melnickjeffrey1 I once read a recommendation from a Brit academic - the strongest thing in it was "She is sound". Another Brit read it and described the review as glowing.

The MI UMASS poll. There is in this data the suggestion that right now the R's have an enthusiasm problem. I would love to see an x-tab of pro-choice Republicans here. It is also a warning because data showed this in '16 and '20 and closed late. See also the Selzer IA poll.

This is from the UMASS-Lowell PA poll. D's happier than R's with their choice, in general an electorate that does not hate the choice.

Absolutely brutal numbers from Quinnipiac. No one has seen movement in this direction since 9/16. The MI poll is way too the right. ONE POLL from a suspect pollster.

Biden dropped out at 2:00 PM 7/21. At that moment all of his delegates WERE UNDECLARED. 32 hours later Harris had enough delegates to win the nomination, which makes this the shortest presidential nomination contest in US history. Remember - every delegate was free.

No state was more effected by Biden's withdrawal more than Georgia. And nowhere has Siena been more off than GA. I take the average of the LV/RV margin - and Siena has been an entire standard deviation from the mean. There is good argument Harris is ahead in GA.

The key point to remember: with inflation over 8% the Democrats PICK UP a seat by winning seats that were very close in 2020. This is a historic accomplishment - which most of the press completely missed.

Post-debate polls drive the narrative about the debate itself. They are important because they drive coverage for days. For this reason, debate bounces increase 3-5 days after the debate. This was the case with the first debate.

Gentle reminder that post-debate snap polls are good for clicks and views, but are almost entirely unscientific and at most should be interpreted directionally. We’ll have a better sense of the true impact of the debate in about a week or so.

I keep waiting for the polls to flip to the GOP as they did in '14 - and maybe this is why it won't happen. Biden is at 47-52 among likely voters as opposed to 41-50 with all adults. Compare the 47 approval to the 43 strongly disapprove which has been important in the past.

I have seen the same thing in the Emerson polling on issues and in NH polling as well. Immigration is a base GOP concern - among indies, it barely registers. The GOP is in many ways running the wrong campaign. This is the WI Marquette poll.

Downballot effects of a Biden loss are clear for Democrats. The House would likely be gone. GOP has opened up an edge on the generic ballot. If Biden loses, the chance of Democrats holding the Senate is close to zero because of the map and WV being an easy GOP pickup.

Steve Schale, the best D strategist on Florida there is, once wrote friends do not let friends quote Quinnipiac. Their record in '16, '18 and '20 was abysmal. No one else is seeing the movement Q has seen. Toss them in the average - but always be skeptical.

In Pa’s hotly contested 10th Congressional District, our poll out later today shows Harris leading Trump in this GOP-leaning district 46:41. Trump won this district +4 in ‘20. This is not a good trajectory for GOP incumbent Con. Scott Perry. More tweets to follow shortly.

@ForecasterEnten The polling in '22 missed massively among African Americans and is very similar to the polling now. Please do better research - there are very good reasons to think polling among African Americans is broken.

The big story of this race - despite all you read - is how stable it is. On August 12th the state polling implied national lead hit 3.81%. Since that time there have been 295 state polls I have included in this moving average - and the state average HAS NOT MOVED.

This is the first cycle where I have actually seen pushback against RCP from pundits. RCP has no methodology and no transparency. I have a lot of respect for some of the writers there - but they have hidden from criticism for too long.

Take a moment to stop and think about what has been accomplished. A sitting president withdrew 31 hours ago - and in that time $250 million has been raised and individually elected Democratic Delegates have decided to support Harris. I have never seen anything like it.

Total as of this moment: 1,397. Texas is on the phone - word is the entire delegation will vote for her, which nets another 231. MA (91) has a call tonight, NJ (125) had a call this afternoon (no news). That nets another 448, and gives Harris 1,845 - 130 delegates short.
