I actually find it hard to believe anyone is voting for Robinson and yet unlikely he finishes with less than 42-43%.
Feels like a lot of what they say the pollsters are doing are trying to find Trump voters to respond.Breaking my rule on clicking on this thread to share this gift article.

How Polls Have Changed to Try to Avoid a 2020 Repeat
Pollsters are constantly tinkering, but they have also made some substantial adjustments.www.nytimes.com
Just fear of 2016 permeating several folksIs is just me or is the confidence level of Harris winning dropping on here?
I think it's more general anxiety now that it's so close. The campaign's message hasn't changed. They're as confident as they need to be.Is is just me or is the confidence level of Harris winning dropping on here?
It’s just you. The lines in the sand haven’t moved.Is is just me or is the confidence level of Harris winning dropping on here?
We may need to get some suitcases out to Nevada
It's just you. Confidence level is where it has been: Cautiously confident. This "dropping confidence" you believe you see on this board is just you misdiagnosing our angst that no matter how little sense it makes, this is going to be a close race. Maybe the closest in presidential history. That in itself is depressing, but that doesn't mean we're not confident she'll win in the end. We're just sad that a person like Trump is still going to get minimum 47% of the vote in this country, and we're going to have to sweat it out until the end.Is is just me or is the confidence level of Harris winning dropping on here?
The most confident I’ve ever been that the presidential candidate I voted for would win the election was in 2016. I didn’t think there was any way that Trump had a chance. I shall never be confident again.It's just you. Confidence level is where it has been: Cautiously confident.

For Kamala to win, she needs to offset a dip in black and hispanic votes by adding more white votes to her coalition. If the gains she's made with white women hold (+6%), it's going to more than offset the dip in black and hispanic votes. White women are the #1 voting bloc in the country.
One other thing: Kamala needs turnout from high-propensity voters to win. Trump's new gains have come from low-propensity male voters, people that don't normally turn out. His coalition is on a much less secure foundation than hers. As David Plough said, he's encouraged because early voting totals haven't shown a big wave of incel votes yet.
Yeah this is meThe most confident I’ve ever been that the presidential candidate I voted for would win the election was in 2016. I didn’t think there was any way that Trump had a chance. I shall never be confident again.
Ive felt it's going to be a coin flip for a while.Is is just me or is the confidence level of Harris winning dropping on here?
Same. Now I have readied my brain to be able to process him winning (again). I was not ready for that in 2016 and it took quite some time. At least now I do know that his fanatics have no boundaries and it is a very real possibility that he can win, and very well may. And that there is nothing he can do that will turn his base from him.The most confident I’ve ever been that the presidential candidate I voted for would win the election was in 2016.

In 2016, I seriously thought that we would see red states turn blue due to Trump being the worst major party nominee we have had in modern American history, if not ever. That’s how naive I was. Naive about red states turning blue, that is (or even swing states going red). Not naive about how horrible of a candidate he was. I was right on the money with that.Same.

Perhaps even more disheartening, but at least tempered by the fact that he lost.2020 was almost as disheartening seeing all of those people voting for trump after experiencing him for 4 years.
