The Honeymoon’s Over

This after the media gave her a month’s coverage that would be considered over the top if applied to the Blessed Virgin.  Setting things up nicely for the debate on September 10.

The Blessed Virgin and Kamila in the same thought? Even my phone started vibrating and smoking as I read that line.
Excellent writing, Don.

The fact Harris has any lead at all is distressing.

If Emerson says it’s Harris +2 you can bet it’s really more like Trump +3 or more.

I disbelieve the polls. That said, I am dismayed at the number of people in technical fields like mine would vote for Kamala Harris. The fundamental change of the Amiercan psyche that Barack Hussein Obama helped to architect has had its success.

CINO’s & RINO’s.
What polls are worthy to believe?

Here’s one that reminds me of the fact that 70% of Catholics don’t believe in the Real Presence.

Abortion? No biggie. God will understand. Heck…there is no Hell, right?

We are in a chastisement brought about by our unfaithfulness and indifference.

God help US.

I looked up the poll, and they don’t give enough information about their methodology for it to be worthwhile. Some specific notes:

  • The sample size is 1000, and every one of those is an “very likely voter.” This means that they threw out people not in this category, making it unclear what the true sample size was (though I’m sure they used the larger number to calculate their credibility interval). They could also have thrown out likely voter results they didn’t like if they had more than 1000 likely voters.
  • The data was explicitly said to be reweighted, but they don’t give their method for reweighting other than saying it was based on “2024 likely voter modeling.” Since the 2024 election hasn’t happened yet, that gives them a free hand to reweight however they like.
  • The percentages reported are the weighted percentages, but these also match the percentages in their “full data.” Thus when they say that 469 out of 1000 said that they would vote for Donald Trump, what is really meant is that after winnowing the data to likely voters and feeding things through their model to reweight things, the number turned into 469 out of 1000. No information is given about how many people they called actually said that they would vote for Trump, or Harris, or anything else.

If you are going to view polls like this as indicative of anything, it’s not public opinion, but rather the extent that polling agencies believe that they are able to lie about public opinion without losing all credibility.
