7. I wish we had more Likely Voter polls to compare it to. Pollsters use different questions
Thu Aug 29, 2019, 09:18 PM

to gauge how likely someone is to vote, and it's quite possible this poll's questions skew it much more toward Biden, with the category of most likely voters, than other Likely Voter polls will.

in the same set, you could debunk the assertion that Biden supporters are less enthusiastic than others. It must be out there somewhere I would have thought.

14. Just discovered that yesterday's Harris X poll, which I'd missed earlier, had Biden at 38%
Thu Aug 29, 2019, 09:42 PM
Aug 2019

for the category Harris X called Definite Voter and 538 calls Likely Voter.

So Biden lost a point since yesterday in this 3-day tracking poll.

He's at 33% there among registered voters.

Business Democrats - Biden
African Americans - Biden

Progressives - split between Warren and Sanders
