Who knows?
After her one interview, Kamala-lama-ding-dong may not do another. If she can keep the electorate from figuring out how goofy she is and the MSM keeps up the coronation music, all she has to do is survive the debate.
By that time, early voting starts and the Big Blue Machine kicks in. Throw in a jail sentence by Bragg's Boy and who knows what can happen?

Not a poll, a model based on all the polls and statistical data. And that model and statistician was the only one that gave Trump anything over 5%, Silver was the lone voice that started going on TV and warning that the pundits were wrong, and that Trump was starting to gain momentum and posed a significant chance of winning. He got laughed at and insulted by The NY Times and WaPo.
That model you point to doesn’t diminish my point or confidence, but actually reinforces it.

I think the heavy interest with opinion polls is quite interesting psychologically. What does it matter who is "winning" in a two-party system where there is no real justification for tactical voting? Do people really change their preferred candidate based on the fact that they don't want to be on the losing team?

No, but they change their donation intentions… If it’s a close race, donors might go a little higher. If it’s trending downwards, they might either substantially increase or substantially decrease their donations.

Plus, I live with the belief that people are idiots. Individuals can be quite intelligent, but put them in groups and they immediately become less intelligent. The bigger the group, the dumber they get.

That would certainly explain the quality of the two candidates.

For many, many elections….
I’m probably a believer in anti-democracy. The more people support a policy, the worse it probably is…

That's because fitting in socially is an existential priority for humans. And we're not wired to be aware of that motivation to our beliefs.

"voters are unsure they know enough about where Kamala Harris stands"
Yeah, how about that.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Does it matter where she stands if she is unable to deliver on any of it?
