Swing Districts may give us a clearer picture of Presidential election

This video explains how the congressional swing district polls of not only the congressional candidates but Harris vs. Trump. It makes so much common sense. A district is a much smaller voter base yet has approximately the same amount of polling respondents. That would make these swing districts more accurate. Harris is doing exceptionally well in these districts.

I cut the cord years ago and never looked back. And I'm much better informed now.

There's a blue wave coming spearheaded by women and minorities who are sick of being shit on by the New Nazi Party, Republicans.

Ethan needs to get a part time job or two, hit up his family and friends to pay for that Harvard education. He's monetized all over SoMe and I refuse to give clicks to a twenty something "polls expert." Polls alone are drivel.

Ridiculous.

6. His points in the video are good points. He's looking at district polling and comparing it to past elections

showing improvements for Harris over what Biden was doing in those districts and way above Hillary. This is probably some of the most substantive data we currently have. You may not be impressed with this fellow but he's sharing data and showing how it stacks up to past elections. So, this isn't his opinions, it's good data.
