Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: A-rated SurveyUSA NATIONAL poll: Biden 32%, Warren 22%, Sanders 17%, Harris 7%, Buttigieg 5%, [View all]bluewater
(5,376 posts)32. 4.6 points now according to the RCP Polls yoyo, I mean tracker...
Their 5 point moving average filter of the last 5 polls while ignoring all the other polls, even very recent ones, makes that lead number go up and down like a yoyo as the different polls are released.
Also, for the record, Joe's support at RCP trended down again, for the same reason, and stands at 28.8%. That's lower than his support back when he announced on April 25th when he was at 29.3%.
And then, so we just don't cherry pick which Poll Tracker we follow, we can also look at The Economist's tracker where Warren is +1 over Biden.

I have always consider SurveyUSA to be one the best if not the best polling firm.

Refreshing to see how Biden is doing according to a credible poll rather than media spin.
