Contributing sentiments towards policy:

75% : In June, Trump was leading President Joe Biden by 18 points.
70% : A stunning poll released late Saturday shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Iowa, a state Trump won easily in 2016 and 2020.
50% : Polling is necessarily old by the time it becomes public, and the shift to Trump as Election Day arrived in 2016, particularly among independents, wasn't captured in surveys.
31% : It has consistently been possible that the 2024 polls have similarly underestimated enthusiasm among women -- perhaps in part because pollsters have been wary of once again being seen as underestimating Trump.
