New York Post: Donald Trump, Kamala Harris neck and neck in Michigan, but top issues favor the GOP: new polls (Cygnal Poll)
And a just-released Cygnal poll of 600 likely general-election voters, conducted between Aug. 28 and Sept. 1, shows a similarly too-close-to-call landscape. Harris leads Trump 47% to 46%, with the race tied among independent voters. Pollster Chris Lane thinks that despite Democrats’ nominal lead, conservatives should be heartened by the results here. “Undecided Independents will likely be the deciding group in these tight races. Remember, Joe Biden won Michigan by three points in 2020 so these numbers indicate Democrats are on the ropes and will have a much harder time replicating those results with the Harris-Walz ticket,” Lane said in a release rolling out the topline numbers Friday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 10, 2024) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following national poll (conducted September 3-5) of 1,510 likely general election voters. “Ahead of tonight’s debate, it’s important to point out nearly half of voters (46%) blame the Democratic Party’s policies for the rising costs of inflation which isn’t great for Harris considering over two-thirds of voters hold her at least somewhat responsible for the Biden-Harris administration’s policies,” said Pollster and Cygnal President, Brent Buchanan. “Harris may have favorable mainstream media coverage and advertising advantages, but this race remains a statistical tie, and opinions formed of her are still soft and could easily swing. She has the most at stake in this debate and the most to prove to swing voters who are feeling the inflationary impact most.”

Read MoreData-Driven Campaigns: How Polling Shapes Fundraising Strategies
Political campaigns are like fingerprints, no two are exactly alike. For campaigns locally or nationally, that makes it hard to develop a playbook or template to better ensure victory. Many have tried and many have failed but we are never in shortage of a campaign to run or candidate to field. Setting aside all the maxims from political wizards, pundits, and experts, we know polling and fundraising are intrinsically linked, often working in tandem to drive campaign success. While conventional wisdom might suggest that underdog candidates in deep blue districts or even those in tight races should shy away from polling, the reality is quite different. Even in seemingly daunting uphill battles, strategic polling can illuminate a path to victory and provide compelling reasons for donors to invest.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 16, 2024) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following Pennsylvania statewide poll (conducted Aug. 14-15) of 800 likely general election voters. “For all that has happened in Presidential politics over the last month and a half, the race for Senate in Pennsylvania is becoming immune to political volatility. The withdrawal of President Biden has done nothing to improve the reelection prospects of Senator Casey,” said Cygnal and Trump 2020 Pollster, Brock McCleary.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 14, 2024) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following national poll (conducted August 6-8) of 1,500 likely general election voters. “Post-debate, we’ve seen the largest single month-over-month movement towards Republicans across-the-board, from R+0 to R+4, in the history of our national polling,” said Pollster and Cygnal President, Brent Buchanan. “President Biden’s image worsened to 62 percent having an unfavorable view of him after 67 percent of respondents said they watched his disastrous debate performance. Trump’s performance earned him 4 points of undecided debate-watchers and another 3 points from those who were Biden supporters heading into the debate. There’s little question this has further eroded the political environment for Democrats.”
