I thought the AtlasIntel polls were laughable until the results showed they got it right across the board. Kudos to them.

Enough data is in to offer our TOP POLLSTER RANKING for the 2024 NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE

Our standard is proximity to the Trump +1.6% winning margin (Trump 49.85% to Harris 48.27% as of Nov 26).

Note: We use how pollsters did in the “multi-candidate” (not head-to-head), and those within 1.0% of the winning margin.

1. Baris/Big Data Poll: Trump +1.7% (off 0.1%)
2. Wall Street Journal: Trump +2.0% (off 0.4%)
3. Atlas Intel: Trump +1.1% (off 0.5%)
4. Activote: Trump +1.0% (off 0.6%)
4. NY Times/Siena: Trump +1.0% (off 0.6%)
6. Rasmussen Reports: Trump +2.4% (off 0.8%)
6. Quantus Insights: Trump +0.8% (off 0.8%)
8. SoCal Strategies: Trump +0.7% (off 0.9%)

Note: Several other pollsters were within 1.5% and 2.0%, which is quite good.
Note: If a pollster only did head-to-head we used that.

If you see anything that is off let us know.

I believe it was @Spencer_York who thought Atlas was trash. 1st in 2020 and 3rd in 2024. Not bad heh?

And we all agree 100% that Ann Selzer was thrown a bag and trashed her reputation for it.
