With the usual caveat about polls shmolls:
Margin of error: 1%
“#Harris is leading #Trump nationally by 6 points, according to a polling released a week after the first debate between the major party nominees.
The Morning Consult survey, published Tuesday, found Harris garnered 51% support among likely voters — her highest margin to date — compared to Trump’s 45%.”

I seem to recall that a lot of people say that national polls aren't as significant as local or state polls but still, I'll take it!
Like you I think polls are BS but Simon Rosenberg makes a good point that it's okay to have good news and it makes people that don't follow politics like we do excited and they see that their time and money would be well spent supporting and voting for Harris/Walz

2/ So I put my opener in the above toot there for a reason. I preface every poll I post with a caveat.
No need to keep telling me that the only poll that counts is at the ballot box. You don’t think we all know that by now? We pretty much say this every election cycle.
Sigh. Love you, but please, let’s just appreciate an upbeat snapshot for one day AS WE KEEP FIGHTING/ VOTING.
That’s the ONLY reason I post these: Encouragement, joy, hope, momentum.
Kthxbye.

@TCatInReality And that’s just it, thank you! I always provide context, yet people insist on replying the same old way anyway.

Exactly right!
According to Simon Rosenberg, who really understands these things (Hopium Chronicles https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/kamala-won-polling-is-good-trump 8:37)
"A virtuous cycle is where we're doing well, more people come our way, Joy generates joy and more people and we sort of kick in this virtuous cycle where more money comes in, we reach more voters, our campaign gets stronger and bigger and we just keep getting bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger as we get closer to election day."

It's to early to know for sure, but the Harris Campaign may be entering a virtuous cycle. This would be a very good thing.
On the other hand...(more Rosenberg)
"They [Trump] may last night [debate] have begun to enter a vicious cycle where there is doubt about the candidate, where people hold back their money, where they don't volunteer and their thing starts to erode, right? I don't know that yet, but it's very possible..."
So, thanks Laffy for all the good news!
