Your recollection is correct (and it should be remembered that the Trump campaign itself did not expect to win, as evidenced by the fact they didn't bother in advance to draft a campaign acceptance speech). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Silver 2016 U.S. elections[edit] Main article: FiveThirtyEight: 2016 U.S. elections In the week leading up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the FiveThirtyEight team predicted that Hillary Clinton had a 64.5% chance of winning the election. Their final prediction on November 8, 2016, gave Clinton a 71% chance to win the 2016 United States presidential election,[89] while other major forecasters had predicted Clinton to win with at least an 85% to 99% probability.[90][91] Donald Trump won the election. FiveThirtyEight argued it projected a much higher chance (29%) of Donald Trump winning the presidency than other pollsters,[90] a projection which was criticized days before the election by Ryan Grim of The Huffington Post as "unskewing" too much in favor of Trump.[92] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snotbubbles 882 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, SaintsInDome2006 said: Well, maybe 3-5 states, though I wonder about that. Is anyone really familiar with Wisconsin polling in 2016? Is anyone now? Why is this so confusing? Yes, polls that said Hillary would win by 3% nationally were right. Yes, people consumed by horserace politics (I plead guilty) were wrong to assume MI, WI & PA were in the bag. Don't make the same mistake. No one should care (well maybe a little) about enthusiasm for Trump or Biden nationally. What's Dem enthusiasm in Philly and Detroit? How is GOP enthusiasm in Phoenix and Pittsburgh suburbs? IIRC 2016 came down to like 250 (?) counties. I can tell you here in Philly, it's very Democratic. They will vote Democrat even against their best interest. But the leadership of Gov. Wolf, Mayor Kenney and DA Larry Krasner has people starting to get pissed with the Democratic leadership here in Philly and the close suburbs. Obama in 2012 got 588,000 votes in Philly vs. 96,000 for Romney. In 2016, Hillary got 560,000 vs Trumps 105,000. My guess is Trump beats the 105,000 votes here in Philly. Does Biden get more than the 560,000 Hillary got? His ceiling is Obama's 588,000 but I don't think he sniffs that. At best you could see a return of the results of 2008 where Obama got 574,000 votes vs. 113,000 for McCain. So basically, a negligible increase for Biden at best, but I'm not sure Biden reaches 570,000. Looking at the results maps in PA the areas north of Philly matter more. They were blue for Obama and red for Trump. EDIT: Trump won PA by 78,000 votes. Biden is going to need way more than a bump in Philly. Gov. Wolf is doing his best to get people to vote Republican in November. Edited May 21, 2020 by Snotbubbles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

timschochet 33,223 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 You guys seem to be spending a lot of time trying to reassure each other why these polls don’t matter or are wrong (or in the case of one of you, why NO polls matter and they’re ALL wrong.) Why not just embrace reality? Let me offer an example: I am for pretty much wide open immigration to this country. At least 70% of Americans, both Republican and Democrat, disagree with me on this. So I’m not going to get what I want and the issue is a political loser for me. It’s always going to be a loser for me unless the public changes their mind about that. I seriously doubt they ever will. See? Was that so hard? Never once did I have to admit that I am wrong about that issue (I’m not; it’s the majority who’s wrong.) I just had to admit that in terms of public opinion I’m in the minority. I can deal with reality. Why not just admit: “Hey things look pretty bad for Trump right now. As a Trump supporter I sure hope that changes before November, but right now it doesn’t look good for me.” Why try to argue yourself into knots? Public opinion is what it is.

I'd imagine that Trump carried 2016 based on a combination of traditional Republican values, being a newcomer, Democratic fatigue and Hillary hate. 2018 showed that once Hillary (arguably right there with Trump as the most liked/disliked National political candidate of the past 40 years) was out of the picture and Trump wasn't the newcomer and actually had a political record......his party suffered.

How does this appeal to anyone?" And then suddenly you wake up one day and he's the President. Wouldn't be shocked if that is what happens with Biden. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd imagine bumping Philadelphia city turnout and then peeling away more of the educated white vote in the suburbs is the entire Biden playbook. Obama net about 62k more votes than Romney in Bucks/Chester/Montgomery in 2012. Clinton net about 120k more votes than Trump in those same counties in 2016. The biggest piece of the puzzle here is how much further can Ds fall in the rural rest of the state. Clinton still carries PA with Obama '12 rural margins. The bottom totally fell out there however leading to the narrow Trump win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mid-terms usually don't end up to well for the party that wins the general election. There is usually a lack of enthusiasm for the winning party and a wave for the losing party. Obama lost 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats. He did ok in 2012. Clinton lost 54 House and 10 Senate seats. He did ok. Trump lost 40 House seats and GAINED 2 Senate seats. So he definitely did better in the mid-terms than either of those two guys. Going back 100 years only FDR and Bush II didn't lose seats in their first mid-term. 2018 isn't even relevant for 2020 IMO. I base my thoughts on the voter turnout in the primaries. This isn't the article I wanted to link but it's good enough. The one I read the other day had charts and percentages of voter turnout in the primaries that showed a larger percentage of Republicans turned out to vote in the primaries than Democrats. But this article is a symptom of the enthusiasm problems Biden has and why I think he's going to lose in November. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/2020-democratic-primary-turnout-problems-960784/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Senator Kamala Harris last week introduced a resolution condemning the use of the phrase “Wuhan virus” to refer to SARS-CoV-2, the deadly coronavirus that has spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan across the globe, as racist. Harris introduced the resolution on Thursday, joined by fellow Democratic senators Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii. It aims to “condemn and denounce anti-Asian sentiment, racism, discrimination, and religious intolerance” related to the coronavirus, and specifically cites phrases such as “Wuhan virus,” “Chinese virus,” and “Kung-flu.” It also calls on federal officials to “expeditiously investigate and document” credible reports of hate crimes or threats against the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities and “investigate and prosecute perpetrators” if necessary. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/coronavirus-pandemic-senator-kamala-harris-introduces-resolution-condemning-use-of-wuhan-virus-as-racist/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, pretty safe to say Biden clearly isn’t the guy for that job. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/biden-said-desegregation-would-create-a-racial-jungle-2019-7%3famp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one I saw reported this: On March 24, 2020 here were the enthusiasm results. Trump supporters: 53% very, 32% somewhat, 14% not at all Buden supporters: 24% very, 49% somewhat, 26% not at all To compare Biden to Hillary was at 32% very. We'll see in the next couple months how the enthusiasm changes based on the coronavirus. If the recovery looks like it's going in the right direction, Trump should have some good enthusiasm results. This poll that came out from Fox News today is really bad news for Trump ”Among voters who are extremely motivated about voting this fall, Biden has a 12-point advantage (53-41 percent). More Biden supporters (69 percent) than Trump supporters (63 percent) feel extremely motivated to vote.“ I for sure expected Trump voters to be more motivated than Biden voters but if this is how it’s trending... yikes, Trump might be in serious trouble.

Is anyone really familiar with Wisconsin polling in 2016? Is anyone now? Why is this so confusing? Yes, polls that said Hillary would win by 3% nationally were right. Yes, people consumed by horserace politics (I plead guilty) were wrong to assume MI, WI & PA were in the bag. Don't make the same mistake. No one should care (well maybe a little) about enthusiasm for Trump or Biden nationally. What's Dem enthusiasm in Philly and Detroit? How is GOP enthusiasm in Phoenix and Pittsburgh suburbs? IIRC 2016 came down to like 250 (?) counties. You believe the polls and you trust them. Good for you....whatever gets you through the night. But they mean absolutely nothing and can be skewed to the will of the pollsters. As for me....I'll never believe 'one....never trust 'one....and never quote one. Well....that is....until the final one...the only one that counts for anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No they aren't and I never said or suggested that they were. They are just are just a snapshot in time, which may or may not be predictive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
