Ann Selzer is giving us quite the Halloween scare. What makes me feel better is that some of their House results are completely insane. It shows Republicans winning IA-01 by a 15-point margin. That district swung 12 points leftward in 2018 with Democrats winning by 5. I am very confident that it’s not shifting 20 points rightward this year. It seems like they just got a very conservative sample (and hey, props to them for publishing an outlier rather than herding). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Along the same lines, the other thing that I forgot to mention was that the 2016 vote of those polled was 41/40 Trump/Clinton, so given that almost no one in the poll who voted is switching sides, Biden lead is generated by those who did not vote in 2016 but plan to vote in 2020. So, it's another piece of data that indicates if there is high turnout it should be a plus for Biden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SoBeDad 2,243 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It's hard to predict Florida because about 300,000 new residents have come here yearly, on average, since 2016. That's over a million people - possibly over half a million new voters. Many have settled in the SW coast (Naples, Ft, Myers) and central (the Villlages) and north Florida which lean Republican. Many are escaping high tax states. On the other hand, there is greater enthusiasm among young voters and many more Puerto Ricans, who lean democrat. And about 70-80,000 felons who have had their voting rights restored. Harris is helping with the black and Caribbean voting block but hurting with Cubans and Venezuelans who view her as a socialist. Bernie would've easily lost in Florida, Biden has a chance, but if I had to bet, it would be for Trump to win Florida. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caustic 3,725 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Jon Ralston, the Nevada whisperer, is all but calling NV for Biden. Since a huge percentage of Nevadans vote early and there's an especially tight correlation between party registration & vote choice there, NV is the one battleground state where you can maybe glean some reliable information from the early voting stats. Quote Good morning, fellow ravenous data types. The Clark Dem firewall is now above 89,500 with a big new batch of mail that posted overnight. This is well above the 73,000-ballot firewall of 2016 and even above the 87,600 extrapolated number taking into account the increase in voters on the rolls since four years ago. If you look at the math below, it already was very difficult for Trump. Now he has less of a chance to win than he does of getting a gaming license in Nevada. I don't know how much more mail will be returned before Tuesday, nor do I know how many ballots will be rejected (the rate so far shows it doesn’t change the lead very much). But the dice are cast, and they look like snake eyes for the GOP. More than 400,000 ballots have been cast by mail in Clark County and more than 775,000 overall. The number of votes left for Election Day continues to dwindle, and the chances of an overwhelming GOP turnout to turn this around becomes less and less likely. More later, but the math is just not there for Trump. If you fire up the 538 simulator and give NV to Biden, his overall win probability goes from 90% to 95%. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
