Someone should do a poll regarding whether Americans prefer Dem policy platforms or Republican policy platforms. The tribe that prefers Republican policies (even if you have to infer it, as they do not like to say it out loud), but are terrified of siding with the Republicans for the social and status ramifications, is large and common. I dare say it’s the mainstream viewpoint among triple digit IQ lefties.

44…

Hmmm...Could account for some folks being a might testy about politics the last week.

45...
81 for the House.

There's something odd, though. The models still have the Dems maintaining control of the Senate 55 out of 100 times, but they also show the Republicans winning control of both houses to be more likely than Dems winning the Senate and Republicans winning the House.

Undecideds are breaking towards GOP, I suppose.

And some of the decided. The poll numbers among registered Democrats are going down…

If you're putting up money, 62% as of right now...

I’m chuckling because there seems to be an editorial difference of opinion at FiveThirtyEight. The number is still at 45-55 as there aren’t any polls coming through today, but the headline has changed three times from “Democrats are *Slightly * favored to win the Senate” to “It’s a Dead Heat for the Senate, then back to “Democrats are Slightly…” and now back to “Dead Heat”…

My guess is that somebody wants to keep giving the moral support to their side and Silver keeps overriding them and reminding them that the numbers are the numbers…

[LuFins Dad]

LOL

[LuFins Dad]

Aaaaaand it’s back to a Dead Heat

Well the title of the thread is “Trends.” Let’s see how that shakes out in 14 days.

Pelosi: I ‘cannot believe anybody would vote for’ GOP in midterms

I know how she feels, in the other direction

Such a sad admission, to not be able to understand other human beings. One would expect the party of compassion to be able to do so easily, as their core competency. But as always, when someone proudly claims to not be able to understand other people, it’s not because they’re stupid or unsympathetic. It’s because they have an excess of virtue.

New Hampshire is now in toss-up territory. 54 is a legitimate number for the Rs…

[Horace]

why are they italicizing those words? meant to remove doubt as to whether they're editorialized? Maybe the italics is meant to convey that they are defined labels for certain probability ranges.
