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…

LOL

Aaaaaand it’s back to a Dead Heat

46, if anybody is still interested.

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.

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

You can play with the model here by picking the winners of some of the more contested states. If Budd wins in NC (where he is strongly favored), tge model favors Republicans 59-41. If Budd and Vance both win, it jumps to 67-33. These are races that Rams are projected to win…https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-flip-senate-house/

Well, at least 2016 taught us how accurate polls are. LOL

There were no new lessons. We already knew the two primary lessons of 2016, but the media just ignored it.

Republicans typically perform better at the voting booth than they do in the polls…

Far more important than the actual poll numbers are the trends. Nate Silver was excoriated in the media for pointing out the trends were going in Trump’s favor and that it would be close. He also pointed out that Trump was easily within the margin of error of most polls. He was worse than ignored…
