It’s not going to be a complete helix. My guess is you’ll see the each turn get smaller.

@jon-nyc I meant to ask, where is he putting the odds of a 269 split?

0.2%

[LuFins Dad]

That’s dropped since Biden dropped out. I seem to recall it being as high as 4-5%

The fat man’s fall continues.

EC tie probability up to 0.3.

Trump’s favorability rating - 10pts underwater.

Harris’ is +0.3

[LuFins Dad]

As you pointed out yourself, 53-46) in probability is a tossup.

I wish we could stop pretending that this is an election to decide on the best candidate for the country and start admitting that whoever's going to win is arbitrarily ahead in the polls on that particular day. It's not like anyone in the country whose financial future is tied to a particular candidate actually likes any of these people.

She's had 90%+ favorable publicity from every major broadcast media and every cable media, with the exception of FOX, for her entire candidacy. Trump has been 95% negative.

She ought to be better than than that.

Weird, RCP shows a .2 drop for Kamala this morning, but I haven’t seen any polls posted to support the drop.

Probably just changing weights as polls age.

Yes.

Ax can't imagine why Silver would want to post a link to that.

Ax's imagination should be studied by scientists.
