    @jon-nyc Sorry, I was. not more clear.

    "Electoral College Probability" and "Popular Vote Probability"

    Is the the % that they believe their final Electoral College Votes and Popular Vote are correct?

      Respectively the probabilities his model assigns to winning/losing the electoral college and popular votes. NOT a prediction of the vote outcome (those are later columns)

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Oh man, this is shaping to be one heck of a fun November. Wow I just realized I'll be at Disney World during it. LOL

        In 2016... I was at Bandon Dunes (golf) in Oregon, and woke up to the news of the Trump win.

              It’s the Crank Realignment RFK Jr endorsement.

              Let’s remember RFK was at 20% some months ago and 2% last week. By Election Day he should be a 6pt drag.

                    "More Coherent Joe Biden"

                    That's one damn long list...

                    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Who knows?

                      After her one interview, Kamala-lama-ding-dong may not do another. If she can keep the electorate from figuring out how goofy she is and the MSM keeps up the coronation music, all she has to do is survive the debate.

                      By that time, early voting starts and the Big Blue Machine kicks in. Throw in a jail sentence by Bragg's Boy and who knows what can happen?

                              Not a poll, a model based on all the polls and statistical data. And that model and statistician was the only one that gave Trump anything over 5%, Silver was the lone voice that started going on TV and warning that the pundits were wrong, and that Trump was starting to gain momentum and posed a significant chance of winning. He got laughed at and insulted by The NY Times and WaPo.

                              That model you point to doesn’t diminish my point or confidence, but actually reinforces it.

                                  I think the heavy interest with opinion polls is quite interesting psychologically. What does it matter who is "winning" in a two-party system where there is no real justification for tactical voting? Do people really change their preferred candidate based on the fact that they don't want to be on the losing team?

                                  I was only joking

                                    No, but they change their donation intentions… If it’s a close race, donors might go a little higher. If it’s trending downwards, they might either substantially increase or substantially decrease their donations.
