Yeah, Emerson always seems to just move things up 1 point or down 1 point.  Always within +1/2 Trump to +1/2 Harris.  Never really deviates.

Nothing high quality post debate. 

but we are about 30 days from the last AZ polls by Fox/CNN so maybe we get 2 this week. Would like to see Siena get back in there too

Jesus Christ, take your fucking time guys.  Broke ass GQP can pump out polls every day, but others are like "Maybe we should get another poll out there.  Nah, I got my shows to catch up on first."

Well, high quality polls take actual time an effort, and bullshit polls that are half made up and call the same 100 people and get mostly the same answers are easy AF to spew out. So there's probably a reason they aren't flooding the zone with made up bullshit every other day. Or is that what you want?

Hey, if the game you’re watching is 24-23 at the start of the fourth quarter, you’re going to watch.  
 

It’s 73-0 you might be tempted to check out the other games.

It’s the kind of mistakes that get made by current AI.  So not only are we in a simulation, but the machine driving it isn’t very advanced.  Probably also explains why our current AI behaves as it does- it can’t be any better than the overriding AI.

I've decided to believe that come Election Day enough people will vote Kamala for a significant popular vote and EC victory. 

At this point I can't be bothered by "good" or "bad" polls as it seems impossible to trust methodology or even the people they are polling. Would rather be optimistic heading into a make or break moment for this country and our society, since we'll have plenty of time (a generation or two) to be devastated by another Trump victory.

The same way that some old people have smoked for 75 years and have no ill effects from doing so while others die at 50 from smoking. It's just a numbers game that we as a society have lost.

Re: NYT polls, Cohn tweeted these are Trump’s best polls and don’t totally match anything else, so they may just be outliers

NYT described their methodology as “if Trump voters are red M&Ms, we are adding a few extra to the bowl” - ie, over sample of rural/WWC voters

These polls are much more +GOP in weighing and the recall vote is like +3 Trump when Biden won AZ and GA by 1

I'm just not sure how you can accept polling that shows a 10 point swing in AZ in the space of a month without a major negative news event for the candidate who is now losing. That's almost you have to throw the entire poll out and start over thing.

I get that Biden trailed Trump pretty consistently by 5 pre debate collapse, but I'm also trying to square these numbers with the GOP getting kicked in the teeth over and over again for the last 4 years.  Maybe the change in the Latino vote is beginning to finally show up in Arizona?

Well, it's because Trump obviously won the debate with his quick wit and dedication to the facts.

This seems like the absolutely best case scenario if if Trump gets 90% vote share of the undecideds.  A good reminder that even given the trainwreck of his campaign, he can win.  We all need to vote early so election day shenanigans cannot happen.  People turned away, a shooting at a voting location early in the day that scares urban voters from standing in long lines, etc.

To be fair, people voting for Trump makes no sense at all. Yet millions and millions and millions of people have and will. So it doesn't need to make sense unfortunately.

Hey, remember all the polling from a year or so ago, that said that if Trump were to be convicted of a felony (or, say, 34 of them), that he would immediately lose so much support as to make him not even a viable candidate? I forget the exact numbers, but it was something like 10-15% of his supporters saying they would no longer vote for him. 

Guess that was all full of shit.

Nothing has happened at all to flip a state race 10 points in Trump’s favor in AZ or 5 points in NC

And no, I don’t believe that Slack’s unfounded Turning Point rumor flipped the polls 10 points in Trump’s favor

It’s absolutely 100% a thing, the 16->20 vote shift in the valley proved that in an alarming way. Dem party at large has zero idea how much so many Hispanic US citizens really don’t like* ‘the illegals’… throw on the machismo and abortion. 

*”don’t like” is probably too mild

I legitimately don't understand how polling is at all scientific or representative of what is happening. Nobody is answering fucking polls.

Yeah, they’re not really informative. They don’t affect me, there’s nothing I can do about them. There’s only one poll that’s going to matter. I’ll cast my vote in that one. I’ll be concerned until the final result is announced. Everything else is just noise.

[David Dennison 18641]

Here's the deal: If Kamala can get over 50% of the popular vote, she's probably going to win.

Does anyone really think she isn't going to get over 50% of the popular vote?

I tell myself this so I don't obsess about the election.

Serenity now.
