Political Discussion
When the aggregators are using the GOP junk polls, the result it junk, which is what you are citing. If you aggregate the "A rated" polls only, you get a different result. also, polling is not what any9one should be focused on right now, but rather the early voting/GOTV which is what Harris is doing. |
Real Clear Politics does not use “garbage polls.” What garbage polls are they using? Atlas Intel? Bloomberg? The NYT? And Trump has the founder of Tesla and the new US space program running logistics and tech for his GOTV program. I would be bullish on his chances to outperform his GOTV efforts in 2016 in 2020 because of that. |
RCP used junk polls to predict that this current Senate, which is 51-49 D, would be 53-47 R after the 2022 election. |
Read what Elon offered. It wasn't "paying campaign staffers" as you falsely assert. |
I do worry about what shenanigans Musk and Thiel are up to behind the scenes. Two things help me sleep at night 1 - Musk spent a boatload trying to unseat the Democratic DA in Austin and lost. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/elon-musk-texas-da-jose-garza-oust-atempt-206db043?mod=hp_lead_pos9 2 - With as many republicans as I know voting for Harris, I wonder if their GOTV efforts will backfire. |
Biden won by 4.5. He won Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania by less than 1.5. So a 1.5 improvement by Trump in 2020 makes him the winner. It is reasonable to think that H+3 favors Trump slightly. |
I notice how people trying to show R bias in polls only show elections that Trump is not running in. Trump is outperforming Rs in Senate races by more than 10 points in some states. Look at how he over-performed in 2016 and 2020. Those are the comparisons, not elections where he wasn’t on the ballot. |

+1 I posted early voting data upthread this morning and while I was searching I did see that in Virginia, there are several Republican counties in which the early voting numbers are up relative to 2020. But this is Trump’s third time out, there were a number of Haley primary voters who were trying to let the GOP know that they have had enough MAGA. There are a lot of people fed up with the GOP’s crimes and wheel spinning. I don’t know how all those people are voting, obviously, but the Pennsylvania 10th and the Fairbanks mayor, along with Democrats outstripping the polling everywhere since Dobbs… if I were a Republican, I would stop wrapping myself in the cozy blanket of friendly polling and would look around. |
The cult of Elon is just imagining things. |
The only thing that I can conclude, with certainty, from your statements is that you are not a statistician. |
MAGA fever dreams. |
