It happened. No amount of spinning can change this fact. Again, this shouldn't be a partisan issue.

KD in CA Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I see the media is dusting off the "if we keep saying Trump is going to lose by a mile maybe his supporters won't show up to vote" strategy. I wonder if they've fine tuned it since 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registered Republicans account for just 17 percent of the ballots, down from 37 percent in 2016. And in Pennsylvania, a state at the heart of Trump's reelection strategy, registered Democrats have cast more than three-quarters of all ballots.

There are a couple of things that these stats suggest: 1) Many registered Republicans are going to stay on the sidelines this election cycle 2) Trump's attempts to suppress the mail-in/absentee vote looks to be blowing up in his face: mail in voting is not only significantly up in every state that has it, but it also seems to be suppressing Republican mail in voting while increasing Democratic mail-in voting. 12 hours ago, KD in CA said: I guess we'll see if that means there are more Dem voters in total.

That's a good point I never thought about. I think a majority of Dems have tuned out Trump and understand his lies vs what's real. Republicans still listen to him. So with that in mind, it wouldn't see surprising to see Democrats vote early in the same manner and the Republican vote actually end up being supressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/520627-good-bad-and-ugly-making-sense-of-the-polls A very good, fair article, echoing some of the things we've been saying here -- not all polls are created equal, watch the sample sizes and turnout models, etc. Interesting take on Rasmussen for example: Rassmussen — long considered a pro-Trump and GOP polling firm — has consistently shown better numbers for Trump over the past four years. But Rassmussen reports only “likely voters” not just registered voters, which tends to favor Trump. Rassmussen likely has a model that thinks more Republican voters will turn out. However, without the crosstabs, we cannot be certain. Recent Rassmussen polling has turned sharply against Trump, going from a 48-47 percent Biden advantage on Sept. 22 to a 52-40 percent advantage on Oct. 6. Although Trump has been losing ground, that’s a big move, and my bet is that Rassmussen adjusted its turnout model. If so, credit Rassmussen for changing its methodology to reflect how it sees the race unfolding. But it would help if it would make public its sampling composition.

One caveat to this is she lost about three points nationally right after Comey came out with the October surprise of Weiner's laptop. Trump will win NC again though.

The entire 2016 saw a ton of movement, see here: The 2020 election has not seen anything like above. It's been relatively flat for Biden and Trump. Plus don't forget there was a big swing in votes after the Comey election. 3 hours ago, Doc Brown said: This is all baked into the polls. Early voting numbers don't matter whatsoever.

If Trump is within four points of the state poll average I just assume he'll win. I would agree with you on early voting numbers in any other year. However, a much larger set of the population is early voting than ever before due to COVID. NC I think goes Trump of any of the swing states.
