Current Electoral Math

Sorry, raising $540 million and signing up 200,000 volunteers is more than a honeymoon bounce. This election will be decided by the GOTV effort. Trump has hardly none.

did you look at the average of polls I listed from 538?

nc -1
mi -1
pa -1

also, no necessarily. She got a bounce up from not being Biden, she’s still not Biden. But she’s gotten all she’s gonna get out of that.

Now she’s trying to get a bump out of not being Trump… that’s not working so well, because she’s still her.

didn’t have the funds or the GOTV in 2016 either.

LOL

try again

ā€œPlaygroundā€ should have been a FBI-level clue.

The bounce was probably Democrats who didn’t feel Biden was capable of being President who came back to the party when he was replaced with someone who was at least of acceptable mental condition. I can’t see why that would go back or increase on its own. We are now still left with a close race but one slightly more favorable to Democrats.

Nonsense. We still have not seen her in any unscripted situation. Only when the real Kamala speaks will the masses see who she is.

I was a bit surprised that she didn’t get much out of the Convention. Most candidates do. On the other hand, Trump didn’t either.

September 10th …

That was the Biden is out bump.

You might want to check your numbers there. $540 billion? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Thanks for the heads up Samm. Didn’t see the typo. :+1:

you actually believe she raised that? Funny

Of course she did and a large chunck of it went here.

I’ll believe when the numbers for August come out.

and LOL… 200M for spam ads

Just stop. Most of what you are giving her credit for raising was already pledged to Biden but withheld when his dementia became too obvious to hide anymore. Those donors told the DNC to get someone else to replace Biden or they would keep their money. They released the money within a week of him dropping out before she was named as the candidate.

Just wondering, but has anyone ever voted for someone because of a spam ad? :thinking:

I voted for John Cleese (best lumberjack) because of spam

Fair enough analysis. Cannot say I agree but its food for thought.

I’m referring to the real candidates … ones who place TV ads, send out tons of campaign appeals in the mail and send minions to knock on your door … and who spam your email and phone. Has one of those spam ads ever convince you to vote for them?

Electoral Template. Change to 2-way polling. The race has tightened post DNC and has mostly frozen where it’s at. Basically, a tossup.

Note: Only one poll today which resulted predictably in… no change.

Contested states (lead is >0 but <4 and leader (over 3 pts) has broken 50% in fewer than 2 polls)

WI: Harris up 1+ has broken 50% in one poll
MI: Harris up 1+ has broken 50% in one poll
PA: Tie Harris has broken 50% in one poll
GA: Harris up <1 both have broken 50% in one poll
AZ: Trump up 1 has broken 50% in one poll
NC: Trump up <1 has broken 50% in one poll
NV: Harris up <1 has broken 50% in one poll

Note: Harris has broken 50% in two AZ polls
Note: Harris lead in WI is due to one outlier poll +8

Competitive (lead is >3 but <7 and leader (over 6) has broken 50% in fewer than 2 polls)

MN: Harris up 5+ has broken 50% in one poll
VA: Harris up 4 has not broken 50% in any poll
NH: Harris up 5 has broken 50% in three polls.
FL: Trump up 6+ has broken 50% in one poll

Note: MN drops from marginal to competitive

Marginal (lead is >6 but <9 and leader (over 8) has broken 50% in fewer than 3 polls)

OH: Trump up 8+ has broken 50% in two polls

Note: If Harris wins the states where she has a lead she wins with 273 EV’s

Note: Without the outlier in WI, (Harris +8), Trump wins with 275 EV’s
