It's been fun hanging out with you guys in this thread. Looks like pretty much all the polls that are gonna get done are in, so I'll be hanging out in the early vote thread for the next day or two.

Talk to your friends, family, and acquaintances over the next two days and offer to get them to the polls if they are registered and haven't voted yet.

Thanks Captn_Ag05 and others who kept this thread going with updates!

Haha,


Hats off to staff on this thread. I really like how they are handling it and keeping these threads from derailing. That's how we get to 100+ pages. They have several good ones going right now.

WTH? Didn't he just post Trump with an 85% chance to win the EC?

No. That was a person taking one data point.

I bet it moves again. There were some crazy polls today

It's Nate Silver. All part of the plan.

I find pretty much all of this useless. One minute...this, next minute...that, totally inconsistent and becomes, "Blah, blah, blah". I don't believe the nation's actual consensus is that fluid or unstable.

That's how you know the data has entered "noise mode" and is now just all being manipulated to try to impact the actual Election Day voting.

Pretty much have to turn off the "data collecting" for these last few days and whatever happens between now and Tuesday evening

So silver is going against a key principle of his entire model. All you need to know.

His model says if Kamala has between a 0-.9% lead, Trump has an 85% chance of winning the election.

How can he even square that? I'm confused…

Silver's forecast is primarily based on state level polls rather than the national polling average. The actual forecasted Harris margin in the popular vote in his model is +2.1%, which is basically a coin flip.

Daugherty is willfully misstating what Silver is saying.

Than why does his site aggregate have Kamala with a .9% lead? He is picking and choosing and completely FOS.

So basically from here on out, the polls are not meant to inform but to influence.

That's a conditional probability - Prob of Trump Wins IF Harris wins popular vote by less than 1. Each of those scenarios has probability attached to it, in actuality

Prob(Trump Wins) = Prob(Trump win given Scenario A1 occurs)*Prob(Scenario A)1 + Prob(Trump win given Scenario A2)*Prob(Scenario A2) +... +Prob(Trump win given Scenario An)*Prob(Scenario An)

He gave you Prob(Trump win given Scenario A1 occurs)

The polling average (which is not behind the paywall) shows Harris lead of 0.7% in national polling averages. The national polling averages are not the model's prediction (which is behind the paywall, and is currently Harris +2%), as I explained above.

So his own model ignores his probability factor? I'm not a statistician and probably coming across as an idiot, but if his own polling aggregator that he assigns weights to is within the probability range he assigns to it, why does his final projection deviate from that?

On simple terms, why is he applying a 2.1% national vote factor when his own polling aggregate is .9%?

I don't follow all that closely to what Silver does, but Eric either lied or didn't know what he was giving out.

That poll was done in 1 day with ~450 LV, obviously as a counter/check on Selzer's work. It's in line with Emerson, but don't know what kind of validity to give it since it appears rushed.
