Also worth noting - there's about a 5-6 point shift nationally between battleground states and national polls

Ie - RCP national: Biden +9

RCP battleground: Biden +4.5

watch the rcp gap - already to turn sharply, will be steeper climb than 2016

oh my friend! you missed one of my megapoasts

Trump rallies aren't just badass lovefests of patriotic americans - they're sophisticated data collection operations that the Trump campaign has been using over last few years to drive targeting and ground efforts

Trump beat Hillary having no ground game, abandoned by GOP machine on the ground, gop senators distancing themselves thinking he would lose etc - and trump basically beat the Clinton political machine based on personality and rallies alone

Trump 2020 campaign effort is a completely different beast than 2016....

It means that - with almost 25% of 2016 votes having been counted in TX, ie high number of votes, during a voting period where Dems should be holding a disproportionate advantage in voting split - that the RCP polling average for TX right now is off by ~5 points

We also know that national polls are shifted compared to battleground polls by about +5-6 points in favor of Biden - ie Trump has consistently run about 5 points more favorable in the battleground states than in national polls

So national polls right now are rcp Biden +9, battleground rcp Biden +4.5, and Trump's battleground RCP against biden is better at this time in October than it was in 2016

But the main takeaways from TX so far is - Trump running 7 points more favorably than polls had him in TX right now during time that's supposed to be advantageous for Dems

And seeing many sources saying that there's good evidence the Romney / GWB vote that left Trump in 2016, is coming home big time - eg:

Trump won Denton County, a Dallas suburb, 57%/37%. Republicans currently lead 64%/26% in mail-in ballots returns and in-person early voting with 28% of the 2016 vote total in.

I'm looking at TargetSmart's Texas page, and it seems almost worthless; there were basically no early votes in 2016 compared to 2020 so it seems impossible to read much into a shift. Florida makes more sense, since there actually were a lot of early votes in 2016. And Florida looks bad, with Democrats doing a lot better than they did in 2016.

Oh sorry - there's a long explanation somewhere from the guy who runs in (a Democrat) who said you CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be making comparisons to 2016 / 2018

Really the best use is validating how representative the polls being put out are w/ EV/VBM as a validation set against the "already voted" subgroup in the poll, and general demographic signals / trends - to compare against 2016 you need an external source

There was a long analysis somewhere estimating that to win FL the GOP should hope to keep the margin below 700k

They collect the names of people who vote / VBM in voter files released daily - in states like FL, you'll have voting by actual party registration

In states like MI with no party registration it's a bit more difficult, but Dem digital marketing firm Targetsmart has a model on its site where you can choose a split "modeled party" - where they predict your party id based on your voter file (voting history), demographic data, as well as voter files that contain consumer data collected on all of us - so they can tell whether you or I subscribe to field and stream, NRA, purchase guns, or subscribe to NPR and purchase Ibram X Kendi books

Of course you don't actually know who people are voting for - but there are useful indicators / signals and predictive factors to look for that allow you to gauge enthusiasm, turnout, and maybe most significantly for now - allows you to validate how representative these media / university polls are by comparing the demographics of the "voted already" subgroup in the poll internals w/ the demographic patterns of people who have already voted

So for example in GA - we know the state polls that have been touted, even used by Nate Silver to come up w/ this absurd map: https://twitter.com/Barnes_Law/status/1317687849412481024?s=20

The GA polls that have Dems believing it's in play have blacks in mid-high 30s for share of voters, but it's only at 32-33, and has been declining quickly

Or another example - you can see youth vote is down 2-3 points, and similarly black vote down 2-3 points, very out of whack w/ polls

The assumptions that are driving the MSM polls are wrong. They have huge numbers for Biden because they expect lots of voters for Biden. The actual numbers of “Biden group” voters are much smaller so far.

Yes bingo - this more than anything is the main takeaway so far - that when the polls being put out have a subsample of ppl who have already voted, it gives you a direct way to validate the representativeness of their poll's sample, which is becoming blatantly clear is garbage

You can also make general inferences about demographics / how the electorate will look based on these discrepancies - b/c it's almost certain that the group of voters we're analyzing before ED from VBM/EV is going to be not only highly disproportionately Democrat but their most enthusiastic bases of support no less.

So when you see youth vote share down 2-3 points, black vote share down 3 or so points, that's not a great sign

Yes I do, that's the entire point actually

A recent trend has been Dems shifting to be disproportionately represented in the early vote

This year, their VBM push has amplified this effect - b/c remember each party had literally been telling their base for months "vote by mail" vs "you can't trust this mail fraud so vote on ED" (but also vbm if you need to)

Polls have also shown across the board, regardless of the type of poll - media, university, gallup / pew, etc - a significant split in voter intention to EV / VBM, w/ something like 3:1 Dems saying they'll vote before ED

Which comes to the crux of my argument and what I gather from various sources - we've been told these polls foretell a huge blue wave - in order to believe that and what these polls show as defection of republicans, crazy solidarity among Dems, increase in turnout etc - you'd have to believe the polls are representative. But there's a way to validate that w/ EV data - b/c the polls have an 'already voted' subgroup in the sample - and if the already voted subgroup looks nothing like the actual subgroup of the electorate who's already voted, then those polls' samples are representative of that electorate.... I'll do a new thread about how bad the polls are in a few min w/ updated info

The assumptions that are driving the MSM polls are wrong. They have huge numbers for Biden because they expect lots of voters for Biden. The actual numbers of “Biden group” voters are much smaller so far.

but isnt mail in voting is still ongoing plus election day is still to come. so the polling gaps could still come true after all voting is complete

not sure why you think a snap shot at any time should reflect the polling gap. this has no statistical relevance

So - the context for this comparison isn't about performance. You're right in that it's clearly the case that we don't know how these people are voting, and anything can happen, but VBM usually follow relatively predictable patterns in that you'll see diminishing returns, maybe uptick before ED, then ED

The context of these numbers stem from all the polling info about which party plans to vote when

Regardless of poll - university/media/gallup/PPD etc - every poll has found pretty similar splits in when each party's voters intend to vote, either VBM / EV vs ED

And it's a relatively recent trend (within last decade I believe) that Democrats skew earlier and will dominate EV / VBM split

For this election - all these polls have found that according to how ppl say when they're going to vote, the VBM / EV split should be about 3:1 - and really based on how disproportionate ED voting is Dems will generally want to run 75/25 or 3:1 at minimum to bank enough margins for the larger share of ED votes that will have a favorable R split

You're right that this doesn't tell us anything for sure - but this was in the context of my megapoasting on behaviorals and fundamentals vs polls (and even w/in polls there's a group much more accurate record being ignored)

The statistical reference however is that this gives us a decent validation of the sample representativeness in the polls being put out lately, because in those polls there's a subgroup of "already voted", which in that sample was a 3:1 D:R split... So ESPECIALLY in states like NC w/ party registration, you can use the early VBM / EV to validate the poll samples - so if the NC polls are telling us within their sample, the ones who already voted have done so at 3:1 D:R, but we see that the real D:R so far is under 2:1 - it tells us the sampling representativeness of that poll is way off

ok this is useful if true. i think your overall analysis is plausible but you must concede it involves a lot of assumptions and hand waving which is fine because its not easy to model elections especially across states that vary so much culturally,demographically etc. i think there are pathways for trump to win but you are way too optimistic while some of the bort libs are way too pessimistic about trump's chances. we will see soon i guess

my take:

"shy tory" effect is huge when libs have successfully made MAGA hat a white supremacist symbol. so every poll especially state polls is under counting trump support. and a lot of the polls are fucking crap - look at NYT poll showing biden +6 and some other poll showing biden +11 in michigan

what we dont know is how much to add in each state

Ie - VBM surges then rapidly diminishes, so if you see certain polling gaps eg 20 points apart, that's not likely to close in the final week or two

It's not about the polling gaps themselves, it's that the polls put out saying Biden is +8 nationally is a sample of people supposedly reflecting the electorate, among this sample of the electorate are a subgroup of people who have already voted - but if this subgroup of ppl who have already voted doesn't look anything like the subgroup of the electorate that has already voted, then that sample isn't actually representative of the electorate...
