Best case scenario is Harris wins and Trump has a heart attack on stage and dies like a dog.

It's OK, they are used to eating ####. They are Trump supporters.

Not all polls are created equal.

538 does a great job of weighting the various polls for quality.

Good news for the Dems I suppose is that two recent national polls give Harris a 2 point lead.

Bad news is that a recent high quality poll in PA gives Trump a 3 point lead. Without PA, Harris would need GA or NC and must have NV.

Georgia’s deep dive into the rampant voter fraud the last election has yielded fruit

Quote:
An audit uncovered 20 noncitizens out of 8.2 million registered voters in Georgia, according to findings announced by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday.

Nine of those 20 noncitizens cast ballots years ago, before ID verification checks were in place, while the other 11 were registered but never actually voted, the audit showed. Election officials canceled their voter registrations and reported them to law enforcement agencies.
Money well spent if you ask me.

Well I'm convinced, earmark $10 trillion for the complete federal audit.

We have a degenerate gambler thread, probably better to post in there.

538 is 52% Trump now so if you go back to October first it was 55% Harris. So a 7 point swing. Polymarket on October 1st was 50/50 and is now a 64-36.

Both show moves in the Trump direction.

Honestly considering betting some money on Harris at this point. She's basically back to where Biden was when he dropped out in terms of odds, and I just have difficulty believing that that's a bad buy. It still seems like a coin flip, albeit a slightly weighted one in favour of Trump.

No, Biden was +400 when he dropped out.

So serious question since we're on the degenerate gambling train: Can you parlay in politics gambling? Like parlay a Harris win + Dem senate + GOP house + Schumer Majority Leader + Johnson Majority Leader?

Maybe not anymore...Nate Silver left 538 in 2023 and took with him his forecasting model.

538, originally rendered as FiveThirtyEight, is an American website that focused on opinion poll analysis, politics, economics, and sports blogging in the United States.[2] Founder Nate Silver left in 2023, taking the rights to his forecasting model with him to his website Silver Bulletin.[3][4][5] 538's new owner Disney hired G. Elliott Morris to develop a new model.[3][4] On September 18, 2023, the original website domain at fivethirtyeight.com was closed, and web traffic became redirected to ABC News pages.[2] The logo was replaced, with the name 538 now used instead of FiveThirtyEight.

According to Mark Cuban, it's illegal to bet on the US election as a US citizen and Polymarket doesn't allow it.

AKA. The entire Polymarket for the US Election is foreign betters and thus even less than completely useless as a metric for who will win.

As if there aren't work arounds to it being illegal in the US. Especially since its crypto based.

Listened to this Freakonomics episode a while back and it has some interesting stuff about polls and the betting market.
