    Clinton 49.2 Trump 44.9 Johnson 4.8 Stein 0.8%, everyone else combined 0.2%
    Electoral College Clinton 328 Trump 210 http://www.270towin.com/maps/VgBZ

    GOP retains House, Senate 50/50, giving Dems control by virtue of Kaine.

    I’m still liking what I said earlier. I might have underestimated Stein by a point (which are lost Clinton votes) and maybe overestimated Johnson (which are gained Trump votes). It also looks like link rot got to my electoral college map, and I can’t remember the exact states.

    this might have been what it was, the electoral vote numbers are the same.Report

    • Kolohe in reply to Kolohe says:

      Here’s my US Senate map. My electoral college map is probably wrong above wrt New Hampshire, because there’s no way Trump wins the state and Ayotte doesn’t win her re-election – and right now, things are breaking in a way that both Trump and Ayotte lose in NH. So my final electoral college prediction is this map, with Clinton 322, Trump 216.Report

  2. Autolukos says:

    In the previous thread, I think I overestimated the third party vote share and somewhat underestimated Clinton’s EC performance. Final prediction: Clinton 50, Trump 45, Johnson 4, others 1; Clinton 341-197 in the EC, on this map.Report

    • Burt Likko in reply to Autolukos says:

      Your map, @autolukos, looks similar to mine (my more current prediction) below. Differences are Maine-2, North Carolina, and Ohio. You say Clinton carries them, I say Trump does.

      I notice we both think she takes Florida, which is another very close call. But note that even on my more pessimistic (which is to equate pessimism with a strong showing by Trump) map, flipping Florida to the GOP still results in a Clinton win, albeit a squeaker rather than a triumph.Report

    Today’s cinematic scenario:
    Trump wins, 50%-48% (Yes, there’s a Civil War in the Powers that Be, this is spillover).
    Trump pardons Clinton (Trump is indeed too stupid to see this as a problem).
    A few days later, someone assassinates Trump.[Q: Left or Right? A: Rightwing Loony].
    Say hello to President Pence.

    [Given that Trump appears to have gotten some of his campaign ideas from Doctor Who (someone sent him their notes), this may not be as farfetched as you might think.]Report

    • Burt Likko in reply to Kim says:

      Even if Trump is elected — a result which will make me very very unhappy — I would not want him to be assassinated. Period, full stop. Some kinds of national concerns must, and do, transcend partisanship or other forms of political distaste for particular officeholders.

      I would want his Presidency to be frustrating, I would want his policies to be obstructed and his appointments kept in strong check by an independent and politically counterbalanced Senate (and maybe even a House), and I would want to see him as restrained by aides as much as possible when making public speeches. I would wish for him to be a singularly ineffective President and for him to be voted out of office in 2020. Were and when we to go to war under a President Trump, I would hope (faintly) for a swift victory even knowing that he would claim credit for it.

      An assassination would do the whole country tremendous damage. An impeachment, too, although different kinds of damage and in different ways. Better to muddle through with bad people in office and await the results of the next election cycle.Report

        The Trump presidency would really be the Pence presidency, even assuming Trump doesn’t ragequit.Report

        • Will Truman in reply to Morat20 says:

          I don’t think this is true. It’s not clear Pence really has much currency with Trump. I think it’s more likely to be a mess of cacophonic voices with Trump as the in-and-out decider.Report

          • Troublesome Frog in reply to Will Truman says:

            That sounds more like it. Trump wouldn’t be interested in doing the day to drudge work, so he’d appoint people from his clearly elite squad of trusted advisers to do it. This should not make us feel better.

            And if Trump won, he’d certainly have Republicans in the House and Senate. I’m not sure how the party that couldn’t keep him in check during the primaries and election would go about keeping him in check once he was actually sitting in the Oval Office. At least a Democratic Congress could oppose his agenda without losing votes from their constituents. A Republican Congress would quail the first time he railed against them in a press conference for not getting things done.Report

              Easily. The donors want “not trump” and you’d get at worst a detente and at best a recession in Imperial Presidency Power.

              We have secret laws on the books, now. You can’t even read them without a security clearance.

              It is worth it, at this point, to elect a REALLY unpopular president, just to have him cede some authority to Everyone Else In WashingtonReport

          • Kim in reply to Will Truman says:

            Trump was bought off. Then he proved so inept at losing that they had to bring out the big guns (all that stuff about him being a mysogynistic ahole).
            You should listen to Trump apologizing for proving too likeable.Report

            Will Truman: cacophonic voices with Trump as the in-and-out decider.

            He’s certainly not going to be the Del Taco decider.

      • Kim in reply to Burt Likko says:

        Burt,
        This is a prediction, a malediction even, not a “I want this to happen.”
        I consider it marginally more likely than Trump taking office.

              • Kim in reply to Mo says:

                1) They vastly overestimated their PR.
                2) At some point, fixing the vote totals becomes obvious. You can pretty much get away with a 3% swing, or even a 5%, but any more than that, and you’re pretty much at the “warning, do not do this” level.
                3) They got surprised.

                The Powers that Be have both Clinton and Trump in the bag, so they’re less likely to care about this than Brexit, which they really, really didn’t want.Report

    I think it will be a plurality election with Clinton winning between 48 or 49 percent of the vote.

    Looks like Latino voting is going to help Clinton in Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina. Maybe Arizona and Georgia but probably not.

    Wild cards: Patrick Murphy picks up a surprise victory because of record Latino turnout in Florida. So does Ted Strickland for Ohio. Burr losses NC if HRC wins the state.

      • Chip Daniels in reply to Burt Likko says:

        Although this doesn’t look like the year Texas flips, its not outside the realm of possibility.
        These polls at PEC show that Team Red is pulling just under 50%, with Team Blue around 40%.
        A surge in Latino votes not picked up by pollsters, lack of a ground game by Trump, and these numbers could swing a few points.

        Not enough to flip, this year. But 2020 is looking pretty good.Report

        • I know these things! And I’m fascinated to see how the slow gain of demographic creep will play out against the straightjacket of overt gerrymandering there.

          But this isn’t going to be the year that the state as a whole flips and legislative control gets out of sync with the statewide popular vote. An 8-10% differential means that Texas is still deep red.Report

          • Will Truman in reply to Burt Likko says:

            Depends on where the losses are. Texas has a lot of educated whites who vote Republican. If they vote Democratic, and if he loses too many Hispanics (and inspires them to vote against him) we could see a much larger swing there than we see nationally.

            There are reasons Texas and Georgia are polling more closely than they should, I can’t remember who pointed it out, but the Republican coalition is moving north and the Democratic one is moving south. Maybe. It could be that tomorrow, educated whites and men and women end up roughly where they were in 2012.

            (I should note that I’ve long been a skeptic of Blue Texas. For all of the demographic changes, it just hasn’t budged. It’s the revolution that never seems to come. But if there’s a reshuffling of the electorate, that would redound to the benefit of Democrats far more than the creep of demographic change that hasn’t.)Report

      • Morat20 in reply to Burt Likko says:

        I think Clinton loses Texas by about half of what Obama lost Texas by, and that half of that change is permanent — not uniquely anti-Trump, so much as ‘solidified Democrat’. (New voters, mostly, and some people who finally said “Screw it”. Texas is pretty much a one-party state at the top, so when the tipping point finally comes — the collapse will be epic.

          • Mike Schilling in reply to notmme says:

            Obama was telling citizens (people who were born here) whose parents aren’t here legally not to be afraid to vote. That’s why he used the word “citizen”. Duh.Report

            • notme in reply to Mike Schilling says:

              While speaking with Obama on Friday, Mitú’s Gina Rodriguez said: “Many of the millennials, DREAMers, undocumented citizens — and I call them citizens because they contribute to this country — are fearful of voting.”

              She then asked: “So, if I vote, will immigration [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] know where I live? Will they come for my family and deport us?”

              “Not true,” Obama responded. “First of all, when you vote, you are a citizen yourself, and there is not a situation where the voting rolls are transferred over and people start investigating, et cetera.”

              “The sanctity of the vote is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for,” Obama said.

              Illegals shouldn’t fear voting is the only message I see. Otherwise why even mention them at all? Obama seemed perfectly fine with the idea of illegals voting.Report

                As Mike pointed out to you already, reading comprehension could use work.

                That very clearly means:

                “If you are voting, it means you must already be a citizen. We are not sending lists of citizens with Latin names to immigration officials so they can check whether there are non-citizens living alongside citizens who have voted.”

                I don’t think you’re stupid, notme – I think you’re reasonably intelligent and are only able to sustain this level of incomprehension through a sustained effort at suppressing your own intelligence.Report

        • Michael Cain in reply to Mo says:

          As many of the other forecasting pundits have written, the USC tracking poll is an interesting experiment that tries to measure things in different ways. It’s not surprising that some of the assumptions built into a new model are wrong and result in a systematic bias. Eg, Nate Silver points out that when you ask people who they voted for in the previous Presidential election, as the USC poll does, there’s a significant number of people who lie/misremember in favor of the winner.

          The map is a separate opinion of several of their writers who consider all sorts of information beside the USC poll.Report

          • Pillsy in reply to Michael Cain says:

            Ernie Tadeschi (@ernietadeschi on Twitter) has done the experiment of reweighing the USC poll based on US census data without paying attention to who people said they voted for last time; doing so has lead to results that look a lot more like those of other polls.

            It’s not a slam dunk argument that this is the right way to do things, but I think it does at least wink suggestively in that direction.Report

      • LeeEsq in reply to North says:

        I think you mean either, not neither. Comey’s actions is not only a breach of a very big norm, it was arguably illegal rather than an act of constitutional hardball.Report

        • Morat20 in reply to LeeEsq says:

          For what it’s worth, I have an acquaintance (he’s a friend of my brother’s) who works in the FBI. (Not a field agent, analysis side). My brother asked about the whole Comey thing when it happened, and he said something like “I’ve never seen anyone try that hard to get fired”.

          This was, IIRC, before the OTHER set of leaks implicating people in the NY field office (former and current) that seemed to be really good friends of Rudy Guiliani, and the implications that had.

          He might have a different take now, but his first take after the letter was leaked was that Comey wasn’t courting firing, he was jumping up and down and demanding it.

          (For what it’s worth, this guy is…really conservative. Probably not a Trump voter, but no fan of Clinton at all. He’s also Got Opinions about field agents in general. I got the distinct impression that the field agents and the analysis folks do not always see eye to eye).Report

        No. The landslide hopes were killed when the Dems decided it was good politics to give the nomination to a fair-at-best politician who wasn’t particularly likable or popular.Report

        • LeeEsq in reply to Tod Kelly says:

          Not this again. Clinton won the Democratic nomination for the same reason that Trump one the Republican nomination, she was the most popular with the majority of the people involved in intra-Democratic politics. Many more people supported her than Bernie Sanders, her nearest rival. Everybody else who entered the Democratic primary had no chances but unlike the Republican primary, clearly realized it and dropped out. Even assuming everything you believe about Hillary Clinton is correct, who else could the Democratic Party nominate in her stead? She was the most nationally well known politician in the Democratic Party not named Obama who wanted the job. Warren wanted to remain in the Senate. Biden wanted to retire for a variety of reasons.

          I also think that the constant fake scandals that the press drummed up against Hillary Clinton since the 1990s is the cause of a lot of the hatred against her. She was a relatively popular Senator and Secretary of State. Clinton surged in popularity whenever the press was not on her back and had her polls drop when the press was on her back. Donald Trump does better when he is not really in the national spotlight and fails when he can access his Twitter account.Report

          • Will Truman in reply to LeeEsq says:

            I think you’ve missed the point. Nothing you say here changes the dynamics that made it especially hard for Clinton to win by a large margin compared to another candidate. So not “this again” but rather “still this.”Report

          • dragonfrog in reply to LeeEsq says:

            My impression has been that Sanders achieved the goal he set out to: to move the Overton window to the left. He didn’t drop out of the race because the actual nomination was a very distant stretch goal to him.

            The other Democratic candidates for nomination dropped out because their goals were to win, with any considerations of effecting political change through the primary campaign itself distant to nonexistent.Report

            • Troublesome Frog in reply to dragonfrog says:

              He’s also a national star now who can lay his hands upon state-level political issues all over the place and offer unto them his Bernie Sanders blessing, thus giving them a bump among young liberal voters. I don’t think he had that super power before the primary.Report

          • Mo in reply to LeeEsq says:

            Hillary’s success is more do to winning the hidden primary before any votes were cast. That is where she gained enough institutional support to clear the deck of all credible opponents. I say this not as a criticism of her, but rather that she largely won before a single primary was held. I am convinced that this was 90% of Bernie’s popularity. If someone like Hickenlooper or Biden jumped in, she would have been less likely to win.Report

                Eh, I like Feingold, but he’s very popular with upper middle class white people who have very different priorities than the rest of the party. He’d have the same problem that Bernie had – the actual base of the Democratic Party is working class African American and Hispanic voters based on transactional politicians with long established ties, not inspirational figures. These voters don’t really care about the Patriot Act, and Iraq War vote from 10 years previous, or campaign finance reform.

          • Michael Cain in reply to LeeEsq says:

            I love when you guys argue things that are essentially regional differences :^)

            Outside of their home state and Senate leadership, there’s no such thing as a “popular” Senator. Most voters are hard pressed to tell you who their two US Senators are most of the time. Perhaps in neighboring states in the Northeast, where metro areas are much more likely to cross state lines. (Quick, who’s the junior Senator from Oregon?)

            Ditto for Secretary of State, mostly viewed as the President’s top paid arm twister, not a source for foreign policy.

            Look at the primary maps that show the Clinton-Sanders split (this one, say). She did extraordinarily well in the Deep South (not that that will bring many EC votes with it), moderately well in the Rust Belt and California, and skimmed by in the Southwest. There’s a big chunk of the country from the upper Midwest across to the Pacific (including northern Nevada and California above the SF metro area) where Bernie kicked her butt.

            The Dems are running a NE urban corridor ticket this year. Blue states in the rest of the country will vote for that ticket, but they weren’t ever going to be enthusiastic about it.Report

          • Kim in reply to LeeEsq says:

            Lee,
            When Clinton forcibly removed Bernie Sanders voters from the election, I don’t think you get to say that she “won” the vote for being the most popular.

            P.S. No, this is not a reason NOT to vote for her. Didn’t you say you liked someone like LBJ?

            Bernie would be winning with a larger margin. Even Republicans like Bernie — they say “At least he’s honest” (And I’ve got that out of a pollster’s mouth).Report

            • Jesse Ewiak in reply to Will Truman says:

              Yup, she’s been up by about 6-8 points since the Convention, with most of the differences being shown by Republicans or Democrats simply not answering polls due to being depressed about the news, not the actual opinions of 300 million Americans changing all that much.

              Ironically, I think the big thing that has actually shifted the most votes is Gary Johnson screwing up foreign policy questions and likely pushing a lot of Johnson voters back to Trump, Clinton, or not voting. It might’ve cost the Libertarians millions of dollars in public funding.Report

            • This. Forecasters who take other factors (eg, the economy, historical state voting trends) into account have been around four percentage points in the national vote count and 300-320 EC votes all along. That the median polls have converged to about that here at the end is, in some ways, disturbing.Report

              • I’m an icky anti-science poll skeptic, but I can actually think of a benign explanation. If one of the main differences in polling is response rates, than two weeks out people who are winning are more enthusiastic than people who aren’t. However, in the final days of the campaign, everyone is checked in and ready to go. And so things start to line up with other forecast models that don’t depend on response rates.Report

        • Morat20 in reply to Tod Kelly says:

          “Give”?

          I seem to recall an election, with a rather lot of voters, that she won by more than three million votes. With a proportional delegation system designed, in fact, to allow lesser known candidates to stay in the game long enough to really compete, instead of it all being decided in Iowa and NH.

          That’s a funny way to “give” someone something.

          Who did the “giving”, actually?Report

  6. Morat20 says:

    Offhand, I’d say Clinton beats her polls in swing states by an average of 2 points (possibly 3, but more likely 2), and nationwide by about a point and a half, and wins by about 5 points. Call it 49-50/44-45.

    Trump will claim this is proof it’s “rigged”. (Everyone else will take this as proof that, indeed, modern GOTV operations are far superior to rallies+commercials).

    Senate goes 51-49.

    It’s been a 3 to 4 point race the entire time, and I think her massive GOTV edge will bump that a point from polls.Report

    I almost certainly overestimated the third-party effects, but otherwise feel good about what I said last time.

    I suspect that Clinton will win, but it will be something like 49-48 with 3% going to the nutball parties. It’ll be one of those elections where we’ll point to a single state that came close to going Trump and say “man, if this state went 48-49 instead of 49-48, we’d have a President Trump now!”

  10. Burt Likko says:

    Way back when, I said this:

    http://www.270towin.com/maps/DAp1n
    Popular vote: Clinton c. 51%, Trump c. 43%, Johnson c. 5%. See further.
    To be followed by much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    Clinton looks much less strong now, or perhaps it’s that Trump looks stronger although if so it’s in spite of the candidate and because of external events (Comey) and professionals (Kellyanne Conway taking Donald’s twitter away from him). There is also the possibility that the once-commanding Clinton lead was illusory, and what we’re seeing now is a reversion to something resembling even partisan balance that is really based in matters that transcend any candidate or set of candidates.

    Now, it still seems to me that Clinton can play the map. And the basic map still looks good for her, notwithstanding the hits she’s taken recently. So knowing what I know now, reading the polls as I see them know, here are my predictions:

    1. Presidency: Clinton 307 EV and 49% PV, Trump 231 EV and 46% PV.
    1a. Johnson gets about 3%.
    1b. McMullin comes in second in Utah but Trump still wins by a plurality. Not that it matters with Clinton taking a majority of EC votes.
    1c. A few notes about my predictive map: North Carolina goes GOP thanks to the purge of voter rolls there, which results in DoJ litigation against the state that lasts years because, after all, Republican lawmakers targeted African-American voters to make that happen. Substantial but ultimately we’ll-never-know-for-sure evidence will emerge that North Carolina would have voted Clinton. Also, I am still at something of a loss for how Ohio would vote Republican but Pennsylvania would vote Democratic, but that’s the way the polls have been going for more than a month now. Arizona will be the closest election.

    2. The Senate splits 50-50, giving the Democrats nominal control of the Senate by virtue of the Vice Presidency. (Agree with @kolohe here).

    3. Democrats have a net gain of 10 seats in the House, which is considered a disappointment for them and enough of a stoploss that Paul Ryan maintains the Speakership.

    4. Republicans will fail to learn any meaningful lessons at all from the election and are doomed to ultimately futile attempts to reconcile Trumpian nationalism, now-exposed white privilegists, supply-siders, and religious socons. No one in the party will have the guts to say “We can win without the most obnoxious of these faction members” and initiate a 1968-style purge.
    4a. However, many Trump supporters will become embittered and leave the party; a rump of them will try to form a third party, which efforts will ultimately collapse.
    4b. Meanwhile, structural changes at the RNC level will initiate something roughly analagous to the Democrats’ superdelegate system.

    5. The lame duck session of the Senate will decide that Merrick Garland isn’t so bad after all and make noises about confirming him to SCOTUS but the Republicans will be so busy hating each other it won’t get done.Report

      Point four is the rub. I made this point in the past but the Republican Party is having the same problems that the Labour Party in the United Kingdom had between 1979 and 1997 and is having now under Jeremy Corbyn. The party membership in both parties really believe in the party platform but the general electorate of both countries really isn’t buying the platform anymore. The American political system gives Republicans more protection and a greater ability to deny this reality than Labour does though.

      On five, I’m skeptical. Mitch McConnell has stuck firm on his total war oppositional platform. He has vowed that if the Republicans keep the Senate that Clinton will not get any of her appointments through either. The Supreme Court and other Federal courts is something that many religious socons really care about, more than any other segment in American society.

      Trump outperforming the Romney map is, in my view, a huge disappointment and should be a big wake up call for the Democrats to start coming up with a coherent, affirmative vision for voters. And, by the same token, if Trump underperforms than Obama will have established both an agenda and a campaign operation that can elect a tire iron if it has a (D) after the name. The party has no obligation screw with something that ain’t broke, and should focus on getting Obama’s face on some currency or a mountain or something.

      Since we’re making long bets, what do folks think about the future of TrumpTV and FOX News? I say TrumpTV starts up but flounders because you just can’t run a whole network with that surrogate talent pool (and his tech talent is looking worse and worse by the day).

        Yeah advertisers and investors would be an unsurmountable problem for Trump TV. His brand is crap now. Fighting for viewers with Fox would hurt them both but where else does he get them from. His rep is for building stuff and going away to let other people run it. A network isn’t a building type of development so what does he offer except for a losing brand and an older demographic advertisers don’t’ prioritize with an already existing network to reach them. Unless a bunch of rich Russians pony up the bucks nobody will bankroll it and if people were willing it would be only if Trumpy was just the mouth piece and not running it.

        • trizzlor in reply to greginak says:

          A couple of points in Trump’s defense:

          * Jared Kushner runs the New York Observer, which he purchased at the age of 25 (!). It’s transformation is described on Wikpedia thusly : “Observer has lost virtually all of its cultural currency among New York’s elite, but the paper is now profitable and reporting traffic growth” . Someone who can turn a newspaper profitable at the age of 25 in the year two thousand freaking ten should not be underestimated.

          * According to internal accounts, Trump gets to take the GOP voter info with him after the election. It is valued at >$100 million yearly, which would be a down-payment on the network (Russia Today’s budget is ~$300 million). Moreover, it would provide him with a direct, micro-targeted connection to specific partisan loyalists that’s unheard of for an up-start network. He would be able to reach out, in some form, to ~50 million registered republicans.Report

          • greginak in reply to trizzlor says:

            Those are solid points and he has Bannon on his side which is another plus. However starting up a network is a big deal. Fighting with Fox seems like a hard proposition and Trump has a short attention span. Maybe if its the crowd around him that is driving it letting him just have a place to rant with him not in control or leading. I still think a PPV website deal is more likely. If you have all that data on R’s you don’t need an entire tv network with all the other egos and struggles. But on the other hand ego is strong driver and stoking Trumpy’s ego is a monumental task. He may need millions of people just to maintain it.Report

      If HRC wins NC, I think the Democrats will get that Senate seat.

      Florida is interesting because Rubio is clearly favored but if there is a real Latino(a) surge in early voting, it is probably for HRC. The older generation of right-wing Cubans is going away. The newer Latino(a) votes tend to be more liberal second and third generation Cubans and liberal Puerto Ricans (who dislike the Cuban community.)

      Generally speaking, the country is usually ready for a change after 8 years of one party in the White House. It’s one of the strengths of our system, IMHO. I think that dynamic is there this year, and that there were maybe 3 or 4 people the GOP could have nominated for POTUS that would have blown their chances — but they went ahead an nominated probably the worst of those 3 or 4.

    • These all seem like pretty reasonable picks. By which I mean, close to my own (though a bit more bullish for the Dems).

      One thing that gives me a bit of pause is I’ve heard from more than one place that Trump’s GOTV is actually better than Romney’s was. Mostly because Romney tried to consolidate it and failed, whereas Trump simply handed everything over to the states, who will be able to do a better job than Romney’s operation did.

      One way to tell how true this is if Trump dramatically underperforms in Ohio compared to elsewhere, where the state GOP has more-or-less told him to go to hell.Report

      • Jesse Ewiak in reply to Will Truman says:

        I think the difference between Romney and Trump’s GOTV operation is this, from what I’ve read.

        Romney was basically trying to copy Obama’s system, but bluntly, he didn’t hire good people so it failed spectacularly in the run up to Election Day. But, on the other hand, Romney had the backing of the entire GOP infrastructure, so while there was no ‘secret sauce’, the normal GOP turnout machine worked.

        OTOH, with things being handed over totally to the states, in states with strong Republican parties, those parties will still be able to get the base, but they don’t have the extra technology to find those swing or unreliable voters the same way the Clinton machine can. But, on the other hand, you might see things tank where the state party is weak and more importantly, if the 55 year old white ladies who are the core of the GOP Election Day volunteer infrastructure much like 55 year old black ladies are the core of the DNC infrastructure have turned on Trump.

        For instance, I think Pennsylvania is going to be a spectacular disaster for Trump compared to the polls.Report

                (2) The reason the Senate has filibusters but the House doesn’t is that Aaron Burr screwed up in editing the Senate rules.

                So the idea is that when the new Senate is formed, they could invoke the constitution to have whatever rules they want by majority vote. To date, they nearly always adopt the last Senate’s rules, but this time they could put whatever rules in they want (including those that would limite phone book reading filibusters, though I’m not aware of a movement to do that).Report

Rather, we’re forcing them to say one thing when they’re not via our (reasonable) practice of averaging them to get a picture of the race (however precise or casually it is that we’re doing the averaging).

        Here, it appears they are starting to actually come together to say one particular thing, more or less. I’d rather they be wrong through being ambiguous than be clear (convergent) like that, and wrong. At least, if the convergence is for a reason, rather than random. Clear and wrong, if it’s for a reason, means pollsters are flat-out doing it wrong. Scattershot and wrong just means there wasn’t a clear picture going in, it’s just that we were relying on the (good) theory that to average what there is to go on gives us the best picture that can be gotten from a group of varied results.

        Obviously, this depends on their being convergent for a reason, rather than purely randomly converging at the last moment before the election (which is obviously possible; probable probably.)Report

      If Trump wins, it will blow my mind. His alt-right fanboys have already started saying there are “irregularities” in the vote, so we know they will say the whole thing was rigged (just like Daddy).Report

        @roland-dodds I think the think I’m most looking forward to on Wed morning is Scott Adams explaining to everyone how master persuaders know that losing the popular and the electoral vote is really a sign of Trump’s historic popularity, and how he now has Clinton exactly where he wants her.Report

          +1.

          Lost so much respect for Scott Adams this cycle. Was he always like that and I just didn’t pay attention?

          Also I’m looking forward to Bill Mitchell continuing to predict victory for Trump.Report

            He did pick Herman Cain to win 2012, so he may not be the most astute political observerReport

            I think the seeds of Adams’s current behaviour was there before but was kept in check by other factors. The problem with this political cycle is that he had one really good idea: that a lot of Trump’s success is due to an effective communication and sales strategy based on observable quirks in human cognition.

            The problem was, like a lot of people with one really good idea, he completely over-invested in its explainatory power, starting to think that all of politics and history can explained by this one organizational principle he’s come up with, rather than sensibly limiting himself to a good explaination of this one particular phenomena that was confunding people back in 2015. As he was doing this he appears to have ironically fallen prey to a wide range of cognitive fallacies that he typically calls other people out for, confirmation bias having pride of place as the most prominant one.

            I give him full marks for coming up with a good thesis for why Trump wasn’t just a random lucky idiot, but a guy with a certain skill set that gave him the opportunity to exploit political conditions ine America this presidential cycle. The problem was trying to make something more of it. Noticing the how Trump worked played to Scott Adams’ strengths in that he’s pretty clever and well versed in communication theory. The rest seems to be from his weaknesses of being wildly ignorant on most topics but still willing to give an opinion on them, that he routinely over-estimates his own cleverness and that he’s very comfortable being a jerk, thus doesn’t adjust well to people pointing out the flaws in his thinking.

            Basically he had both the strengths and weaknesses of being a clever but hugely overconfident and myopic middle-aged white guy. There was a lot of Dunning-Kruger going on. Not realizing that Trumps appeal to people of his demographic wouldn’t necessarily translate to others was a particularly big flaw in his thinking.Report

          Scott Adams liked to sort of played that he was Dilbert and certainly his fans always always took him as the long suffering hero. It’s become clear Adams is sure he is Dogbert and Catbert but has far more pointy headed boss mixed in than he is aware of. The rest of us are just background characters.Report

        • Chip Daniels in reply to Tod Kelly says:

          It will be the masterstroke of Adam’s predictive persuasion magic-

          The linguistic kill shot will be that this is a rope a dope strategy by Trump who deliberately tossed the election to Hillary to totally neg America, until America decides it wants to surrender to Trump’s charm and prove how badly we want to make him a sammich.Report

    On the eve of the election, I’ll stand by what I previously said.

    But it looks like I may have underestimated Trump a bit in Iowa, NC and FL. I think I’m wrong on Iowa, and if NC or FL flip, both will…

    So, Trump either gets 215 or 259.

    I’d like to see McMullin win Utah… not because I like McMullin (or Utah or winning) but because I like the idea of faction voting (or the legitimate threat of such) in a 2 party system. And that’s my counter-intuitive thought for the day.Report
