I have grudging respect for Silver, but I no longer trust any polls and not sure it matters anyway. It's gonna come down to how hard the Rats are going to push the cheat vote.

The election now is about winning news cycles.  After camel-uh busted into the scene, plus the DNC, she had a streak going.

In the past 7-10 days, we've had the RFK endorsement, Musk Endorsement, Fridman Podcast, Walz stolen valor, and some bad econ news.  Plus Tuesday looms BIGLY. If Trump can hold his own and fight off ABC, he might seal the deal by this time next week.

Or, if he unravels, we will see a squeaker.  And that squeaker favors the dims.   It always does (Franken Factor)

It’s about 50/50 if you assume the convention bounces are flushed out.  Kennedy probably netted a point for Trump.  The democrats have a major cash advantage, which is what worried me from the start.

As evidenced in Camel-uh down loading $25M to down ballot races.  These turds are swimming in cash.

I thought Nate Silver and 538 parted ways?

Yeah, well, smile and wave. With all the Green grant money flying around, unspent COVID funds, widespread fraud, etc. those are likely our tax dollars coming home to roost.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They did.  His latest model is well thought out, weighting pollsters by their accuracy and partisan bent, and he tries to smooth out any bounces that generally become irrelevant by November.

My gut is that the race has swung in Trump's favor for now. At least with him winning the EC, if not the popular vote as well. Could be wrong, could be fleeting who knows?

I read an article which said something to the effect of "the more people see Harris the less they like her". I think that just it, Harris is as unlikable as Trump is, and the economy is not doing that well! Could change though, as it's vey close.
