Primary model

quote:

The PRIMARY MODEL gives President Donald Trump a 91% chance of winning the 2020 presidential election, with Democrat Joe Biden having just a 9% chance. Trump would get 362 electoral votes, Biden 176. This forecast is unconditional and final; hence not subject to any updating. It was first posted March 2, 2020, on Twitter. In 2016, when polls, pundits and forecasters were all predicting a certain victory for Hillary Clinton, the PRIMARY MODEL was practically alone in predicting Donald Trump’s victory. It did so as early as March 7 that year, putting his chance of winning at 87%. LINK It is a statistical model that relies on presidential primaries and, in addition, on an election cycle as predictors of the vote in the general election. This year the model has been calibrated to predict the Electoral College vote.

If a model is more accurate than a poll - I'm all in.

This is the same garbage model as posted in a multiple page thread still on the first page of the board. It's a joke. It has Trump winning NY but losing NH. Ridiculous.

That’s ridiculous, but Biden winning Texas and GA is realistic?

Yeah that date throws out this model entirely.

I could see Trump winning very easily over Biden pre-covid.

Things done changed though.

Wrong. If you read his website the map is based on certain factors related to the results of turnout in both parties primaries. Nothing between then and now changes the turnout that already happened.

The only thing COVID did for Trump is make swing voters vote for him because they realize how shady and underhanded the Democrats are.

Not a bot. Just haven't spent every waking moment posting on on here.

Gallup also consistently has the President underwater on approval rating. So even if a voter feels they are better off, they are not giving the President credit for it. And at this point, there are very few undecided voters versus 2016. I just don't see where the President's votes are going to come from. Of course folks will just say the polls are wrong like they were in 2016. But the President really benefited in 2016 from lots of undecided voters breaking his way just before the election. Don't see that happening this time around.

lol. muh polls tell me Biden will win so he will win.

I haven't done any research on the amount of new registered reps in the states. I only listen to what CNN tells me.

TRUST ME!

All the areas in the various battleground states that media pollsters dont reach in their polling, like north central PA.
