Wait, so are you saying that Florida is not in play for the Dems? Twitter assured me that it was.

Its like these dudes don't read any information and just post BS. It's like he gets off from posting misinformation.

You realize even if the Dems WON the Election Day vote in Florida that Trump would win the state by about 10%

Rs are winning the Election Day vote in Florida by 17.84%

A 10%+ Trump win in Florida is going to translate nationally

This was based on one person's guess on what was needed.

If you look at the place he lost in 2020, he's made HUGE progress. Notably Duval County, Miami Dade and Hillsbourough. All of them, at the moment, are red.

They were blue in 2020.

I have not seen anything reputable that suggests 20% is magical.

It will be a significant beat over historical and polls - both really good signs

Turnout all over the country is said to be very high, record high in some places, and that usually favors democrats.

I though dems voted early and high turn out on ED is better for Repubs

Surprised to learn that such a place either does, or even can, exist, but I would have to guess either Key West, or the Flora-Bama, being the most southwesterly point of the panhandle.

The X account Data_republican posited earlier today that if Trump outdid the democrats on election day by 20% compared to how he did on election day in 2016 that it could suggest a big, big night for Trump. If it was 15% it suggested a closer race. If it was 10% it was bad news.

Now, that is not some researched metric, just something that person came up with based upon their supposed knowledge of the numbers.

Trump was up 6-8% in Florida polling. An outlier or 2 had him up 14%. They kinda threw those away. If he wins by 10% or more that is 3-5 points right of his polling.

He won Florida in 2020 by 3-4%. If the national electorate moves just 1% right of polling, He wins comfortably.

It’s literally a guess of something that would strongly signify a landslide

Supposedly needs to be around 20% in order for him to have a good chance of a national victory. 15% and he has a chance but 20% is where we want it to be.


What do you mean by "national victory" and how are you figuring this?

Are you talking "winning the popular vote" or just winning the election?

Florida means nothing. 2020 should have taught you all that.

20% seems like a high bar for FLA. 57 to 41 is a beating.

No, he isn't. That is just for today. Overall, Trump is up 10.83% in FL (1.2 million vote lead). Still a bloodbath, but not 15%+
