Imagine telling someone in 2004,2008,2012 that one day Ohio and Texas were voting in very similar ways

One thing that seems very peculiar to me is that there seems to be a consensus that Trump is favored in Ohio, yet a massive underdog for an EC/PV victory if polls are supposed to be believed (I do not think they're accurate). Seems to buck conventional wisdom that as Ohio goes so goes the rest of the map.

Is this the start of the poll corrections people have been predicting?

Ohio is no longer a bellwether state, at least as long as the current political coalitions stay the same

It’s an aging, blue collar state that has soured on the dems.

Pennsylvania has replaced them, I think.

I think the theory is that Trump won Ohio big last time and only won Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania small.

If his margin in Ohio shrinks to a very small win, that likely means Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania have slipped to narrow defeats.

I'm not buying that of course, I think he'll win Ohio by what he did last time at least, but that's their theory.

This is purely a Trump phenomenon though. I'm not saying it won't continue, but this was not the case four years ago.

SurveyMonkey is horrible with their left leaning skew

These are fantastic polls for Trump

I wouldnt take this polling with much more than a grain of salt. When you click on the underlying poll its a national poll and then they give the state by state breakdown. I doubt that this was powered to give any statistical certainty on a state by state level.

That would be my guess. Getting close to the finish. Numbers are tightening up just in case Trump wins by two they can say "we were only off by 2 points" instead of seven which would make them look like idiots. Remember how the polls were still making adjustments on election day last time? They were in serious cya mode and they still blew it big time.

Very weird polls overall though, they completely contradict each other.

If Trump is up a mere 3 in Texas, he should be getting crushed nationally, like Biden +15.

Meanwhile Nevada is a pretty reliably blue state this time and it somehow has gotten closer?

Tells you these polls are all over the place and some or all of them unreliable.

I think the last debate done Joe in and on election day I think the polls will be flooded with a red wave and there will be no doubt.

As in ‘16 polls get closer and closer to reality as Election Day nears in order to save face and be considered most accurate next time around

Oddly they’re never punished for being Biden(insert democrat) +13 3-4 weeks from Election Day

Biden campaign is dumb enough to think they can win in Texas or Georgia and libtards have poured $109M in South Carolina to beat Lindsay Graham.

It will all be for nothing. Trump will win those 3 states and pull all the senate candidates along with him.

All the money, resources and time the dems spent in those 3 states will be wasted when they should have been spent in Florida and Pennsylvania.
