Do you have a link for that? I believe you I was just looking for it and I'd like to have that site for my own benefit.



Sure, it's the CNN Exit polls. 2016 and 2018

Of course it does.
As I have said often, hopefully Democrats continue to view Biden as a viable candidate.

Surprisingly it was 29D, 38R, and 33I so +9R. 2018 Texas Senate was 34D 38R, 27I. It's absurd to think that the electorate in Texas this year will be D+1.


Looks like what they did was take the increase in D from 2016 to 2018 (+5) and assumed the same increase from 2018 to 2020. Holding the R constant that gives you a 39D 38R or the D+1.

The other thing I don't get about polls....lets assume they go to a state that is 41D, 39R, 10I, so they poll it +2D.

How do they compensate for enthusiasm?? Because the D's don't look anywhere near the R's on that measure!

Public polls are meant to shape public opinion NOT reflect public opinions.

As soon as people learn this the sooner they can ignore them.

This is why the 538 data is unreliable.

I don't know why Silver uses bullshite polls like this in his predictions.

He's going to be embarrassed again if he continues using them.
