He’s 90% of the Twitter info posted on here. I believe Trump will win and I’m voting for Trump. Just don’t know anything about this guy. Did this board follow him in 2020 and did he have the same optimism?

He posts news and polls. He's a reporter. Give him credit for being all over the election news people want.

Has he done anything other than post polls and results when available? To me it seems like his tweets get posted because it’s a place with all the info consolidated and not really because he’s posting opinions.

He's legit. He's one of the few helpful news aggregators/reporters out there who posts real data and frames it in a helpful manner without a whole lot of the hysterics and BS commentary.

All his stuff is optimistic and maybe that’s just simply a good sign. I’m just curious if he was the same optimism in 2020 but maybe he wasn’t doing it back then

He has a very good reputation and makes sure he researches and makes sure what he posts is legit

Stopped reading here.

Anyone resulting to such hyperbole to make a point is not a person to be taken seriously

You do realize he’s posting results of polls right? Do you think he conducted the polls himself?

One other note on why he's a good source. The crazed lefties on the Predictit board routinely trash Eric by posting his picture and say things like "MAGA is trusting this guy? What a joke" and things like that all the time, without ever refuting what he posts. That's what they've resorted to.

All he does is post polls. What is there to trust or not trust?

Personally I don’t see his purpose since everything he posts is easy to find yourself.

Most of the links from Twitter I see on here is from him. I’m not bashing, I’m just curious. I have never heard of him which means nothing, but results in me asking the board

I mean it’s probably excessive how much John Barron posts him but it’s literally just tweets of polls and early vote data. The numbers are what the numbers are. There’s not really anything to be misleading about.

I understand, no i don’t think he conducted the pollls. I’m asking because every poll it seems he posts is favorable to Trump. That may just be reality and it’s all a good sign. I’m just wondering if maybe there’s a comparison to him now and from 2020. But also curious about some of y’all’s input and I appreciate the replies

Yes the polling looks good but the early voting numbers vs 2020 look even better. No bias there

NH +24.3
NV +7.3
Iowa +12
RI +23.4
NC +6.9
AZ +8.8
PA +17

I noticed the same thing on X. The left hates him on X because he post good content that craters their false narratives.

He's not reporting opinion. He's just doing what reporters are supposed to do, report.
