Something both sides should agree on. It looks like the turnout is gonna be gigantic for a midterm election. I think everyone should agree that our turnout is normally too damn low and it's always a good thing when more people get involved and actually vote.

The only thing I object to is that the media and corporations don't tout this mantra when a red wave is anticipated.

Is Uber going to give free rides during a pro-GOP cycle? Is Google going to change their logo?

So what polling group was the most accurate during the 2016 election?

I know most had Trump losing up until a few minutes before it happened when they "adjusted" but one HAD to be legit and give him a fighting chance the entire time right?

IF so, what are they saying about this election?

I’d be shocked if google didn’t have something similar on their site 2 and 4 years ago.
And I would also be shocked if Uber doesn’t do the same thing in 2 years.

After not giving a shite throughout this cycle I'm unreasonably nervous right now

Probably because Auburn is so shitty I haven't had to be nervous about CFB all year

The final average of the major polls was within the margin or error. It’s a myth that the national polls were way off. There were some state and local polls that screwed the pooch pretty hard though.

Almost every national poll had Hillary winning by a few points. She ended up 3.

Okaloosa county Fl
Panhandle coming through

Total ballots cast
GOP 44,378
Dem 13,480

50% turnout

Looking like total turnout will approach 2016 turnout.

Why are you doom and gloom? Just a gut feeling or based on something real?

Nothing real. The party that holds the White House usually does poorly in the midterms. Maybe Trump flips the script.
