    Trump always overperforms his poll aggregate in Wisconsin. Probably more so than any other State.

    Wisconsin is not going to vote that far to the right of Pennsylvania. Just ain’t gonna happen.

  6. Interesting column by Nate Silver a few days ago and before the second attempted assassination of Trump. Silver, who has said he will vote for Harris, has been the target of a couple of left leaning pubs (Salon and Vox) for being a possible traitor stated and I’m paraphrasing…

    1. This is Trump’s election to lose (and he still might) as this point
    2. Harris’ internal polls were suggesting that she was doing worse in the battleground polls after the convention
    3. The race will go back to 50/50 after all of the post-debate polls have come in
    4. The Electoral College favors Trump by 2.5 points. In other words the point spread is 2 and a half for Trump if this was football
    5. The Harris campaign is basically running uphill with configuration to the ‘map’
    6. Real disposable income has been flat during the Biden years-a huge indicator of how people vote
    7. The ant-incumbent mood was evident in the UK and India
    8. Biden is still unpopular and she is still his vice president

    All in all, Silver is suggesting that the Harris campaign is ‘not bluffing’ when they say they are the underdogs.

  7. Final PA poll from Quinnipiac in 2020:

    Biden 51

    Trump 44

    Off in the direction of Biden +6.

    So Harris is two points behind the margin they gave Biden in 2020.

  9. and here are the senate races from Quinnipiac:

    Pennsylvania – 🔵 Casey 52-43%
    Wisconsin – 🔵 Baldwin 51-47%
    Michigan – 🔵 Slotkin 52-46%

    So the WI number is totally believable. Just like their POTUS numbers.

    The PA and MI numbers are left of what other pollsters have found, just like Q’s POTUS numbers.

    Garbage in, Garbage out.

  10. “Most Black voters, 63%, plan to support Harris, compared with 13% for Trump, according to the new NAACP survey, which interviewed 1,000 registered Black voters across the U.S. from Aug. 6 to Aug. 12.

    But 26% of Black men under 50 years old said they supported Trump, versus 49% who backed Harris. For Black men above 50, 77% said they supported Harris.

    Sixty-seven percent of Black women said they supported Harris, while 8% said they supported Trump.”

    This poll has a lot of undecided. If Trump gets even a small percentage of that vote, he will win the election. 63-13? 24% undecided. Give Trump 25% of that vote and he is at 20% of the black vote.

    The Quinn polls are finding things almost no other pollsters are finding. Even the pollsters who have Harris winning. Harris is up on both the economy and immigration in every Rust Belt State.

    On the economy:
    PA: 50% Trump-48% Harris (+2)
    MI: 50% Trump-48% Harris (+2)
    WI: 51% Trump-47% Harris (+4)
    Immigration:
    PA: 50% Trump-46% Harris (+4)
    MI: 49% Trump-48% Harris (+1)
    WI: 52% Trump-45% Harris (+7)

  14. Huge day today. The fed pivot begins. I think they go 25 points. If they go 50, that is a sign that the economy is weakening and that they went too high to begin with. Markets should like the 25 point cut. Markets will likely hate a 50 point cut.

    Really, the big news is going to be their projections for the remainder of the year. My guess would be a monthly 25 point cut.

    Side note, its amazing that during this rate hike cycle, the markets now end up at/near all time highs when the pivot begins.

  23. Well, I was wrong. The fed cut by 50 BUT!!!! reduced their projected cuts for the year. So a true mixed bag here. Awaiting Powell’s conference, should be interesting. My guess is that they were spooked by the unemployment revision which is a cause for concern. The markets however reacted positively (for now) which is an irrational reaction.
