Your Input Requested

2024 Election polling Grades

Please review the new 2024 Polling Grades page linked here and on the main page and look over the format and please make suggestions. This is a work in progress and I cannot fill in many of the pollsters because the final margin is not sure in many states.

The first list shown here is for pollsters who only polled ONE state. The other grid will be more complex for multiple state pollsters.

Believe it or not, there are two listed here that were worse then Selzer.

    I suspect it is going to be a complete shock to the Dem partisans that the two federal cases brought by DOJ are going to end quite abruptly with little or no fanfare.

    DOJ will likely withdraw the appeal of the dismissal in the 11th Cir, and file a simple one paragraph request to dismiss the indictment in the DC case. Maybe by Friday. There really isn’t anything to do.

    what bothers me most is people pretending she was some sort of transformational character with an amazing history of exceptional laurels.

    3. –Will they double down on talk of sexism, ramp up the frequency of false charges of systemic racism, push more man made global warming nonsense, support for the agenda of the transgender/LBGTQEIEIO community, name calling of Rs, fight to change the electoral college and push other “reforms” like ranked voting, fight it out in court to force the majority of Americans to condone, accept and elevate their very minority views on everything from soup to nutz?

    What will Ds do in government and Congress?

    Cooperate with Trump or fight back?

    –will he ACTUALLY take steps to get rid of the Dept. of Energy and Dept. of Education and do a good cutting of unnecessary jobs/positions in the federal bureaucracy?

    –will he bring in to government positions people like Haley and DeSantis, Larry Hogan, and Youngkin, etc. to hold key positions–or will he still treat anyone who ever ran against him or said anything bad about him like crap and ignore them and not take their help, expertise and counsel?

    –will he present a continuation of his current and past persona of being an a$$hole or will he truly try to bring the country together and reduce the divisive nature of things? And control his thumbs and mean spirited tweets or THINK before he speaks and refrain from saying goofball things that only give his opposition ammo and fuel Democrat ;campaign coffers?

    In her favor some smaller counties where she is ahead are behind the 70% count for the state, so she will gain some votes there.

    Maricopa is a big county so I don’t know if the outstanding areas are more favorable to her than what has been counted so far.

Trump got like 94 percent of Republicans. I don’t think they accomplished anything, except probably build a bunch of beach houses. That’s about what they did.

    Republicans being lectured to, condescended to, browbeaten by all these folks over the last — look, at some juncture, it’s OK if we have different opinions about the election. You don’t have to beat people to death over it. And the more you do that, the more it drives people away. Total failure.
