Monday! Last pre-election poll review update. Updated at midnight - this is it.

Last edited Tue Nov 3, 2020, 01:20 AM - Edit history (13)

Those who are sick of polls - don't read this. But - it is all good news. Watch for a few more tweaks this evening and late tonight.

Chilly day today in western NC!

1 MORE DAY and I will retire this thing, but it's been fun to document the run up to the election and demonstrate how consistent the polling remains. We will have our first pretty good freeze this week. Let's freeze out as many repubs as possible on Tuesday!

Essentially rock steady for 22 days. Today the site is flipping back and forth from "favored" to "clearly favored" - polls must be coming in to tweak their aggregate. Currently "favored"

election day estimate Joe 54.2%

Steady, and holding, on day 22. a bit of flipping between 96-95, was at 97 briefly a few times.

For the 22st day in a row, no significant sign at all of race tightening. Watch for my updates on this post throughout the day as edits.

The current electoral vote totals from the three sites are 349, 351 and 350. Essentially spot on!

Bonus addition - where the election was in 2016 on 538 https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

1 day before the election in 2016 was Nov 7. Hillary was at 71% chance, 301 EVs, 48 to 45 percent popular vote, 3 point separation - and this was 11 days after the Comey letter surfaced - the full effect is showing.. Joe has 50 more EVs, 20 percent higher chance, and 53 vs 48 percent popular vote - 5 point separation, with Joe well over 50 percent - something Hillary never reached. The impact of the Comey letter was fading a bit at this point.

Economist key state margins currently are PA +6, FL +3, WI +8, MI +8, NC +2, MN +9, AZ +2, NV +7, NH +9, Iowa -1, GA +1, OH -1 and TX -2

Tomorrow is election day! Just a few more days to get active, get busy! Get out the vote, volunteer, phone bank.....
