If you want to understand why GA still matters look at the 2024 Senate map which has three incumbents in tough races: Tester, Manchin and Brown. It will be a lot easier to win 2 of those races than all three.

@SimonWDC @TomBevanRCP @SeanTrende The non-partisan pollster average was incredibly accurate. It had only 1 miss: NV (and that will be less than half a percent). The story isn't polls were wrong.

OK nvm false alarm, it's because Democrats and Biden 2020 voters are far less consolidated than Republicans and Trump 2020 voters (look at the neither/other numbers) Not much persuasion happening here

@ThePlumLineGS @tbonier Straight averages separated by pollster lean. I am amazed no one is doing this. Republican pollsters are seeing very different results. Maybe they are right - but they are not reconcilable with other pollsters.

The state of play as of this morning:: 1. Biden's approval rating in relative terms is higher in the midwest versus '20, lower in AZ/NV. 2. Given the disapproval #'s GOP candidate quality is an issue in AZ/NH/PA/OH (compare GOP # to disapprove). 3. 5 races within 3 points.

The story is the share of white college-educated voters in the electorate. Biden leads among this group 59-41. This group is 27% of all adults, 29% of registered voters and 33% of likely voters.

I mean, you could see something like the GOP picking up AZ/NH if the bottom really falls out for Democrats. Alternatively, if we're all wrong in our turnout models again, it's not a *huge* stretch to get Dems holding the House.

538 gives them an A/B rating , though they had Bolduc up one over Hassan, and Hassan won by 8. This is a 9 point swing from '20 - consistent with a 4.6 Trump national lead. In '20 they had Biden up 8 and he won by 7.4%. They have had a decent primary record. Not good.

A significant result for the House. PPIC finds the Dems lead by 20 points (59-39) in the 10 seats in California rated as competitive. If the Dems win the 4 CA tossup seats and the 1 leaning R seat they would net 5 seats from CA alone and make retaking the House VERY likely.

The x-tab everyone should be looking at this morning. Only 22% of Biden '20 voters are worried about his age. The vast majority of those saying Biden's age is an issue voted for Trump. I guarantee few in the National News Media will note just how partisan this issue is.

This is completely wrong. With 8% inflation, the Dems have fought the R's to a draw in battleground states that are to the right of center. If the GOP can't win in this environment how can they EVER win? That the press does not get this just astounds me.

We now have 12 polls partially post-debate, and 10 conducted entirely post-debate. Biden trails Trump by 3.1% in polls wholly conducted post debate, for a margin shift of 1.8%. You can quibble some here - but the # of polls gives a good picture of the state of the race.

Over the last 45 days, Biden has led in national polling. He has led state polling since March, which is .85% more favorable for Biden than national polling. When this gap has opened up in the past the state polling is almost always more accurate in the end.

There is ZERO evidence that the division over Biden and the nomination has ANY effect on D support for either Biden or Harris. The argument is tactical - not ideological (which is where analogies to '68 and '80 fail).

As I said a few days ago, I expect more of this. If the GOP pursued this aggressively, their EC advantage could get as big as 5.5, meaning a 5.5 point national win would produce a tie in the EC. A modest proposal: A Fl referendum to split the EC votes (D's could net 10 EV's).

The GOP is proposing legislation in New Hampshire to divide the state's electoral votes, apparently thinking they can secure at least one extra electoral vote out of this. (This will likely be paired with a more aggressive map that endangers one of the two House Dems.)
