mtutiger Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM In all seriousness, when you look at the actions (ie. Trump and his allies trying a last minute play to change Nebraska's EC allocation) and how the money is being allocated (ie. Ds flooding money into R districts in Iowa and WI-03), Trump appears to having real issues in the Midwest and Plains this cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans are even pumping cash into the Nebraska senate race. Trump is a real drag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted Thursday at 10:55 PM Share Posted Thursday at 10:55 PM Apparently the Vance dossier is being spread around Twitter and Musk is trying to stop it. It seems Musk name is in it as a funder of Vance long before Musk came out as a right wing troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted Thursday at 11:16 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:16 PM The Seltzer poll had Trump only up 4 in Iowa, Dems are spending in Iowa congressional districts, NE-2 looks like a lost cause for Trump, and Republicans have to pump money into the Nebraska senate race. Is Iowa in play? Obama won it twice. This isn't a state with a long history of being red like Kansas or Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago There's been a couple of bad polls in recent days for Harris is Arizona. This one from the NYT/Siena and another one from USA Today/Suffolk. I wonder why Arizona, which went for Dems the last two election cycles, is seemingly slipping back to the right.

This one from the NYT/Siena and another one from USA Today/Suffolk. I wonder why Arizona, which went for Dems the last two election cycles, is seemingly slipping back to the right. A couple of thoughts (not necessarily correlated, but observations that may apply): Katie Hobbs went into election night in 2022 seen as behind Kari Lake around 2 points, based specifically on polling. In the end, she did end up winning. Sun Belt states present their own challenges for pollsters because they are diverse and sometimes can encounter issues with sampling minority voters (Georgia is another case of this - Biden 2020/Warnock 2022 (before the runoff) both overperformed polling IIRC)... Another challenge is getting the turnout correct - using Georgia again because it's a little more straightforward an example (not as familiar as AZ), but if you see a poll that's only composed of ~26% black voters in that state, that likely isn't high enough; black voters since 2020 have generally always been at least 29% of turnout in that state, and 30% turnout is the magic number that D's like to hit to feel like they have a chance iirc Immigration is Trump's overall best issue, and among the battleground states, there's no state where it's more salient than Arizona by virtue of where Arizona is located Edited 8 hours ago by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Garrett is right, but I specifically think it's a good bellwether for Midwestern suburban areas... Milwaukee comes to mind specifically, there's still a room for Trump to fall in the WOW counties. And I don't think he can afford to lose much ground there.
