Chris Lawrence Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It depends who votes in the election. Trump is good at anger-in-up the red neck vote. Hilary tried but she looks as Trumps jabs were landing. Why can't they have three or four different parties? running against each other? Anyway Putin is his mate.......

Publicus Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It's beginning to look now that Trump will be a double-digit loser of a great number of individual states. That is, lose a state by double-digits. Trump is on course to lose a record number of states by more than 9 points. While GW Bush for instance won Texas in 2004 by 21 points over John Kerry, Trump is behind by 10 points or more in a record number of states. Trump is in the double-digit tank in more than a dozen of the most populous states with the largest number of Electoral College Votes. It indicates a chasm in the popular vote each candidate will get. The Electoral College Vote will naturally follow immediately behind it. (It's the consensus that if HRC wins overall by 8% or more, chances improve strongly the House can flip to D majority control.) It is safe to also say that between November 1st and 7th Trump's bottom will fall out, which would mean red states teetering blue will vote blue, such as Arizona. The 3rd party guy in solid red Utah may well win the state's 5 ECVs, however, the significance is that the Republican candidate Trump will be denied the ECVs of a solid red state. Trump can't win for losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I don't post the oddsmakers lines this close to the election because they begin to pad the odds to entice clients to go with the guy who's losing. Bring in more volume turnover of cash. This time in the campaign the oddsmakes fatten up the odds a bit to shift the green more to, in this election, the underdog which as we well know is Trump. In Vegas Trump has 22% odds to win, whereas Nate Silver and NYT, in its stats labs, give President Hillary Clinton 87% and 92% ratings to win, respectively. In fact Trump's Vegas odds have moved to 7-2 (22%) now from 17-4 a month ago. (Shifting and increasing the volume of the green.) HRC in Vegas has odds of 1-6 or 85.7% to win, which equals Nate Silver's reckonings but is considerably away from that of the NYT. (HRC also surpasses OB's Vegas line in 2012 of 1-5 which is 83.7% probability of his being reelected.) Odds up to and immediately after the nominating conventions are excellent reference points. At this point in a Potus campaign they do tell the fundamental story but they start to get colored a bit by the pressures of the green on those who make the odds. HRC remains the heavily odds-on favorite in Vegas, London, Dublin. As noted above, there's this also... Hillary Clinton Already Won The 2016 Election? Irish Bookie Claims Democrat Nominee's Win Over Donald Trump Is Sealed, Pays Out Bettors There are about 21 days left until Election Day, but one bookie has already said the race is over. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power said Tuesday it has paid out more than $1,000,000 to bettors who wagered on a victory for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The polls are showing Clinton up by a pretty wide margin and Paddy Power has apparently seen enough. Before paying out, the bookie pegged the former secretary of state's odds at 2/11 or an 85.7 percent shot at winning. The bookie had Trump at 100/1 at the beginning of his campaign. At the time they paid out he was at 9/2, or an 18.2 percent shot at winning. "Trump gave it a hell of a shot going from a rank outsider to the Republican candidate, but his chances now look as patchy as his tan," the company said in a statement. Despite Trump’s Make America Great Again message appealing to many disillusioned voters, it looks as though America are going to put a woman in the White House." http://www.ibtimes.com/hillary-clinton-already-won-2016-election-irish-bookie-claims-democrat-nominees-win-2433449?utm_source=internal&utm_campaign=incontent&utm_medium=related1 That's all they wrote.

People who visit the website tend to be right wing. If the Huffington Post were to offer a similar poll, it would skew towards Clinton. I would say that you need to brush up on statistics a bit but really, this all this requires is basic common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't seem to get it. It isn't about 1 poll. It's about the aggregate of polls. And there's a lot more polling done now. And a lot more sophisticated analysis. Maybe everyone did know that Obama would win in 2008, But hardly anyone called 49 out of 50 states correctly. And in 2012 the Republicans were loudly asserting that the polls were skewed to favor Obama. Nate Silver called all 50 correctly. And it turns out that the polls actually underreported Obama's margin of victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what did Nate predict about Trump's chances of winning the Republican nomination? I recall recently reading about an academic who had a 'system' that had correctly predicted the last 12 POTUS elections and he was predicting Trump to win (just). His methodology seemed sound, although he missed one variable in his list - the number of women who will vote for Clinton because she is a female. IMO that always been Trump's weakest point - and Clinton's strongest (certainly not her record in Office). It is going to be close - and it is too early to predict IMO.
