2022 US Elections


Is that a reflection of models moving towards likely voters or an actual change in the same data sets?

538 still showing pretty much 70/30 Repubicans for the house

and 70/30 Dems for the senate

I know they mentioned they were expecting the polls to tighten when the pollsters switched to likley voters

It can't be a reflection of models moving towards likely voters, since that would increase the GOP lead instead of decreasing it, I'm pretty sure.

538 implied it would see it leveling out on the basis that the dem base is pretty strong and motivated but there a number of people who perhaps dont like the gas prices or something who on a generic ballot will say republican but re not likley to turn out

was on their last 538 politics podcast where they talked through their models and some polling anomalies

That's where I got it from as well, I thought they said the opposite.
 
It’s really worrying how little discussion on U.S presidential candidates is focussed around actual, solid policies…

It just seems to be superfluous populism appealing to either the (increasingly far-) right or the left.

Trump isn’t someone who I really even consider an actual politician, which is really odd. More a ‘personality’, a symbolic celebrity.

I simply don’t believe he could hang in a deep discussion about serious politics with even, say, Boris Johnson.

There’s a toxicity that flows through all of American politics right now, a real, tangible toxicity.

It’s like it’s been infiltrated by something… or broken in some way and the cause can’t be readily defined and fixed.

Trumpist populism has always been out there, it’s different now due to it being normalized.
 
Room for a thousand spectators, but Abbott would not agree to it...


In my town there is literally a slot in a wall where people can place unwanted babies like making a bank deposit. It closes to the inside so it's heat controlled and I imagine someone is alerted if it's used. Gonna be a lot more popular.

I adopted a dog that went through a similar process.

Never heard of it, which town do you live in?
 


Piece of trash. This doubly angers me as a dog person and also as a scientist. Lab animals are absolutely crucial for studies (and anyone, no mater their "credentials" who tells you otherwise is full of shit), but shit like this, rightly, inflames anger against animal models. How Columbia's IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) board didn't flag this is bullshit.
 
Hopefully Fetterman proper goes after him on this, as his campaign has started to look a little lacklustre in recent weeks and this has allowed Oz to get closer in the polls recently.
