if PA, VA, and CO go blue then NH is irrelevant

VA, CO, PA, and NV = 270. that means losing FL, NC, NM, IA, and OH.

Survey #1: Retired Woman from Ohio, on the fence between Trump and Clinton. Big fan of Rob Portman and other "socially moderate" Republicans. Upset about Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric and the fact he may refuse to debate Clinton, who she thinks is much smarter, but less trustworthy than Trump.

Survey #2: Alt-right Man in his 40s from Pennsylvania. Ranted about Globalists and Jews for most of the survey. Unmarried and unemployed.

Survey #3: Nice old white lady from Georgia. Excited to vote for Hillary. Thinks Trump is "a nasty, nasty man." Registered Republican who is a fan of Paul Ryan AND Barack Obama.

Survey #4: Spiteful middle aged housewife, also from Ohio. Hates Hillary with a passion. Wanted Cruz, but is settling for Trump. Wants "homosexuals and other deviants" to be put in mental hospitals. Bizarrely fixated on Melania Trump.

Lol but she'll obviously end up voting for Clinton, lmao, wtf at liking both Ryan and Obama, and that fourth person at least supports mental hospitals so she's not as repugnant as she could be, yet

Reminder that Portman is in a tough reelection battle and will probably need some Clinton Portman crossover voters to survive.

Portman (R-OH) was, among other things, the first Republican Senator to come out as pro-gay marriage, and is trying his hardest to be a kinder, gentler face for GOP economic policies.

Their method breaks down a bit with the current situation of so few state polls. Every single poll swings the whole state extremely in the model, something they try to smooth out with the polls-plus model (the "unskew" one, that puts economic situation, demographics and other assumption into the calculation). I hope we see more polls now that the conventions are over.

We're still in the midst of the DNC bump as well so don't expect really reliable polls for another two weeks. For now just sit back and Arzy over meaningless data points

That's what I mean with the limitations of the model(s) with the current situation of polls. The whole thing is currently based on more or less 4 polls, 2 with Clinton ahead, one with Trump quite far ahead, one tie. From June and pre-convention July. By three pollster with a pretty mediocre rating and one without any rating at all (the +9 Trump one). Basically a dart board would give you a result that's probably more reliable than that. Basing a model on such crappy data will make for an comparison on the day after the election.

Edit: Read the crappy "unskew" column instead of the real column. Suck it, Nate Silver!

NH doesn't really have a history of 3rd party voting.

it's honestly very, very difficult to ascertain how well 3rd parties will do before the election. there is a long history of people saying they'll vote 3rd party in polls than then switching to one of the main parties at the ballot box. or sometimes they don't show up at the polls at all and then get a big result on election day. i would agree that this election is ripe for a 3rd party insurgency but 10% for gary johnson? not sure about that.

It will be interesting to compare the unskewing done by Nate Silver with the real result in November. After 2012 (where the pure polls were pretty good) and the Primary (where the pure polls again were pretty good, but Silver dropped the ball by ignoring the polls and playing pundit) building a model where the whole assumption is that Trump will do by 3-5 % better than the polls say in basically every single swing state - unskewing the polls - is an interesting approach. I guess their hope/assumption is that the polls will be in line with their prediction in October/November, but that seems a pretty big assumption on his side in the first place. At least we don't have 3-4 site all saying basically the same this time around, will be interesting if Upshot/PEC or 538 have the better model for a less stable race than 2008/2012.

Edit: I mean, he does it even for Colorado. A +3 Clinton poll suddenly becomes a +1 Trump poll. Despite being already LV. Making a state where Clinton leads all six recent polls with at least +3 to 2 polls with Trump up and Clinton's margins reduced by up to 5 points. He's basically doing Boosted's work from 2012.
