I love the fact that Trumpatistas think they've won yet 538's forecast barely registered anything from the whole incident.

Some good news for a change: Obama's soaring approval ratings will probably help Abuela, particularly now that he is going to stump against the grump

how many days behind the news do the polls lag?

You don't need necromancy to get the dead to vote. Just conveniently don't remove them from voter rolls and have the living vote multiple times.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

It was a thing for a time, but not anytime recently- not for decades.

There's no hard and fast answer.

It isn't unusual to see the results of a poll go public the day after it is completed, particularly for national polls, but those polls will include responses from all across the date range the poll was in the field.

Thus, it may be a full week before any trend can be discerned, but it may start to affect polling results within 24-48 hours. However, unless it's a catastrophic event, (and what the hell would that even be anymore in this cycle?) the overall effect is going to be indistinguishable from noise and/or other trends. Over time, it'll become apparent, particularly if pollsters start asking about it specifically.

To sum it up, 2-7 days, with it becoming clearer the further from the event we get.

If Trump wins there will probably honestly be people trying to deport my father and his parents. :ohdear:

Alternatively I'll get some brownshirt shitstains harassing me for being a Hispanic dude with a blonde, blue eyed white girlfriend in a lovely state that's turning more and more Republican.

I'm honestly not super worried about Hillary losing. I'm scared to death of getting obliterated in 2018 or not winning the Senate now, so that we fail to get a Supreme Court justice or two.

OK, so final count up to where I mentioned this was a pattern:

15 basic "if Trump wins, X that means it won't matter" posts.

6 posts in this pattern making specific references to Trump setting up a fascist state.

9 posts in this pattern making specific references to post-apocalyptic science fiction.

This may be a bit inflated, but not by much. Al! was the first to do this, with a fascism reference post that was the fourth post in the thread. Kudos.

Fun fact: the posts have transitioned over time from fascism to nuclear/post-apocalyptic. Says something about how folks are viewing the stakes/what will happen with Trump.
