There's a much higher support of Johnson and especially McMullin in Utah than in other red states.

Yeah, his "but ISIS is worse!" excuse-making was probably his second-worst moment of the night. (After "I will jail my political opponent", of course.)

It's hilarious Trump tried to turn the debate into an episode of Jerry Springer, who is another celebrity more fit for the Ocal Office than Trump. Actually that would be a fun game - name a celebrity who'd make a better POTUS candidate than the one the GOP nominated.

Sadly Jerry Springer, while a middling politician of some small ability and popularity, can never be President on account of his crippling Englishness. No immigrants in the big chair. Of course he made it as far as Mayor and Trump will only make it as far as failure, so Jerry still wins that one.

As said already, 538, Upshot, and PEC all use polls. If you want news based predictions, PredictWise is what you want.

Yes I know that. What I'm wondering is what polls they use to update anything. They just updated and it actually even dipped slightly. (Arizonas is only on 48.6% now) What polls are they using which would lower the chance? The LA times one is literally the only one I can think of.

It's the LA Times and the 'only' +2 Morning Consult poll from October 5th. 538 uses national polls to come up with a trendline for the various states that don't get much polling.

E: Also it just jumped up due to the Rasmussen poll and Surveymonkey.

There is some merit to this thinking but at the same time John Kerry got sunk by swiftboaters precisely because he felt no need to address it.

Fortunately for Hillary most Americans are already predisposed to think of most of Donald's attacks as preposterous (including, somewhat unfortunately, the idea that Bill Clinton is a rapist).

Kerry lost because he's an uncharismatic golem that was running entirely on his opponent's faults. Like Mittens. He was lucky to get as close as he did.

His question was definitely one of Hillary's better answers. I don't know if he, as Hillary assumed, is heavily involved with or particularly knowledgeable about the energy industry, but Trump's answer was one of his worst of the night to anyone with even a cursory understanding of the issue.

Mormons have been alienated by Trump ever since he shat on the Syrian refugees and proposed the Muslim ban, since they're mostly decent people who relate to religious persecution. Whether that translates into Utah turning blue/yellow/muffin we'll have to wait and see.

I hope Mormons just go the way of Ken Jennings and just become full on Democrats. Especially now that THE GAYS in no longer an issue.

The Deseret News, owned by the Mormon Church, called for Trump's resignation over the weekend. This is the first time in 80 years they have effectively endorsed a candidate in a Presidential Election.
