Trump was 8 to 1 in 2016. There were people putting their entire bankroll on Hillary thinking it was free money. I mean they had to put up like $1000 to win $150 but they thought there was no way she could lose so they did it. Lots of people went broke.

I'm skeptical that anyone went broke betting on Hillary in 2016...

Bouzy has been pretty spot on so far. He was one of the only ones who called the blue wave in 2022.

So now, after spraying the board with caterwauling guarantees (more or less) that we're 2 weeks away from Trump being elected, you're touting Bouzy, who is basically calling for a Harris landslide. If you think Bouzy is spot-on, why are you worried? And aren't you the poster who was also literally guaranteeing Biden was going to win even after his disastrous debate performance and that it would be a disastrous move for him to step aside? If that wasn't you, disregard that last question, but if it was you all I can say is put down the crack pipe. You're all over the place, even on the same day and in the same thread...

I know you had said you’re from Wilson; I had meant to ask you what part of it you were from a while ago.

I'm a city boy, but have family in the county and also put in 'baccer every summer starting in 8th grade thru high school, so I know the county/"country" pretty well. Also, to respond to your post about the city leaning blue but not the county, that may or may not be true. Wilson County has gone for the Dem candidate in the past 4 presidential elections. I can't find any data on just the city of Wilson voting, so it's certainly possible that the city vote overrode the county vote, but who knows? But Wilson County as a whole (along with some of the surrounding counties - Edgecombe, Nash, Pitt) has been reliably Dem for several cycles now..
 
The story about the Dems picking up some ground with non-college whites is interesting in light of their losing few points amongst blacks and other people of color. Will those cancel each other out? Or does one party come out on top?

I dont belive Bouzy on Florida. And I dont believe Trump is winning it by 10 points either

I've gotten to the point that I just don't trust polls in this election cycle, period, and I'm equally skeptical of trying to analyze early voting returns. They seem to be all over the place, especially in swing states. Trump leads in FL by double digits, Trump leads in FL by just two percent, etc. And given that in 2020 we had covid and most voters voted early, comparing this year's early voting results with 2020 may lead to some very inaccurate conclusions. So early voting in Georgia is up? Does that mean that more Democrats are voting this cycle, or is Trump's base yet again turning out in huge numbers? At this point I just wish I could avoid hearing it all until election day and see what the results actually say, if then.

1. That runs counter to my intuition. I was thinking that late breaking voters would break to Trump, because often "undecided" voters at this stage in the campaign aren't really undecided. They're just uncomfortable with their choice.

BUT

2. I don't think the math works there. It implies that Kamala was losing a month ago but has been gaining ground. That's not the story I've seen in any poll. So either there's some statistical process I'm not appreciating, this cross-tab is FOS, or people been lying to pollsters.
