Related: About this forumReuters Ipsos Poll uses super weird turnout model
They are using a new method to predict who will actually vote, a turnout model never used before. In a letter quoted by Nate Cohn of the brilliant Upshot section of the New York Times (after Nate Silver left the Times they hired a Nate replacement, Nate Cohn) Reuters said they project a 70% turnout rate for white males and a 13% turnout rate for young voters. The all time high turnout rate for white males was 66% in 1992, and the turnout rate for those 29 and younger has been around one third or a bit higher in the past presidential races of the last few decades. So the Reuters turnout model seems to be "crazy" to quote the new Nate.

(25,111 posts)There are several polls that are giving GOPers the edge, can I say T-rump.
The problem with that is that 70% which is high ain't gonna all vote for T-rump but rest assure majority of the others will vote for Clinton. Therefore, to me, this and the other recent polling that do not include, ummm, let say all phone lines (land and cell) are bogus. On line polls suck.

(543 posts)You just bragged about right-wing website freerepublic having better traffic numbers than the Democratic Underground.
In a separate thread, you express "concern" that millenials will tip the elections for Trump.
And in yet another thread, you ask Hillary to "admit her mistake" regarding the emails in a press conference.
Who are you?
