At least I THINK that's what it shows. Because look at how the numbers are affected by the likely voter filter. The pool of registered voters is 37% democrat, 31% repugnant, and 32% Indies. But the pool of likely voters is 41% dem, 28% repugnant, and 31% indie. (but I'm not sure I'm interpreting this right because I'm taking % of weighted rather than % of "effective" likely voters)
If I've got that right then as long as our side stays hypermotivated and their side stays demoralized, then we win by a large margin. For sure, I can't see anything that could possibly dampen the enthusiasm on our side. Don't know about their side.
Could some stats rat tell me whether I'm interpreting this correctly?
UNWEIGHTED WEIGHTED Total Respondents 1152 Total Registered voters 1046 1010 Registered voters – Republicans 326 287 Registered voters – Democrats 391 411 Registered voters – Independents 329 312
*Effective Likely Voters 771
*Every registered voter is included in the likely voter model, and is assigned a probability of voting, which is used to calculate the likely voter results. The sum of these probabilities is the effective number of likely voters.
