Harris down to 6.4 from 8, looks like a slightly delayed reaction to the Biden drift.

Biden has been about 3.40 to get the democratic nomination all through this fiasco

don't think he has drifted at all?
By:

When: 27 Aug 21 18:27
He did touch 3 just before it and had some momentum, but drifted back to 3.4 when the Taliban took over and has held those odds since.

New polling including the first poll where Trump leads Biden in a match up !

Interesting, that explains why Trump hit a new low of 5.8 this morning.

Yes, I wonder if he is any closer to announcing a decision to run or not? He has the momentum and Bidens approval figures are sliding badly.

Seems very early with the fundraising laws but you're right he has the momentum. I hope he doesn't though because the market will thin out and centre more on Trump.

It's swings and roundabouts. Trump is a massively polarising figure who generates huge betting action.

Trumpers clearly seek to manipulate
opinion by manipulation of betting markets.

Far harder to manipulate
opinion polls.

Maybe get embarrassed trumpers
to be honest with pollsters
would be a bonus for trump.

Here`s a scenario;

The Reps are guaranteed the House in the mid-terms, so
The Don runs for a seat in Congress
He wins the seat
He then replaces nance as Speaker, becoming third in line for POTUS
joe is 14th Amended
kamala`s impeached
The Don`s back!

Not again! Here is a reminder of some of your lay bets on Biden, from that link, AFTER he had won...

Layed £5,000 at 1.02 losing £100
Layed £41,000 at 1.03 losing £1,230
Layed £53,500 at 1.04 losing £2,140
Layed £45,280 at 1.05 losing £2,264
Layed £15,000 at 1.06 losing £900
Layed £15,000 at 1.07 losing £1,050
Layed £4,000 at 1.08 losing £320
Layed £2,100 at 1.09 losing £189

Total layed £180,880. Total lost £8193.

How is it possible for someone to use nine plays out of 500?, 800?, 1,000? as evidence that I lost? No, really, how is such a thing even remotely conceivable? And it`s done repeatedly!! How can Betfair allow such abject ignorance and diminished capability anywhere near a gambling site? It really is beyond comprehension, but it`s good to be back CHORTLING at you embarrassing yourself so badly and so frequently
By:

When: 03 Sep 21 14:28
Tim, you yourself were on the main 2020 election thread on many occasions, backing Trump and laying Biden heavily. You lost heavily. You then made it worse by providing your own link showing you laying Biden after the election, when Biden had already won....

People who didn't believe polls saying Biden was 7-10 pts up in mid west states (that he won by less than 2%) were quite right.

No candidate is ever going to announce 3+ years ahead of the election. You gain absolutely nothing by doing so, and, as Blank, says, you incur costs. No one is going to be declaring they're running ahead of April 2023 IMO. I think Obama may have declared in December 2006 (?) because otherwise the 'inevitability' of Hilary was going to give her too big of a lead. Hilary herself didn't announce until mid 2007 from what I recall.

Were they? How does anyone know for certain how exact or accurate each poll was when it was conducted. All that was certain was that for Trump to win any of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, he needed a polling error outwith the margins of error. He achieved that margin of error but still lost all four.

Polls that have somebody 7 to 10
points up in a two horse race
are subject to a 6% sampling error.


That should be built in.

Did trump win the election?
By:
politicspunter
When: 03 Sep 21 17:06
Btw, the polling margins of error could just as easily have been in Bidens favour and he could have won all four states by huge margins.
By:
tobermory
When: 03 Sep 21 17:13
But Biden was never going to win any of them by huge margins.

My comments on the thread for the last 3 months were consistently that the polls were overstating Biden support and it was basically a coin flip.
By:
politicspunter
When: 03 Sep 21 17:22
It certainly was not a coin flip, far from it. Trump closed the gap in the last week but he was so far behind, his task was huge. You need to consider that despite Trump closing the gap and achieving results outwith the margins of error, he still lost all four states. Biden was a fabulous bet to win all four. He did.
By:
tobermory
When: 03 Sep 21 17:30
Did 'Trump close the gap', or was the big gap in the state polling always a flaw in those polls?

Nothing went right for Trump in the last couple of months... covid went on soaring, he even got it himself in an almost comical way. There were a lot of hopes riding on the debates but Trump didn't even win those.
By:
politicspunter
When: 03 Sep 21 17:37
Well, either you are correct and those states were always toss ups or almost every single poll was wrong.

The Don runs for a seat in Congress

Is this what the MAGA crazies think is going to happen? Grin

Yes, I wonder if he is any closer to announcing a decision to run or not? He has the momentum and Bidens approval figures are sliding badly.

No chance until much nearer 2024 - election fundraising comes under close scrutiny and there's no way Trump will want his grifting looked at until the last possible moment

Trump increased his vote

This is an important fact.

But, he lost a lot of more
moderate supporters.

The polls did suggest gap closed
in run in, this even showed up
in poll trackers using decay formula.

If you had chucked out older polls
quicker, and given more weight
to more recent polls then it was
even clearer.

Biden got record vote, but this
was predicted, I remember posting
