>You really are a simpleton >Republicans got over 60 percent ffs >It's ridiculous rank voting that caused the misnomer. The GOP can retake the Alaskan house seat, even under the new ranked-choice system, but not with Palin who is deeply unpopular even amongst her own party. So, it's true the combined GOP candidates managed 60%, Palin with 58K and Begich with 53K in the first round. But for those who made Begich their first choice only 27K of them could stomach voting for their own party's Palin as their second choice, and 15K of them preferred the Democrat over Palin, with the remaining 10k either being too stupid to understand the rules, or wanting neither of the remaining two options as their second choice. This closely matched the opinion poll in late July which correctly gave the Democrat as winning against Palin in the second round by 51% to 49% (52/48 actual). That same poll gave Begich a 55% to 45% victory over the democrat had he finished second in the first round, so if Begich gets second in the first round in November the seat will most likely switch back to the GOP, but if Palin comes second then a GOP win becomes more problematical. |

With the Roe SCOTUS decision likely being a prime driver in new female voter registrations, I wonder if pollsters have been updating their weighting models to reflect this for the November elections. I presume the weighting for midterm polls are different from general polls anyway since it’s generally the more politically motivated who participate in them, but this year they may well be a slightly different weighting needed to reflect an increase in women and especially younger women who may well vote in larger numbers than is normal.
The special elections since the Roe decision on 24 June 2022, have been a bell weather warning for the GOP - https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/yes-special-elections-really-are-signaling-a-better-than-expected-midterm-for-democrats/ - with the Dems doing better than expected in all 4, either by losing by less than expected or actually winning in New York’s 12th. New York’s 12th is quite interesting. At the moment on the “lean index” it’s an R+4, but it’s a true swing district switching between GOP and DEMS as the wind blows. Of the last 4 special it was the most polled with 4 polling companies producing polls for the district. The GOP leaning - Triton Polling & Research – had two polls giving the GOP initially a +14 (Pre-DOB) and a +10 (post-DOB). All 3 Democrat leaning pollsters were Post-Dob and gave the GOP a +3%, +3%, and +8%. The actual result was a democratic win by +2%. So did the polling companies have the wrong weightings, and if they did, will be see a swing of up to 5% over the polling numbers towards the Dems in some seats this November? |

Hi Martin. This is what I have noticed. Polling companies, even the best ones are underestimating sections of the electorate post Dobbs, Black women voters and Latino women voters in particular. Marist (top rated pollster) have a poll released today for Georgia, 47-42 Warnock, which is fair enough. However, their women likely vote is 49% when it should be nearer 55-60% so that suggests to me that the lead is likely to be greater than their raw figure, particularly in Atlanta and suburbs.

Btw, in that Georgia Senate election, Walker should be helped by the Kemp vote. However, he won't be if it goes to a fairly likely run off.

I suppose against that we have to put another 538 article from last week - Will The Polls Overestimate Democrats Again? - - https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/will-the-polls-overestimate-democrats-again/ - which references the NYT article - Yes, the Polling Warning Signs Are Flashing Again
- https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/12/upshot/polling-midterms-warning.html - Both have a slightly different take on the presidential polls in 2016 and 2020 overestimating the democratic numbers in certain states, and the possibility of that recurring in the senate races. |

My personal favourite is a possible 2%-3% error from where GOP women who in public say they oppose abortion when within earshot of their Husbands, but want their “little princesses” to have the same choice they had if they had an unwanted pregnancy. The following is a post from a NYT comment section which may well reflect the opinion of some GOP voting women. Not all of course, but you don’t need all of them to vote Dem in the seclusion of a voting booth to turn enough close races for it to make a difference.
“As a married woman (25 years and counting) and mother of three, I would personally not have an abortion. However, I, like many women, feel very strongly that the option needs to be there for our daughters and granddaughters, sisters, cousins, nieces and friends. Most women know another woman who was a victim of violence, and without the right to abortion those victims of violence would become pawns of men, forced to endure unwanted pregnancies.” |

My personal take on the Presidential elections of 2016 and 2020 was that the polls were correct and Trump closed the gap dramatically in the last week or so before voting by hammering away negatively at Hillary (lock her up) and Biden (too old and senile). It worked with Hillary (just) and it nearly worked with Biden. Trump (MAGA) has become a liability though and the more he is mentioned, the better for Democrats.

@tbonier · 5h In Georgia, 37% of the mail ballot requests have come from Black voters, and 60% from women. In 2020, 30% of mail ballots were cast by Black voters, 56% by women. |

BATTLE FOR U.S. SENATE SEAT
In the race for U.S. Senate, the BW Ohio Pulse Poll has Ryan with a 3-point edge over Republican nominee J.D. Vance (48 to 45%), with 7% still undecided. Ryan holds larger leads among Independents, who favor the Democrat by 7 points, and women, who support Ryan by a 13-point margin. "The race to replace retiring Republican Senator Rob Portman continues to poll surprisingly close considering the state's tilt to the right in recent years," said Dr. Thomas Sutton, who heads up BW's Community Research Institute. "The candidates are in a statistical tie with leaners added in." "Still, Ryan's candidacy remains strong in the face of an influx of GOP PAC money to buy television advertising for Vance and support from former President Donald Trump, who most recently staged a rally with Vance on Ryan's home turf of Youngstown," Sutton noted. "With two-and-a-half weeks until early voting begins in Ohio on October 12, a lot is riding on the final weeks of the campaign and how the undecideds break." |
