Latest Elon poll for NC is tied. 44-44-4.

Also has Burr up 4 on Ross.

[Edited on November 1, 2016 at 1:02 PM. Reason : Last Elon poll was C+6 and this tie was PRE-Comey ]

anyone who says the race is remotely close doesnt understand how the electoral college works. trump going from winning states to landsliding in states doesnt mean anything.

If the nowcast stays as is but Trump wins NC and FL and McMullin takes Utah we have my dream scenario of no one getting 270 and a random third party actually having a chance to be president. That is the only thing that could make this election anymore insane.

The reality is GOP and GOP-leaning indies were always going to come home.

A closer race doesn't fit Earls everything was rigged narrative. He can basically be ignored.

Empirically it is still very likely Clinton wins and the GOP holds the Senate now but that is far more fluid than it was a week ago.

[Edited on November 1, 2016 at 1:17 PM. Reason : ^ wat? Trump would obviously be pres in that scenario. And it's still highly unlikely]

I mean I think she's gonna win but I don't get what changed.

It is just trolling but what is going on over there?

What does "defend" poll numbers mean. Tracking polls are garbage, they always have been. Any poll that shows a 13 point swing in a week should be completely ignored. No other national poll has shown a swing that large, in fact most have held perfectly steady at a 5-7 lead for Clinton.

even newt was 67% right in a tweet about it. polls shouldn't be ignored. outlier polls should be.



tracking polls are indeed garbage. this still pales in comparison to the absurdity of the LA Times tracker that gives one black kid a 30x weighting to make his one voice represent a huge swath of america.

this FBIRecordsVault is sketchy as fuck. A verified account that claims to be "the official FBI Records Management Division Twitter" that barely posted before is suddenly posting a bunch of stuff related to the election.

I hope that its not connected to the FBI in anyway, because if so someone needs to shut it down

So this would be consistent with what? A 4 or 5 point national lead for Trump. To be +7 here would likely mean a Trump landslide, no?

Y'all are really going to bedwet over every single outlier poll these last 7 days, aren't you? SurveyUSA has a terrible history polling NC, here's a poll after the 2008 RNC where they had McCain up 20 points in NC,

http://abc11.com/archive/6380065/

Let me ruin the suspense: Hillary is going to win every Obama 2012 state + NC - IA. She might lose Ohio too, but early voting is looking better there every day. Shrike out.

The FBI said its legally required to release results immediately from a FOIA request thus the tweet.

Must not have gotten any for that full year in between tweets.

Nope, they released a bunch the day before. One on Nikola Tesla (???), Trump's dad, Petraeus, and Hillary's FBI testimony (which had already been released in Sept). Various other documents.

It's very bizarre.

The Tesla thing is especially interesting. Some people are claiming it to be an homage to this weird 4chan time travel story about Fred Trump and Tesla, lending credibility to "FBIAnon".

I don't buy it, but it is strange.

The thing with being a conspiracy theory 'fan' is that it requires tons of attention and patience, with very little actual payoff in the end. It's similar to getting sucked into the UNC cheating scandal and following tweets/posts incessantly, building your hopes and dreams up that the best case scenario will eventually happen (NCAA death penalty), but in the end it's all just a tease and then you're left feeling dumb and pissed off about how unfair the world actually is. You seem to really enjoy them, but so far, what concrete results have you gotten?

No, we do. I'm honestly not really worried about the popular vote. What bothers me is that states that have been solid blue/lean blue are now pretty close to being within the MOE and could very well go for Trump. I never counted OH as blue, but FL/NC scare me.

I'm not necessarily concerned at this point. Right now I'm disappointed that it's not going to be the blowout it looked like a week ago.

The only thing that does concern me is that there haven't been a lot of recent polls in Colorado, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I think people have been focused for so long on Pennsylvania as the most likely firewall state to flip, but I think she has it locked down and there has been tons of polling done there. Those other 3 haven't seen quite as much.

Lots from the DNC/Podesta leaks. DNC/HRC collusion, media collusion, debates scheduled to favor Clinton, foreign governments paying the Clinton Foundation for access to Bill/Hillary/Chelsea, Citi exec drafting most of Obama's cabinet, etc etc. In any other election, or if this information came out during the primary, things would be different. But Trump though...

Is that a reputable source? It seems like if you don't post something from Huffington, CNN, Salon or Washington Post, it isn't a legitimate source.

But if so, holy shit that's corrupt.

But I bet every president does it. Big oil probably picked Bush's cabinet.
