[POLL] United States Presidential Elections 2016

[Sanji Himura]

The GTP Decision Desk can now project the following:

Trump wins in Alabama and Mississippi
Clinton wins in New Jersey, Delaware and Illinois

 

[ukfan758]

Not really surprising but:


ABC News projects that Republicans will keep the House.

 

[Dennisch]

Johnson is doing great. The highest number I've seen so far is 3.7%.

Eh.

 

[Sanji Himura]

The GTP Decision Desk can now project that:

Hillary Clinton wins Maryland

I haven't been following this closely but still find it a bit crazy so many people are voting for Trump. Isn't he going to try to screw the country over with the global elite benefitting most while claiming to be against the people of his kind? Impressive how effective propaganda can be if that's the case.

Either way that's what will end up happening.

In case anyone was looking for some incentive to vote for Trump. Here's some celebrities that say they will leave but really won't.

Lena Dunham & Amy Schumer are reasons enough; Al Sharpton is the cherry. George Lopez? That ass was bitching about Bush building a wall, but didn't make a peep about Obama's record number of deported people. The guy is just one big die-hard Liberal.

Seeing Johnson do as well as he is should give a bit of a warning that this election has sucked. He's gotten as high as 5.0% in a couple states.

I guess a lot of people like to feel the Johnson!

 

[Pupik]

Some precincts are smaller than others...

Partly because it's been so long since we've had a Johnson.

You're right, you haven't been following this closely see: Clinton Cash on YT

Trump makes a dramatic comeback in Florida... up by 130k+ with only 9% to go..still in it for 270....

It's choosing between two evils

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I have four different maps open (CNN, The Guardian, NYT, and Fox) and they're all saying different things.

Think I might step away to do my heart some good.

 

[ukfan758]

ABC News 9pm projections:

Texas: Trump
Kansas: Trump
Nebraska: Trump
South Dakota: Trump
North Dakota: Trump
Wyoming: Trump
New York: Clinton

 

[Saidur_Ali]

Either way that's what will end up happening.

Don't see that happening if Hillary wins. If Trump wins, I can see him causing a lot of damage to the US in a short period of time which will in turn have a negative impact on the world economy.

On 2 XM stations I was listening to a few days ago, both journalists at the time said whoever takes Florida will likely win. I wonder if that's still the case.

Apparently what we can take as fact for the time being; Clinton has 97 electoral votes across all 4. Trump's ahead in them except for CNN, though.

 

[ukfan758]

ABC projects Arkansas will go to Trump and Connecticut will go to Clinton.

 

[Sanji Himura]

The GTP Decision Desk can now project the following:

Trump wins in the following states:
Maine (whole state)
Arkansas
North Dakota
Kansas
Texas

Clinton wins in New York.

The GTP Decision Desk is unwilling to project the following:

Trump wins in South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and North Dakota

The "surprise" at how well Trump is doing can possibly be explained by Shy Tory Factor.

Public support for X is unpopular so groups of people stay quiet about it right up until casting their ballot. Thus, all the polls and predictions appear wrong.

 

[Dotini]

The stock futures market is down over 200. Something is not going to script.

 

[Dennisch]

I'm back with CNN and according to them Trump is taking some serious swing states at the moment.

And with that in mind, a Brexit-sized error in the polls is probably all Trump needs to win............

......if the presidency was determined by the popular vote.

He's looking good according to the Beeb.

Can't blame them for not wanting to be criticized either way for voting Trump or Clinton. If they really believe one of the two is the best fit then so be it, most don't see it that way and want to criticize rather than inform what a vote for either actually means.

 

[McLaren]

I'm sure you've seen those folks who are touted as, "Predicted every election correct since 19xx". In the ones I saw that said Trump would win, they referenced Brexit and what caused it to come as a surprise is happening now.

Of course, the results still have to be seen, but those folks appear to be on point for the time being.

Edit* NYT poll is showing Trump starting to claim most of the east coast. Wonder if he's still projected to take Nevada & Arizona.

The one based on no evidence right? Ain't wasting my time watching nonsense.

It's choosing between two evils

One will leave the country maybe in trillions more in debt, the other maybe billions more in debt. I agree with Trump that if he wins, it will be like Brexit plus plus plus.

 

[Tornado]

I find it hilarious that she was supposed to walk some of these states.

 

[TRGTspecialist]

......if the presidency was determined by the popular vote.

You're right it's ultimately about the states, but according to minds better than mine, polling errors are correlated across states, and swing states in particular are responsive to swings in the national vote.
