Maybe I misunderstand you.
I see post debate polls for AK, MI, WI, NH, NC
on the link I provided.

Not disagreeing with you that we need to keep fighting, but this post is about post debate polls. You keep referring to polling averages, and in the case of swing states these are not post debate. It will take some time for the post debate picture to emerge, but it is important not to confuse the matter by responding to the posible emergence of a post debate trend by citing pre-debate polling. If you have reliable post debate swing state data that would be great.

@mastodonmigration @tchambers @KamalaHarrisWin The problem is that $5 and winning the national popular vote will get you coffee at Starbucks⦠and nothing else.
What ultimately matters is winning just a handful of swing states β that and that alone will decide the outcome of this election.
(No, itβs not right and not fair, but itβs not changing before Novemberβ¦)

Yes, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 2% and still lost the election. It will not happen that a candidate wins the popular vote by 5% and loses the election.

Getting comments here about how it's still close and we need to keep working. Of course we do, with everything we've got.
But let's not be afraid of pulling out to a nice lead.
Let's have a short discussion about virtuous cycles and vicious cycles...

According to Simon Rosenberg, who really understands these things (Hopium Chronicles https://www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/kamala-won-polling-is-good-trump 8:37)
"A virtuous cycle is where we're doing well, more people come our way, Joy generates joy and more people and we sort of kick in this virtuous cycle where more money comes in, we reach more voters, our campaign gets stronger and bigger and we just keep getting bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger as we get closer to election day."

Yes, and my understanding is that this still doesn't include data from after the debate.

Attached: 1 image These polls are significant. Ipsos is one of the most reliable pollsters that exist, and they happen to be in agreement with the substantial data collected by Morning Consult (a less good pollster, but 3000+ samples makes the data hard to ignore). The recent polling also agrees with SoCal's, which is paid for by Republican sponsors. And all this data is from before the debate, and before some endorsements. Better than good. #Dems #VoteBlue #Harris2024 #HarrisWalz2024 #election2024 #HarrisWalz

It's actually going to look better than this in a few days.

It's to early to know for sure, but the Harris Campaign may be entering a virtuous cycle. This would be a very good thing.
On the other hand...
"They [Trump] may last night [debate] have begun to enter a vicious cycle where there is doubt about the candidate, where people hold back their money, where they don't volunteer and their thing starts to erode, right? I don't know that yet, but it's very possible..."

Bottom line. We want to be careful not to get over confidant, but there is nothing wrong with running up the score. If managed correctly a strong lead invigorates the troops and demoralized the enemy!

Here's hoping this virtuous cycle helps the Democrats take both chambers of Congress!

Polling aggregate models will lag a little longer still.

Just FYI, Rosenberg says to just ignore Nate Silver...
"My advice to you is I would ignore him completely. And I don't think... he's not in the forecasting business anymore. He's in some other business. He has a book that he's trying to sell. So he's trying to make a lot of noise. I would just stick to my work, to Tom Banya, to FiveThirtyEight, which is I'm using as sort of an objective source."

I don't because it's useful to highlight when he's wrong.
Other people can do whatever they want, I think blinders are less useful.
-
@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
I think people who tell you to ignore different stats methods when things don't go their way aren't very good interpreting stats and they only use stats as propaganda material.
I use stats to try to understand what's actually going on.
Other people can do whatever they want, they can use blinders and lie to themselves all they want.
-
It's all good. Just letting you know Rosenberg's take on Silver.
-
@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
By the way, whoever says "Don't trust him, trust me and my work instead" is very transparently incompetent in my view and automatically untrustworthy.
But that's just me and I don't tell people what to do.

Lots of questions about Silver and his relationship with Peter Thiel.
-
@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
Silver's model is being used by his former mates of FiveThirtyEight under the umbrella of ABC News.
I think it's not very smart -I actually think it's extremely stupid- for a statistician to ignore polls because somebody said he may be pals with Thiel.
I am aware of the fact that polls are sometimes used to lie. It's a core feature of pollsters.
But knowing how much they're lying and their biases and interpreting that is extremely useful.
