This from the Telegraph - 4 October 2020 - 1:44pm
'Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate in the US election, has extended his lead over Donald Trump in new poll following the President's admission to hospital.
The poll found that 51 per cent were backing Biden, while 41 per cent said they were voting for Trump.
Mr Biden's 10-point edge over the sitting President is 1 to 2 points higher than leads Biden posted over the past several weeks.
Almost two thirds Americans were also found to agree that "if President Trump had taken coronavirus more seriously, he probably would not have been infected."
Only 34 per cent said they thought that Trump has been telling them the truth about the coronavirus, while 55 per cent said that he was not and 11 per cent were unsure.' |  | | |  |

I was wondering if Trump would get the sympathy vote over this. Obviously not. |  | | |

What did the poles say last time?
Is there not a population of Trump voters who don't publically declare for him?
I feel it might be tighter if that is the case. |  |

Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing.
Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial.
Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid.

I think with over 200,000 dead and rising, a large percentage of previous Trump voters actually have a loved one who has died. When Trump is on tv calling it a hoax, or no big deal, or that it'll be honest by April, then summer, then there will be a vaccine by election day it must be hard to reconcile what you know with what you hear him say. |  |

The poles ?
The opinion polls had Hilary Clinton ahead by one or two points, not 10 as now. they also pointed towards a narrowing over the months leading up to the election - not a widening as now.
The 2018 midterm election polls were similarly accurate.
Trumps best hope now is to leg it to somewhere like Russia to escape the inevitable trial he is facing over his corrupt behaviour over the past few decades | | | |

A lot of people wanted to screw the system last time round and stupidly thought Trump was the guy to drain the swamp and all that horse shît. This time round they know what he has to offer.
Your average Trump supporter isn't shy about telling you their love for him. I'd say a silent voter block for Biden from the progressive left is just as likely. | |

In the last few years we've had opinion polls predicting a hung parliament when the Conservatives won, a Conservative win which was a hung parliament, a win for Remain over Leave and a win for Clinton over Trump.
Let's just keep the powder dry and see the results before getting excited about guesswork relying on people doing what they say they will do. |  |

Mmm, probably wise. Wouldn't want to tempt fate - or allow voters to become complacent - not that many eligible to vote are on here of course. |  |

What you have stated is incorrect.
We have had polls that have pretty much been spot on, right across the board. Peddling misinformation will not change that either.
As you can see below the current average of all the polls over the past few months have shown Biden to be winning enough seats to take control of the lower house.
https://www.270towin.com/maps/biden-trump-polling-map
What this map also shows is that if Trump were to win ALL the 'close' states he would still lose, As someone who has watched this sort of stuff. I can assure you that when the polls remain this static they turn out to be spot on.
Unfortunately for Trump some of those close states, which had him a head by a few points (within the margin of error), now have him losing by a few points ..... Florida.
Put bluntly, if your horse is a few lengths behind in the furlong you need it to be gaining, not falling further behind [Post edited 4 Oct 2020 14:40]

Tempt fate ?
Commenting on current polling is widespread, and if your words above had any meaning then the current commenting in the US would have caused the democratic vote to have fallen, not risen. | | | |

I am right, on the basis that I am stating what is fact
ie current polls, and how previous polls have matched the results
I would even go as far as to say the horse racing analysis is 'right' - the election is now less than a month away and far from gaining ground, Trump is falling further behind (as stated by the polls) | | | |

The one which Stokie very kindly debunked for you?
US election megathread by StokieBlue 23 Sep 2020 9:56Nate Silver has long been seen as a good modeler and as you say, his website 538 is a really excellent read.
For those interested I recommend reading the papers on the modelling methodology and how various different scenarios are taken into account. It's a good read:

Strange definition of debunked - StokieBlue said they'd changed the modelling since 2016. So that doesn't make 2016 correct then does it? | |

"opinion polls predicting a hung parliament when the Conservatives won, a Conservative win which was a hung parliament, a win for Remain over Leave and a win for Clinton over Trump. "
as stated none of those supposed polls were published so close to the vore as now
nor were they based on a fairly consistent and prolonged period
they also do not reflect any longer term trend
I could claim that polls putting Labour 25 points behind in the 2017 election show how polls are wrong - if I did not then show the following polls up to the election itself
so to clarify, the US polls have shown Biden consistently ahead in the overall poll for months, have shown a gradual widening of that lead in recent weeks and have also shown that in the marginal states there has been a consistent, if small, move away from Trump to Biden
those three qualifications are enough to suggest that Biden will win comfortably
however do note the word suggest | | | |
