In reply to What Pollsters Have Changed

Nate Silver:

On the one hand, I'm still not convinced that state polls are consistent with the 10-11 point Biden lead shown by national polls.

On the other hand, this is still a very robust position for Biden in state polls.

doh, literally decades of practice, including learning the hard way the wrong ways you can do it:

What if Biden is actually good at this and Twitter, whose cognoscenti insisted for the entire primary that he wasn't, is actually bad at this?

The Upshot on Today’s Polls, Analysis of the day in polls, from now until Election Day by Nate Cohn @ NYTimes.com, 3 hours ago 23 days until Election Day

A 12-point lead, but with questions.

There’s a split in national and state polls.

[....]

Spotting the state-national split. One emerging pattern has been that the president isn’t doing quite as poorly in state polls as he is in national ones, and that trend continued this weekend.

An easy way to see this national/battleground split: Compare the numbers in the far-right column with the other numbers in the tables above; the column shows how the poll findings compare with the 2016 election result. As you can see, in today’s national polls, Joe Biden is running about 10 points ahead of Hillary Clinton’s election result, but the battleground state polls are typically shifting several points less than that, which is why you see lots of 6s and 7s in that column above.

That smaller difference qualifies as relatively good news for Mr. Trump. If he’s down by only six points in Michigan, then you can still imagine how a late break his way and another polling error might help him squeak out a win. That’s not so different from what happened four years ago. But if he’s down by 10, as the national polls suggest, he will need something that goes well beyond what happened four years ago.

State of the race. President Trump is running out of time to mount a comeback, so every day that the averages stay where they are is a bad day for him.

In 2016, @FiveThirtyEight's final polling average was Clinton 45.7%, Trump 41.8%. Today, it's Biden 52.2%, Trump 41.9%.

But beyond deficit, even more damning for Trump is the 5.9% undecided/3rd party share - less than half of 12.5% share four years ago. Far fewer late deciders. https://t.co/4dfaurPIKd

fox is touting this poll showing trump +3 with seniors in florida. but this is a poll with gop registration +1, but more importantly, trump won seniors in florida by 17 in 2016. if he's really only +3 there, he'd be in trouble. https://t.co/PXRlUMPad9
