I wouldn't trust Nate Silver to accurately guess this, he didn't the last couple times. One was completely off (16) and the other was a wildly closer decision than his projections.

The conservatives that matter, the ones who don't go in for the buffoon showmanship but rather show up and vote, they are not participating in polling like this. That's part of the Liberal Media.

nate is not a pollster. his model takes into account the margins of error that you mention. i trust him when he says it's close but you are probably right that trump is ahead.

I've started another project because I need a distraction from all of this.

Sample size for all of these polls is too small.

Silver is likely right that a landslide won't be in the cards, but no one else seems to think it'll be a landslide either.

I'm not saying Trump is ahead, I'm just saying that hubris makes Nate the 'weatherman of ideology' or whatever goofy thing we could call him. There is a vast constituency on the conservative side that just gets forgotten about every time this comes up, and he's never been great at accounting for it.

It's like when people tell me Texas is gonna go blue. I just can't imagine that happening, and if you grew up outside of a major metro area in that state, you shouldn't be able to either. The work has been done to ensure that this won't be the case.

It feels like it boils down to: is the Trump campaign's "innovative" get-out-the-vote effort ultimately bullshit or a very nasty surprise in the making? Also worth noting that significant resources that could be used here are going to "election monitoring" instead.

At least one prominent web site (one to which Nate Silver contributes!) says that Texas is one of several likely tipping point states and is NOT a "Solid R".
