I'm still convinced Hillary's going to win, the only question is by how much? Just because Trump is FAR worse, it doesn't make her any more appealing. If she were up against anyone else, shes be done. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBoot 27 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 People said Brexit would never happen -- and it did (much to the dismay of my husband and I living in the UK-- I'm American, he's Swedish). I used to think Trump would never win, but now I'm not sure. We're losing our damn minds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she were up against anyone else, shes be done. I don't entirely disagree with that really. The two of them are pretty much being pitted against the only people they can really beat at this point Just now, thehanyo said: Yeah, let's all vote for some anti-vaccine, Brexit-loving woman whose biggest job she's had is head of the local school board. Stein isn't actually anti-vaccine. She just gives credit to the people that are skeptical of vaccines...imo, that's still pretty bad. Her most anti-science stance has to be her stance on GMOs though. At least Bernie makes a little sense when he pushes for labels but she just wants to outright ban them even though they've never been proven to be harmful in any way Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupo 201 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 fivethirtyeight still has her at 59%, and as far as aggregate models go, I'm still sticking with them. Their methodology is transparent and pretty rigorous. The good thing about this election is that of all the "swing" states, Hillary basically just has to hold on to PA, VA, NH, and CO. She can lose OH, NC, FL, NV, and IA and still come out on top. I think that's an achievable electoral college map. I've not yet hit panic mode, but she definitely needs to switch the momentum. If polls still look this grim after next week (most of the polls we've been getting are reflective of that point a week ago with the "deplorables" and health scare--in other words, the very nadir of her campaign thus far), then I'll be worried.

imnotyourbabe10 6,120 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Supported Bernie by caucusing for him and continue to listen to his advice. Love me some Dr. Stein, too. Not sure what to do this year when I'm at the polls. As someone who has been only thru two election cycles, I sincerely apologize to first-time voters--it is not usually this dreadful! Adults truly do not know how to "adult." It's all just a Perfect Illusion Never want to discuss 2016 again...even if things do get better eventually. Been keeping up with Nate Silver's work...a solid stats dude...which is why I keep getting concerned. Will wait to see how the debates unfold, though. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/ Currently in the process of down-sizing and boxing up/selling some of my stuff because I want to be flexible and able to move ASAP (I know--it's an all too common threat if Atomic Orange gets in office). Just not feeling the vibe of the US anymore and sadly don't want to stick around to help it get better regardless of who wins. 7 hours ago, Seeka said: AOL though... like... how is AOL still alive?

This comes after a bleak month for Hillary, who saw declining numbers multiple times this month after more email leaks and escalating press coverage of her health being seen as weak. Trump, on the other hand, has had a brilliant month and image revitalization after he visited the inner city of Flint, Michigan, donated to Louisiana flood victims, and a weekend of ISIS related threats that Trump is seen as tougher on. His new management has also drawn him away from scandal and surrounded him with "good moments" and photo ops instead of twitter feuds and one off statements. Trump also saw a unique rise in the African American community, becoming the first republican candidate in six decades to score over 20% of the African American vote. According to AOL and RealPolitics, if the election were held today, he would win. http://www.aol.com/article/2016/09/12/polls-trump-gaining-on-clinton-lead-shrinking/21469878/ The article you linked to doesn't say any of the things you just asserted, other than that his chances are improving -- but are still only (according to FiveThirtyEight, as cited by AOL) 30%.
