Terrible poll for McSally. I thought she was likely to pull it off, but now I'm not so sure. It's still a tossup.

What a surprise, good polling shows something different than the crappy online and R polling we have gotten for the past couple weeks.

Lets see what else Marist has in store.

Yes, I am going to unscew that Poll a bit

Party ID
Republicans 35
Independents 35
Democrats 28

R + 7 Electorate

Marist is NUTS. The current Party Breakdown of the Ballots that have been already returned are
Republicans 43.7
Democrats 33.1
Independents 22.7

So, Marist claims that over the next 5 Days (Early Voting) + Election Day the Independent Share of the Electorate will go from 22.7 to 35. That is absolutely INSANE and CRAZY.
They also say that in the same time Republicans drop from 43.7 to 35, an 8.7-Point Drop in 5 Days + Election Day...completely unreasonable.

Racial Breakdown
65 % White
4 % African-American
19 % Latino
13 % Other

No way it will be 65 % White, 35 % Non-White.

They also claim 15 % of Voters will be 18-29.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE POLLSTERS?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE POLLSTERS?

1) Party ID and party registration are two different things mate. The ballots returned are party registration, the numbers you cite are party ID.
2) What makes a 65-35 white/non-white electorate odd? Arizona’s population is only 58% non-Hispanic white.
3) What makes 15% of voters being <30 strange? Despite its reputation, Arizona actually has a lower median age than the nation as a whole.

The Election Day Electorate will not have 35% of Indies I bet my House on that. Also the Election Day Electorate will not be R + 7. More likely it will be between R+9/R+10.

Latinos will not vote (19%)

Marist is using almost a 2016 Election Day Model

https://edition.cnn.com/election/2016/results/exit-polls/arizona/president (https://edition.cnn.com/election/2016/results/exit-polls/arizona/president)

18-29 in the 2016 AZ Exit Poll was 14% now they claim MidTerm 18-29 is 15% (1-Point higher)
Racial Breakdown in 2016 AZ Exit Poll was
75% White
2 African American
15% Latino
2 % Asian
5 % Other
A 75-25 White/Non-White

The Party ID in the 2016 AZ Exit Poll

Democrats 28
Republicans 32
Independents 40

Bottom Line: Non of this makes sense at all.

So, you really believe Latinos will vote at a higher Rate in the 2018 MidTerm (19%) than in the 2016 Presidential Election (15%) when Democrats argueably had the highest Turnout in an Election ever? This defies common sense.

That is a complete falsehood. Democrats had rather low turnout in 2016, its literally the reason Clinton lost WI and had close margins in a handful of other states.

It should be noted that EV, polling, and other factors point to higher Hispanic turnout, but whatever fits your narrative.

LOL, How many Hispanics live in WI. Comparing the Hispanic Vote in WI to AZ is just BS.

Hispanics were at 11% Nationally 2016, in many Western States they were above that....

AZ: 15%
NM: 40%
CA: 31%
CO: 12%
TX: 24%

Hispanic Turnout will be higher in 2018 compared to previous MidTerms I will grant you that. However it will not be performing at Presidential Levels or above that and that's was very wrong here.

Why do R hacks like 2016 have to be so boring?

At least some D hacks like Solid are entertaining because they at least might have a couple races they’re too pessimistic on (like UT-04/FL-27 with Solid). R hacks are just overly optimistic on every single race.

Check this guy out. It’s interesting that republicans feel like they need to start using liberal talking points if they want to win in our state. Also if you know McSallys healthcare record try not to cringe.

https://youtu.be/egKdDw8ybgU

Anyone else notice how mcsally ditched her “I’m a tough fighter pilot and I talk like one” persona for the sweet girl persona. The “tough fearless fighter pilot” persona was always funny to me considering she literally abandoned her district because she was afraid she wouldn’t get re-elected.

That's not the Problem. The Problem is "PRINCIPLE" by Marist. There is no H2H in AZ between Sinema and McSally so they shouldn't be asking this Question.

Meanwhile...



Campaign Polling by both Parties suggesting AZ Senate Race is much, much tighter what Public Poling is saying.

When polls list top lines with and without third-party candidates, I usually take the true top line to be somewhere between the two, as third party candidates almost always underperformed on election day.

An encouraging poll, but I'd still call this a Toss-Up.

OH Predictive Insight is so caught up on oversampling that it makes me wonder if they are weighting their polls by party ID which has in the past produced inaccurate results.

Why do R hacks like 2016 have to be so boring?

At least some D hacks like Solid are entertaining because they at least might have a couple races they’re too pessimistic on (like UT-04/FL-27 with Solid). R hacks are just overly optimistic on every single race.
Solid is a hack, sure, but he is very numbers oriented. He was/is super down on ojeda,for example

Unskewing polls is one of the most ridiculous things ever.

So is arguing with an ideological mayfly who will disappear a week after election day, rather than putting him on ignore. ;)

Mike Noble, Chief Pollster of "OH Predictive Insights" who will release their Final AZ Poll (Governor & Senate) tomorrow agrees with me on the NBC/Marist Poll...



Someone who put out a poll that was as junky as their last one really has no room to criticize another poll.

Some much needed good news. At least the Democrats in the Senate will gain something!

They'll definitely gain Nevada. :)

I think so too, but I'm not as sure as you and xingkerui seem to be.

They have emphasized for months that Nevada is a automatic Democratic pickup. While I think it's foolish to take that position, I also do believe that the environment favors Rosen and that she will win narrowly.

Yeah, I'm interested to see Ralston's tweets about today's voting.

Omg, you do realise this is 2018, not 2012 right? Unskewing polls is one of the most ridiculous things ever.

So, you really believe Latinos will vote at a higher Rate in the 2018 MidTerm (19%) than in the 2016 Presidential Election (15%) when Democrats argueably had the highest Turnout in an Election ever? This defies common sense.
Apparently it did happen (https://edition.cnn.com/election/2018/exit-polls/arizona/senate). Also the electorate was R+6. So yet another refutation of the ridiculous poll unskewing idea.
