Unfortunately, the coupon offer seems to be over.

I will probably do another poll this week or next.  Any suggestions?  I prefer doing polls for rarely-polled states.  I'm thinking maybe Nebraska.  If the sample size is large enough, we might be able to guestimate NE-02.

I'm unable to reply to messages. I'll suggest Mississippi if you run another poll.

Someone please do as many polls of Utah as possible. It is by far the most interesting state at this point.

That's a possibility. 

As I said in my PM to those who have conducted polls, I'm leaning toward Maine or Nebraska, but would consider 3-6 EV states that we haven't polled - so Idaho, South Dakota, Utah and Alaska are out.  If I did Maine, I'd strive for a big enough sample size to try to break out ME-2 to the extent possible - which it might not be, as not all IP addresses have towns associated with them.

I just put a Maine poll into the field.  Assuming Google agrees to the wording, it will read:
Maine Registered Voters:
If the presidential election were held today, who would you vote for?

Donald Trump of the Republican Party
Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party
Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party
Jill Stein of the Green Party
I am not likely to vote in Maine

with all but the not likely to vote choice randomized. 

There will be at least 833 respondents, which might give us 250 usable ME-02 respondents.

Too much.  It's 15 cents per respondent.  Do the math.  It's likely the end of my polling budget for the cycle.

TBH that looks a whole lot more believable than most of the polling we've seen out of Maine.

The reason the CDs don't add up to the statewide numbers is that there were 109 LVs without location info that voted Clinton +25 (weighted).  They mainly came from Google's Mobile App.

Here's a chart of how the weighted voted came in over time.  Margin is Trump minus Clinton, so Clinton lead if it was negative.  This is cumulative, i.e. the new votes for the hour were added to the prior votes in the chart.  Note that Trump was actually up for a short period of time, and ME-02 was competitive over much of the poll.  The votes that came in on Saturday changed the competitiveness of ME-02.  (Click for a larger view)

I created a new weighting template, which is much more user-friendly than the old one.  With Jimrtex's help, I also calculated separate coefficients for every category in every state, including the 45-54 and 55-64 categories.  Men and women in each category have different coeffiicients, too, instead of assuming the male/female percentage of every age subgroup breaks out according to the overall percentage in all groups.

I also added a feature to weight those without demographic information - if you choose to do so.  You can weight them 0 to not include them, 1 as average or any number you want.  Believe it or not, this sometimes greatly affects the overall results.

The major difference from the old template is that when you input the raw results data, you should now input the NUMBER of raw votes for each candidate in each category, not the percentage.  After inputting that information and the correct coefficients for your state (included in the second sheet of the spreadsheet), the spreadsheet should calculate everything else automatically.

The new template is here.

I'm finding some links to other Google Surveys commissioned by non-Atlas posters on 538.  Should we discuss them here or in a separate thread?

cinyc/Google Survey New Mexico Poll

LV Weighted: Clinton +15
Clinton 45%
Trump 30%
Johnson 17%
Stein 5%
McMullin 4%

330 probably LV with imputed age and sex info; November 4-6

Raw: Clinton +9
Clinton 42%
Trump 33%
Johnson 17%
Stein 4%
McMullin 4%

391 probably LV; November 4-6

If you weight those without demographic info evenly (weight=1), Clinton's lead shrinks to 10.  They were pro-Trump, unlike those with demo info.

More to come.
-----------------------------
So one of these polls is not like the others, showing the race close.  Who will be wrong?  Likely me.  But we'll have to wait until election night.

All polling was done in English-only, which is a limitation with general Google Surveys (you can do a bilingual Android Mobile App survey, but those skew too young to give reliable results).

Interesting that McMullin does so well in NM. I wouldn't've expected that.

I'm going to do a graph of the results over time, if I have time later today.  One reason it was likely close in the beginning is that Google Surveys usually starts with respondents from its mobile app, and they broke more for Trump than those from other sources.  Usually, they're more Democratic-leaning - but not in New Mexico. 

As you know, I also didn't start weighting the results until about 100 respondents were in, but once I didn't, I noticed that it really was a double-digit Clinton lead at that time because they were significantly under sampling women, who were much more pro-Clinton than men.
