Interesting. Well, some pollsters are going to be very wrong this year.

+23 lead to a +7 lead in a month? Oh.

For now, it's an outlier.

I wonder if everyone's gonna be wrong about MI's margin this year. Not that I believe that Stabenow will lose, anyway.

Oh great. Another two dozen headlines of James apparently closing the gap, blue wave receding, and Dems in dissaray. Just wait until the next Stabenow +17 poll.

they're not going to vote for a hack like JJ Abrams but they will vote for an energetic young man with a promising future who will actually represent their interests, John James.

Outlier or not, the trend is for James right now. There has been appreciable movement in every poll by every garbage Michigan pollster away from Stabenow towards James in the past few weeks.

It likely will NOT be enough for James to pull off the upset. Real Clear Politics shifted the race from Likely to Lean D as a result of this poll, FWIW.

+23 lead to a +7 lead in a month? Oh.

For now, it's an outlier.

When the RCP average for this race is Stabenow +3.5, then we'll talk. Otherwise, Safe D.

Safe to Likely maybe. It would take something incredible for James to win.

No, James will not win. No, I don’t think he will lose by double digits.

I see your laughable election night analysis of the Alabama Senate race has taught you nothing. Least of all circumspection or shame.

I enjoy coming back to the Alabama Senate results thread sometimes, in no small part to laugh at Ben Kenobi's mind model that failed miserably.

The surge is real. I'm from Michigan and was at the James rally. 4,000 people there and 6,000 rsvped . The lead is down to single digits right now and that's if you believe the polls. The race is close to margin of error right now. I don't know anyone voting for Stabenow besides 2 people who always vote dem all the swing voters I know are voting for James. James ads are working. Stabenows negatives are up big time

Arrogance isn't the best kind of response.

Nor is sanctimoniousness. And that says nothing whatsoever about the pure irony ore content of your own post.

 BTW, there was nothing arrogant about my post. An 8 to 1 odds offer in this case is a ready source of earning money. What you blithely refer to as arrogance was a flat-out moneymaker for me.

At least I've battle tested my model. It's made two wrong calls in recent elections.

VA for Trump, and the Alabama senate race.

It went 49-1 in the Trump election with correct calls for MN (Hillary), MI (Trump), PA (Trump), WI (Trump).

The only races it's miscalled are races where there is a large lead that gets turned over at the very end. And that's because the safety margin is not quite large enough.

The fix is rather easy, expand the margins to 1/2x, and make sure that the margin clears and stays over that line rather than bouncing right at the edge. And/or, hold off on calling tossups until 75 percent are in. 

Feel free to supply your own model and we'll see how it does in these senate elections. Smiley
