calling it now: whenever nate releases the nyt/sienna it's gonna have it neck and neck, probably a smallish trump lead, and that lead is going to be basically entirely from, oh, let's say, a 40 to 50 point shift R among nonwhite 18-29s.

this will be, fundamentally, unchanged from every single other poll this year, and you can belive it's a plausible reflection of the outcome in november or not. oh actually let me add one more thing: nyt/sienna will probably show trump narrowly winning women. maybe even white women

Trump favored among people who could've voted in 2020 but didn't for some reason.

Gotta wonder if that translates to actual turnout or not

The real question, dead serious not being a smartass, is what the fuck is Nate Cohn's obsession with people who were eligible but didn't bother to vote and slapping the label "likely voter" on them for no apparent reason?

Like is the non-response/incomplete response problem so bad that this is just sticking as many fingers in as many holes as they can to try and stop the whole thing from collapsing?

This right here. If polling isn't useful people will stop paying for it, therefor it must work.

But if polling is too far off from reality no one will pay for it either, unless the grift here is one last cycle of money making
