CNN has it at 39, MSNBC 46. When I hear Kornacki touting the NBC numbers they just don't feel right.

(94,727 posts)The key is that there are so many in play that the odds for a net win favor the Democrats. Very few people question the assertion that almost every individual race has close polling.

(19,970 posts)The way republicans have been acting in the last week, even Trump, they know that the House is toast for them, yet Kornacki can't even admit that. Instead he's trying to hype up that it's neck and neck. Aside from that, I think they have all underestimated the effect of independent voters on this election. The cumulative special elections over the last 18 months cannot be an aberration. Something's been happening that I don't think has been fully understood.

2) How (man on the street? land line phone? internet? wireless?)
3) Polling represents 3.5% polling error either way around 42%
4) Specifics on how the question was asked
5) Which polling organization

(11,645 posts)The other thing that makes it more accurate is that not only does he average the polls but he adjusts them for house effects... so, for example, when rasmussen comes out with garbage like Trump +1 it gets adjusted to accommodate for their consistent bias.

(13,340 posts)A lot of folks don't realize that the population model used influences the results a LOT. That's how Rasmussen manages to show numbers so high for Trump.... their population model vastly favors Republicans.
