The wrong way to look at this. 288,672 (# of Dem. Pres. Primary votes) /614,274 (Reg DEM + Undeclared in 2008) = 47% turnout 254,776/641,848 (2016) = 40% turnout 283,791 (AND COUNTING) /683,798 (2020) = 42% turnout Source: @ElectProject + @NHSecretary sos.nh.gov/NamesHistory.aspx
With 97% in, turnout in the NH Dem primary is 283,400. In 2016, it was 250,983. In 2008, it was 287,557. With about two dozen towns left, the final number should end up above that 2008 level.

Today I turned 30. Since 2013, I've hosted a big pizza party w/ a dip in a lovely public pool down the street. This year...not so much. I had grand designs...but it wasn't in the cards. At the same time, w/out COVID my wife wouldn't have rediscovered baking & made this cheesecake

I wish “testing messages” meant RCTs and survey experiments, not asking which message is convincing or likely to change your mind, when we have good research suggesting those metrics have problems alexandercoppock.com/project…
Wisconsin is critical to taking back the White House. That's why our latest poll asks Wisconsin general election voters what a campaign would ask to craft its strategy on the ground. Here's the latest from #PollerCoaster2020: crooked.com/articles/pollerc…

EXCLUSIVE: Scott Wiener is done waiting on Nancy Pelosi. He’s running in 2026, sources say San Francisco’s state senator previously said he would wait for Pelosi to retire from Congress, but polling and a progressive challenger changed the game. sfstandard.com/2025/10/16/sc…

It brings me so much naches to see @yghitza & @StatModeling are being honored by @AAPOR for their important work on MRP, from the extensive applications to voter files @Catalist_US & around the world — we better understand so much in very profound ways because of this research

Biden two-way vote share per AJC poll: ~73%. Biden two-way vote share per AP Votecast (2020): ~69%. Looks like Biden's made gains w/ Jewish voters to me!
NEW American Jewish Committee poll of Jewish voters: Biden 61 Trump 23 Largely unchanged from 2020 exit poll (AP VoteCast), which showed Biden winning Jewish vote over Trump, 68-30%. jewishinsider.com/2024/06/aj…

Worth noting that at this point in time, while the macro-forecasting models of Pres. elections were not high on Obama, his polling (both RV + LV) was on avg. strong going into the calendar year 2012. (Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nati…, God I miss @pollsterpolls)
Seeing a lot on here today about Biden’s poll numbers. I happen to know a thing or two about this. Polls this far out are a distraction. This same time before the '12 election, pollsters were crawling over each other to call it for the GOP. BTW, Obama won.

Not to be ~that guy, but Cuomo hitting his @LoganR2WH/@RacetotheWH polling average ON THE DOT but the non Lander/Mamdani candidates all 📉 falling off a cliff in round 1 is an interesting wrinkle

This "progressive" coalition rent control bill proposal in Howard County, MD is possibly the WORST bill on this topic I have seen. ❌3% cap OR CPI (whichever is lower) on rent ❌NO exemptions(!!!) for new construction ❌Vacancy control (rent stays the same from tenant to tenant)

Do you think this enterprising grad student discovered that the WI voter file has a great deal of missing age information, no data on party registration to speak of, & almost no information on partisan primary vote history?
