State polls typically miss by a lot, six points or so. In 2016 they undercounted Trump in his big 3, Michigan, PA, Wisconsin by five or six. In 2018 state polls were typically off by six. Except for Siena NYT which seems to have a better methodology. They poll from actual official lists of registered voters, not by random calls. I don’t know how they get their phone numbers but they do. They ask for a specific person, say Eric Trump. If he isn’t there they call back later. They only poll Eric at that number.

The big error in 2016 seemed to be not getting enough low educated young white males in the samples, a group which went for Trump at a high rate. In these Siena polls they forced their pool to have a predetermined mix on education, to avoid that error. Doing that increases the Trump vote by about 3 this year so without that fix Trump would probably look about 3 points worse.

These polls are total crushers for Trump. I haven’t looked yet but I predict a big decline for Trump in the betting markets.

The beauty of this is that we only need 3 of these to win and Trump needs 4.
