let me put it this way: once you control for race, the income coefficient is close to zero, and in fact may be negative for mamdani (super-rich whites are the most pro-cuomo group in the electorate)

Since everyone is talking about new voters, I pulled up the Virginia voter file to check how many 2025 general election voters were non-2024 voters. Per L2, that number is 200k, or about 6% of all ballots cast in the race. These 200k were modeled at 60% Dem and 20% Rep

pretty sure this income relationship is confounded with race

"All the MAGAs I follow are ___"

Ok, and that wouldn't matter if journalists stopped writing content on the site β€” and in doing so, exposing themselves to all the posts from the fringe right of U.S. politics that have been algorithmically tuned to pickle their brains. It's a giant red filter bubble

I don't have a problem with Tim. But I do think it is deleterious that so many smart people spend so much time on X, which has essentially become an algorithmically and AI-optimized far-right MAGA message testing and propaganda machine. People assume X posts represent the masses, but they don't!

So one Republican senator from Montana tonight suddenly announced he would not run for re-election this year, and the other Republican senator from Montana broke a guy's hand?

Talarico is running an anti-system campaign that could be very appealing to indiesΒ & Trump voters (who you need to win in a Trump +14 state). By highlighting positions that are not correlated with left-right ideology, he can attract right-leaning voters. Smart www.gelliottmorris.com/p/meet-ameri...

the conventional wisdom a year ago was that trump was untouchable on immigration and indomitable with independents and democrats shouldn't even talk about the issue

One of the JD Vance lines that worked best with young men in 2024 was that America shouldn't be funding foreign wars when people at home are suffering. I imagine this price tag isn't going to sit well with them

i do not think we have enough publicly accessible data to answer this question. maybe a private campaign was doing some sort of active listening project and can say, but certainly for the public data folks the answer has to be "idk"

That was for ABC polling. David is talking about YouGov, which is honestly a better comparison since in 2018 ABC was using noisy RDD polls and YouGov’s methodology is more apples to apples
