I’m sure this is interesting data, but the GIF with fading transitions moving that quickly is rather useless.
It should be noted that this is the RCP projection, and the 538 projection and Nate Silver’s independent projection have both stayed around 50/50
Showing time in animated form is lazy and unclear. That’s just a bad graph.
A simple two time state, before and after, would suffice to get the point across.
Awful graph, awful gif, awful post
We can’t trust the polls cause Trump has a lot of people who will vote for him that are too afraid to admit it, just like when he went against Hillary
Beautiful my ass, it’s impossible to tell when it starts and when it finishes and look at the difference in distributions at the same time
it is insane how close it is it is beyond comprehension that you would think Trump should be president. I wouldn’t trust him running a Burger King.
this means Less-Than-Nothing
I remember CNN using polls and saying Clinton was going to win a landslide…
I kinda get what this chart is saying but I’m not sure about two parts: the purple line and what is the median in this case – or why is the median needed?
This is neat, but the data you’re using probably inflates Harris’s odds a little. During this period I think both 538 and Silver have had her around 60%. Should nothing change, regression will increase her chances as we get closer to Election Day, though.
“Statewide polls” – Which state? This seems like important information to just leave out.
I remember when polls showed a 99% victory for Hillary
This is gonna be the longest five weeks ever.
text almost unreadable and impossible to put into context
That doesn’t really fit with RCP’s website, which, right at this moment, gives Trump 281 EVs. So… uh, how did you find your way to the reverse in Harris’ favour as a median? What was your methodology, and how does it differ from RCP’s to arrive at opposite “conclusions”?
Hillary was ahead at this point too.
The only poll that matters is on election day.
Let’s revisit this around Nov 12th or so?
This is one of the more beautiful depictions of data I have seen on this sub in 2 years of lurking. Fantastic job, OP!
This is one of the coolest graph setups I’ve seen on here in a while. Nice work!
Not beautiful and predictions mean nothing
Donald Trump has historically out performed the polls. So what I’m curious about is do these predictions have those same old projections techniques used? Or did they correct their data collection techniques to be more accurate?
It would be beautiful if the red had zero chance. How do people support a rapist that tried to overthrow the America.
I either don’t understand how national polling works, or I don’t understand why pollsters don’t weigh state polls by EC votes when reporting national polls. Per the New York Times, the gap between VP Harris and Pres. Trump is, on average, 3% in Harris’ favor. But I don’t get what that means in terms of answering the question “if the election were to happen today who would you vote for”.
This is a *faaaaar* better representation of the trends.
I understand everyone’s gripes that the data is too fast, but I like it this way. I don’t necessarily want to see individual numbers, I want to see what the trend qualitatively is.
I don’t get to vote in this election.
Does this account for ratf*cking?
Do it with an aggregate of polls.
Cause currently every battleground state is trending 1-2% Trump. Which is a very different result than this gif
I’m sure the comments will be very civil and open-minded
If you compare the first and last frame you will see that there is the slightest of shifts towards Harris, easily within the margin of error. Maybe you want to plot the average over time in a static chart instead to highlight trends.
These polls do not mean anything trump lost in 2016 and yet was still crowned president by the “electoral college”.
