Givetvis, vi kan bara gra mer eller mindre goda prognoser. En annan faktor i r r corona dr rstbeteendet lr skilja mer eller mindre.
Definitivt. Jag sger inte att det r totalt vrdelst att titta p rsterna nu men som Harry Enten skriver:
"When you look at early ballots, you're missing a lot of context. Mainly, you have no idea who is going to turn out on Election Day. Looking at the early vote to understand who will win in 2020 is kind of like looking at the score of a sports event halfway through without knowing what sport was being played. A 4-point lead halfway through a basketball game is far different than a 4-run lead halfway through a baseball game. In the former, neither side has a substantial edge. In the latter, the team up by 4 is heavily favored.
None of this is to say early voting statistics are useless. They're telling us that the polls seem to be on the right track. There are a lot more people voting early than ever before, and these folks tend to be Democrats. Moreover, they heavily suggest that Trump's rhetoric decrying mail voting seems to have kept Republicans from voting by mail.
Just be careful in trying to figure out who is going to win from early voting statistics. Biden is likely to win, but the reason to think that is the polls"
