Model That's Correctly Predicted Popular Vote 16 Times Shows Trump Losing in Landslide

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/05/20/model-thats-correctly-predicted-popular-vote-16-times-shows-trump-losing-in-landslide.html

Using economic factors such as unemployment and inflation, Oxford Economics predicts former Vice President Joe Biden will sweep the popular vote with 65%.

Trump would win just 35% of the vote under this modeling. This would be a historic and humiliating defeat for an incumbent on par with William H. Taft’s loss in 1912.

Neither party has won less than 40% in a two horse race since 1972, so the model should be taken with caution. However, before the pandemic Oxford Economics had Trump winning comfortably with 55% support.

The model predicts Biden winning Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and North Carolina. These are all states that voted for Trump in 2016, some by wafer thin margins.

If the Oxford forecast is correct, Biden would win 328 electoral college votes, while Trump would garner just 210. Under those circumstances, the Democratic victory would be historic and substantial.

It is worth noting this is based on the popular vote as Oxford Economics does not specifically model electoral college votes.

Oxford Economics’ model was incorrect only twice: in 1968 when Richard Nixon staged the political comeback of the century, and in 1976 when Jimmy Carter surprised many by defeating incumbent Gerald Ford.

How'd it do last time?

16. If that isn't a showing of how insane the EC is nothing is

With barely a third of the vote Trump would still win 242 electoral votes. That is nuts. That Nixon race he won 49 states.

 :yawn:

Even with the COVID-19 Dempanic, the economy is about where it was under Barry Soetoro his first term and he got reelected.

OTOH, President Trump has shown that he can bring an economy back from Obummer doldrums.

They should have led with that so we would know to ignore the rest.

Yeah. Right.

Biden doesn’t even know what planet he’s on but he’s killing it in the polls.

It is called 'Inevitability Porn." It feeds a Lefty fantasy that they can never lose. while good money can be made feeding Lefty appetites, you need to leave before they think to ask for their money back.

Sigh. These are just forecast models.
