Be one of our first 1,000 subscribers: https://www.youtube.com/@politicsandreligion   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics   It's so cool to be joined again by Carl Allen to delve into the intricacies of election predictions and polling analysis. In this conversation, we cover the inefficiencies in polling methodologies used by entities like Trafalgar and Atlas Intel to the impact of undecided and third-party voters on electoral outcomes. Important states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina are analyzed, highlighting early voting trends and their potential implications for candidates like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The role of prediction markets and Democratic strategies in key Senate races and swing states are also scrutinized, offering insights into the dynamics of voter behavior and the critical factors shaping the 2024 general election. Throughout, the significance of accurate, transparent data in informing the public and predicting election results is emphasized. And of course we had to squeeze in a bit of poker talk!   01:13 Discussing Election Predictions 05:24 Diving into Poll Data 06:25 Pennsylvania Poll Analysis 10:40 Understanding Polling Discrepancies 31:17 Forecasting Pennsylvania's Outcome 38:47 Significance of Third Parties in Elections 40:22 Swing States Analysis: North Carolina 41:38 Registered vs. Likely Voter Polls 45:11 Undecided Voters and Polling Errors 49:31 Late Breakers and Election Predictions 01:03:04 Senate Races and Calculated Risks   substack.com/@realcarlallen   https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1032483024    https://x.com/RealCarlAllen    We're on Patreon!
