Executive summary:
- The primary theme of the week is the same as last week: Polling and data-driven models project a too-close-to-call race, but there is some big money betting on a Trump win.
- YouGov's second multilevel regression with poststratification model gives Harris a slight edge over Trump.
- Pollsters believe that they have identified the problems that caused polling errors in 2016 and 2020, but there is a lingering concern that Trump's name on the ballot may make polling particularly difficult.
- The Washington Post is the latest outlet to examine the possibility that Trump's Electoral College advantage may be disappearing.
- The data-driven elections models have moved closer to a dead heat.
- The surge towards Trump on prediction markets continued this week. Polymarket, in particular, has seen a major influx of cash pushing Trump’s implied probability of winning above 60%.
