Executive Summary:
- Former President Donald Trump’s polling has strengthened to the extent that many pundits now consider him the slight favourite in a toss-up race. Outside of the polls, the public discourse has undergone a major ‘vibe shift’ that suggests momentum for Trump that may belie the close race.
- The New York Times-Siena College released their final national survey before Election Day, showing a dead heat 48-48 race for the popular vote. Data from the Times survey shows that Trump has a clear lead on two of the three the issues most likely to determine the election.
- Early voting data appears to show worrying signs for Harris.
- Trump has all but closed the gap to Harris in the national polling average, which was as high at four percentage points according to some trackers in mid-September. The NYT tracker now shows Harris with a one-percentage-point advantage.
- With the exception of Split-Ticket, all the presidential election forecast models we cover in this newsletter now lean towards Trump.
- Big money continues to back Trump on prediction markets as more evidence emerges that a small group of 'whales' are moving the markets.
