    If that happens then it surely is Goodnight Rubio Tuesday.

    The thresholds are

    15% Michigan - polls on 12-14%
    15% Mississippi - poll on 16% (got just 11.2% in neighbouring Louisiana - less than polls)
    20% Idaho - poll on 16%

    Another Labour car crash.


    'An aide to Labour mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan resigned today after the Evening Standard found pictures of him brandishing a gun and claiming he could be a hired “hitman”.

    Shueb Salar posted a video online of himself with a rifle and bragged about spending a weekend “shooting stuff with real guns, knives, crossbows and bow and arrows”.

    He added the joke comments #I’mASecretHitman and #ShoutMeIfYouWantMeToTakeCareOfSomeone and #I’llMakeItLookLikeAnAccident.

    Mr Salar also added emoticons showing a knife, a pistol and a thumb’s up.'

    I've take 1.25 on Rubio to be first. No way Cruz goes first (racing certainty), which leaves it a shot to nothing that Rubio doesn't make it

    I couldn't see another way to monetise this except back Trump in Florida on pretty short odds.

    There's in play and there's in play, odds on 11 would come in to maybe 6.

    It's already advantage Trump though.

    Have we not done that already? Twice?

    What is Rubio doing still being in this ? Kasich is presumably thinking VP but Trump and Cruz would both have a toss up between Rubio and Sanders for that role. As well as being an astonishingly incompetent candidate he now looks like a really bad loser as well.

    Much though I would like Rubio to pull out, given that I've got a big red on him both for RepNom and Prez, I can't imagine that he will do so before FL a week tomorrow. If he loses FL, I expect that's the end. If he somehow manages to win it, he'll stagger on.

    On topic this is a really dull market. Everyone thinks Remain will win and yet the odds on a black swan are modest and disappointing. What sort of odds would be worth a punt on Leave? Surely at least 6/1, probably more.

    You would be betting on a migrant melt down/ Euro collapse before June. By the people who have made kick the can a continental sport. Just not going to happen. And Cameron? He plays hard ball.

    The US is much more interesting.

    So Rubio still trails Trump by almost double digits in his home state, head to head is of course irrelevant as there will be four candidates running, what is clear is Trump has taken a minor dent from the debate but nothing to topple his lead and next Tuesday Rubio will most likely suspend his campaign

    So far the Saturday results confirmed my verdict of the Fox debate, and the post debate polls reflect that too.

    It could be a methodology problem with Monmouth polls that show Trump's lead collapsing in both Michigan and Florida, but those and ARG are the only post debate polls published so far.

    We will see tomorrow, the Saturday results indicate a real problem for Trump, the Tuesday results will give us the full extent of the damage.

    I begin to think Sadiq Khan is seriously nasty. Not just accident prone or credulous, but actively and dangerously close to Islamism. The evidence is now overwhelming.

    This piece of work CANNOT be Mayor of London.

    More importantly, how deep does this gangrene go within Labour? If they can let an Islamist fellow traveller like Khan become their mayoral candidate, FOR LONDON, what other sections of the party are quietly rotting away?
    Not to mention ethnic quotas

    Incredible that he is likely to be our Mayor

    We will see, tomorrow night will prove who is right.
    But with Trump always underperforming his poll numbers by 5% on average, these polls really turn the heat on Trump.

    By the way I think that my commentary on the debates so far are more valuable that what the consensus verdicts are.
    If someone followed my advice on Friday morning, based on my debate verdict, and placed a bet on Cruz and shorted Trump he would have made money with the Saturday results.

    Probably not, but it would see him remain in the race, and probably shift betting sentiment.

    Given the twists we've already seen in this campaign, who knows? Ted Cruz was 70.0 for RepNom less than 10 days ago.

    Indeed usually Trump is way ahead with early voters and Rubio is getting the late deciders, in that poll it's the reverse.

    It could be a methodology problem, that's why we have to wait for tomorrow's results to see if Monmouth is accurate.

    Another Labour car crash.


    'An aide to Labour mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan resigned today after the Evening Standard found pictures of him brandishing a gun and claiming he could be a hired “hitman”.

    Shueb Salar posted a video online of himself with a rifle and bragged about spending a weekend “shooting stuff with real guns, knives, crossbows and bow and arrows”.

    He added the joke comments #I’mASecretHitman and #ShoutMeIfYouWantMeToTakeCareOfSomeone and #I’llMakeItLookLikeAnAccident.

    Mr Salar also added emoticons showing a knife, a pistol and a thumb’s up.'

    I begin to think Sadiq Khan is seriously nasty. Not just accident prone or credulous, but actively and dangerously close to Islamism. The evidence is now overwhelming.

    This piece of work CANNOT be Mayor of London.

    More importantly, how deep does this gangrene go within Labour? If they can let an Islamist fellow traveller like Khan become their mayoral candidate, FOR LONDON, what other sections of the party are quietly rotting away?
    Not to mention ethnic quotas

    Incredible that he is likely to be our Mayor
    The endless parade of damaging, Muslimy stories must be eroding his support. I can't see him picking up many WWC or Jewish/Sikh/Hindu votes.

    He will get the Guardianista left, the lower middle class Labour loyalists, and his fellow Muslims. Is that enough? Hmm.

    if the Conservatives could mobilise the East European vote, Khan would be crushed like the bug he is. Zac coming out for Leave doesn't help with that.

    Florida poll: Rubio trails Trump by 8 points, almost ties in head-to-head & is soundly winning early ballots cast http://politi.co/1OXKqut
    So Rubio still trails Trump by almost double digits in his home state, head to head is of course irrelevant as there will be four candidates running, what is clear is Trump has taken a minor dent from the debate but nothing to topple his lead and next Tuesday Rubio will most likely suspend his campaign
    We will see, tomorrow night will prove who is right.
    But with Trump always underperforming his poll numbers by 5% on average, these polls really turn the heat on Trump.
    Always? The final poll in NH had it Trump 33% Kasich 17%, Trump won 35% to 15.8%. The final poll in S Carolina had it Trump 26% Rubio 24%, Trump won 35% to Rubio's 22%. The final poll in Nevada had it Trump 39% Cruz 23%, Trump won with 45%. The final poll in Kentucky had Trump on 35%, he got 35%.

    In northern Florida that poll has Trump 36 and Rubio 32. Northern Florida votes like Georgia in the east and Alabama in the west. Lousy poll.

    Good Idaho poll, remember a primary not a caucus so the evangelicals and mormons won't be bussed in like in KS. Still a strong second more likely, which is good enough. Oh for a more recent poll.

    On topic this is a really dull market. Everyone thinks Remain will win and yet the odds on a black swan are modest and disappointing. What sort of odds would be worth a punt on Leave? Surely at least 6/1, probably more.

    You would be betting on a migrant melt down/ Euro collapse before June. By the people who have made kick the can a continental sport. Just not going to happen. And Cameron? He plays hard ball.

    The US is much more interesting.

    I imagine the indyref market was quite dull, in a similar way, about 4 months out? Then the campaign "livened up".

    The Indyref was traumatic from day 1 to the end. In comparison the Euroref is like choosing between a merlot and a rioja. On any given day you have a preference but you know, life goes on.

    So far the Saturday results confirmed my verdict of the Fox debate, and the post debate polls reflect that too.

    It could be a methodology problem with Monmouth polls that show Trump's lead collapsing in both Michigan and Florida, but those and ARG are the only post debate polls published so far.

    We will see tomorrow, the Saturday results indicate a real problem for Trump, the Tuesday results will give us the full extent of the damage.

    The Michigan & Florida Monmouth polls were both partly conducted pre-debate.

    The Fox2Detroit Michigan poll on the other hand has fieldwork that was entirely post debate on 6th and gives Trump a 22% lead.

    So far one of Khan's colleagues has been shown to be a clown. If you look closely at Cameron's Bullingdon photo you'll see that's not uncommon among politicians mates and that's before you even get to Andy Coulson ....... yet he became and remained PM.

    Time to smell the Yaks milk and go visit some phalluses.

    Another finding from Ohio- if GOP voters had to pick between Trump and Romney, they'd take Trump 52/36

    Kasich should be around 31% then, if Rubio has 5%.

    This is more important, new Florida poll, it's post debate:

    Monmouth

    Trump 38
    Rubio 30
    Cruz 17
    Kasich 10

    Trump blows another 20 point pre-debate lead.

    Marc CaputoVerified account ‏@MarcACaputo 4m4 minutes ago
    Florida poll: Rubio trails Trump by 8 points, almost ties in head-to-head & is soundly winning early ballots cast http://politi.co/1OXKqut
    So Rubio still trails Trump by almost double digits in his home state, head to head is of course irrelevant as there will be four candidates running, what is clear is Trump has taken a minor dent from the debate but nothing to topple his lead and next Tuesday Rubio will most likely suspend his campaign
    We will see, tomorrow night will prove who is right.
    But with Trump always underperforming his poll numbers by 5% on average, these polls really turn the heat on Trump.
    Always? The final poll in NH had it Trump 33% Kasich 17%, Trump won 35% to 15.8%. The final poll in S Carolina had it Trump 26% Rubio 24%, Trump won 35% to Rubio's 22%. The final poll in Nevada had it Trump 39% Cruz 23%, Trump won with 45%. The final poll in Kentucky had Trump on 35%, he got 35%.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statewide_opinion_polling_for_the_Republican_Party_presidential_primaries,_2016
    Look at the polling average.
    N.H. is the only state that Trump beat the polls.
    Nevada too but Rubio should be winning his home state comfortably, the fact Trump is even in contention to win it shows how deep is the trouble Rubio is in and it is not a life or death state for Trump which it is for Rubio, if he loses it he is out
    Florida is as much Trump's home state, same for Nevada.
    Trump's home state is New York, the fact he has hotels in Miami and Las Vegas does not make them his home states!

    That's 8 points bellow Rubio's polling average, if it has all gone to Kasich then he is in the lead.

    Who have very little in common. Particularly when you think Romney spoke out against Trump but not Cruz.

    Hopefully we'll get the crossbreaks later.

    Incidentally if you split the 52% even slightly unevenly, Kasich no longer leads.

    Another Labour car crash.


    'An aide to Labour mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan resigned today after the Evening Standard found pictures of him brandishing a gun and claiming he could be a hired “hitman”.

    Shueb Salar posted a video online of himself with a rifle and bragged about spending a weekend “shooting stuff with real guns, knives, crossbows and bow and arrows”.

    He added the joke comments #I’mASecretHitman and #ShoutMeIfYouWantMeToTakeCareOfSomeone and #I’llMakeItLookLikeAnAccident.

    Mr Salar also added emoticons showing a knife, a pistol and a thumb’s up.'

    I begin to think Sadiq Khan is seriously nasty. Not just accident prone or credulous, but actively and dangerously close to Islamism. The evidence is now overwhelming.

    This piece of work CANNOT be Mayor of London.

    More importantly, how deep does this gangrene go within Labour? If they can let an Islamist fellow traveller like Khan become their mayoral candidate, FOR LONDON, what other sections of the party are quietly rotting away?
    Not to mention ethnic quotas

    Incredible that he is likely to be our Mayor
    The endless parade of damaging, Muslimy stories must be eroding his support. I can't see him picking up many WWC or Jewish/Sikh/Hindu votes.

    He will get the Guardianista left, the lower middle class Labour loyalists, and his fellow Muslims. Is that enough? Hmm.

    London voted Labour last year by 44% to the Tories 35% at a time when the country voted Tory 37% to 35%. London, certainly inner London, is virtually the only place in the country Jeremy Corbyn has increased Labour's popularity. I would still make Khan the favourite, Boris only won because of a huge victory margin in the suburbs and I just don't see Zac having the same appeal to white van man!
    Hasn't a large portion of Labour's inner London vote recently disappeared?
    The latest London yougov poll has Labour leading the Tories 44% to 37%

    Right now none, as I said multiple times I bailed out a week before Iowa, you can even check my comments from back then when I told everyone.

    I came on the Trump train in May and last I bet on him just after the new year.
    Also a bit on Carson way back when he first announced, but I regretted it a bit after he collapsed in late November, Trump doing a Columbo impersonation to dissect Carson was unexpected.

    So I'm fine and stress free to observe the car crash from a safe distance.

    A Khan win helps shore up Corbyn even if the locals are bad. And if Khan is less than stellar, he's another target for the Conservatives to attack.

    May well be the case, a lot of Tories would rather see Zac lose than Corbyn be toppled, including perhaps the PM himself (especially given they are not exactly eye to eye on everything at the moment). By contrast many Labour backbenchers will be rooting for Zac!

    That may be correct. But first why are the polling companies weighting Young voters vs 65+ in a way that is disproportionate with how they voted at the GE?
