Trump’s only got himself to blame for doing so badly amongst women – politicalbetting.com
Pelosi slams Trump for telling suburban women voters he is "getting your husbands back to work" "What decade is he living in? What century is he living in? So completely removed from the realties of life. And that has caused death." https://t.co/sdQVp1gT3q pic.twitter.com/vAENjcsqHt

Strangely Trump came up independently of the family revelation (that was at the funeral meats). My uncle was a Liberal Unionist who loathed Brexit and Trump, and his son, my cousin, in his tribute brought up Trump as the polar opposite of of the person that was my uncle. Weird how politics crops up.
The Isle Lewis has it's own sort of rascals who are not really brashly Trumpian, more Odysseus the Trickster types. This is a good example, an interesting story even if you're not a Lewisman I think."

Trump has never been popular with most women, even Hillary won the female vote by 13% in 2016 which was actually more than the 11% Obama beat Romney with with women in 2012, however he still managed to win the EC as he won the male vote by 11%0

Evening all
A pulverising of polls this evening as might be expected moving into the final five days of the 2020 American Presidential, Senate, Congressional and Dog-Catcher election campaigns.
Starting with the national polls and Rasmussen charitably gives Biden a sniff tonight with a 48-47 lead. Elsewhere, IBD/TIPP is unchanged at 50-45 while USA Today has a Suffolk poll which has Biden 7.5% ahead (51.8-44.3)
https://www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suffolk/documents/academics/research-at-suffolk/suprc/polls/national/2020/10_29_2020_marginals_pdftxt.pdf?la=en&hash=7BE590FE9C03C3188A29E97C1108D5CB75C703620 -
Plenty of fascinating State polling out there as well this evening:
Three Florida polls including one from Monmouth have Biden ahead by 3-6 points.
https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_FL_102920/
On that basis, I'm moving Florida into the Blue column on my map.
A Quinnipiac poll has Trump ahead 47-46 in Iowa - I'm keeping that state TCTC but very much in the lean Trump column.
A couple of Minnesota polls might concern the Biden campaign especially the Survey USA poll showing Biden up by just five 47-42:
https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20400328/surveyusa1028.pdf
Clinton won Minnesota by just 1.5 points last time and Trump fans have always seen this as one of the potential "flips". A 5-point lead represents a small 1.75% swing from 2016 which would be enough across the board but not by much.
Quinnipiac has Biden up seven in Pennsylvania while North Carolina remains TCTC with one poll showing a 48-48 tie and a Siena poll has a 3-point lead for Biden. (48-45).
In Georgia, a Public Policy Polling poll (!) has Biden ahead by two but PPP has a lean towards the Democrats so nothing to move the state out of the TCTC column.
In Texas, a UMass/Lowell poll has Trump ahead 47-46
https://www.uml.edu/docs/2020-Texas-Oct-Topline_tcm18-331627.pdf
There's been a lot of polling in Texas and plenty of argument on here that Biden winning represents a value bet. That may well be but in terms of winning the State, I'm still not convinced. The changes on the last equivalent UMass/Lowell poll are Trump -1 and Biden +2. I'm keeping Texas in the Red column but if we see a couple more decent polls for Biden it'll go in the TCTC column.
In Ohio, a Quinnipiac poll has Biden up five (48-43) and I'm happy to keep the state in the TCTC column thought now leaning to Biden.
https://poll.qu.edu/florida/release-detail?ReleaseID=3682
Four other states which are not marginals have polls out - in New Hampshire, Biden leads by ten which is a 5% swing from 2016. In Virginia, Biden leads by twelve so a 3.5% swing from 2016. As for New Jersey, a 24 point Biden lead represents a 5% swing from 2016. On the Red front, a rare poll from Alabama has a 19-point Trump lead represents a 4.5% swing to Biden from 2016.
Four non-marginal states and a consistent 3.5-5% swing to Biden suggesting a national poll lead of 9-12 points though with the swing less in the marginal states perhaps nearer a 6-8 point lead.
My map has 314-163 for Biden with 61 TCTC.1 -

***** BETTING POST *****
Ohio simply has to be the ultimate bellwether state, evidenced by the fact that in the 31 General Elections since 1896, it has only twice (in 1944 and 1960) failed to vote for the winning candidate, meaning that it has backed the winner unerringly over the past 56 years! Furthermore, no Republican has ever won the Presidency without winning Ohio. Against such a background, it is interesting to note that despite the betting markets having Trump as the clear favourite to win this state with Betfair Exchange at current net odds of 1.40, Biden, shown in the most recent polls as having a clear lead, has to be the value bet at 3.09 not only to land the state but to continue its startling record of correctly backing the winner over a consecutive period of 60 years.
Show me a better U.S. Election bet offering odds of better than 2/1!

Strangely Trump came up independently of the family revelation (that was at the funeral meats).

It's called an island because (like Isle of Ely) it was bit of higher, dryer land in the middle of a swamp (or marsh if you prefer). Reason for Avery Island's existence is that it is the top of a salt dome.0 -

The Siena Poll for the NYT had Trump 47-43 so quite a bit of Undecided while the Umass/Lovell poll has 48-47 which in turn is a small move to Biden from the last month.Mal557 said:
I think if I'm correct this is RMG , Scott Rasmussens new polling company which im pretty sure is rated B? and not R biased by 538 as Rasmussen polling (where Scott was before0 is,, though HYUFD may be able to confirm this? So it may well be this poll is a bit more balanced than the 'other' Rasmussen in regards leaning R
I'd still favour Trump to win by 2-4 points but it is tightening and IF this is a blowout Biden win nationally (double digits lead), it's hard not to think Texas would be gained by the Democrats in both the Presidential and Senate elections.0 -

***** BETTING POST *****
Ohio simply has to be the ultimate bellwether state, evidenced by the fact that in the 31 General Elections since 1896, it has only twice (in 1944 and 1960) failed to vote for the winning candidate, meaning that it has backed the winner unerringly over the past 56 years! Furthermore, no Republican has ever won the Presidency without winning Ohio. Against such a background, it is interesting to note that despite the betting markets having Trump as the clear favourite to win this state with Betfair Exchange at current net odds of 1.40, Biden, shown in the most recent polls as having a clear lead, has to be the value bet at 3.09 not only to land the state but to continue its startling record of correctly backing the winner over a consecutive period of 60 years.

No sir, there is not, or at least not an island you can point to or stand on and say "this is the original Rhode Island". Aquidneck Island, the island where Newport is located, was certainly called that after settlement began, but it is by no means certain that it is the original island with that epithet. It's not even certain who coined the name, let alone which island was meant. It was either Verrazzano in 1524 who saw an island he felt looked like Rhodes in the Mediterranean, or Block in 1614 who passed a "reddish island" (Dutch Rood eiland) but any Rhode Island native like my wife will tell you that it's only likely to have been Aquidneck. It could have been Block Island, or even (whisper it) Long Island itself.SeaShantyIrish2 said:

I am truly astonished that pollsters are producing state polls that don't ask if you have already voted. It makes interpreting the numbers little more than guess work.
I was expecting the polls to get provably more and more accurate but without knowing who in the sample has voted early it makes it more and more confusing.1 -
