minus-squareneatchee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoYou’re saying that the numbers displayed are indicating the % of polls that favor each candidate in that state, not the probability the candidate will win each state overall?
minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoSo the text of the tweet says % chance of winning, but the figure seems to show the poll numbers. A poll number isn’t the same as the probability of winning at a given poll number. They are related but not the same. It just looks like maybe the full tweet wasn’t screenshotted? I subscribed to his substack but I’m on mobile and lazy and don’t want to go grab the numbers.
