FAQ
How does it work?
The model calculates how likely a state is to vote for a candidate based on several factors:
- The average base odds for a state, calculated using five different forecast models (Cook, Sabato, RCP, FiveThirtyEight, and JHK Forecasts) as well as Polymarket's betting odds.
- Most recent 10 polls from at least a "B-rated" pollster, including approval rating polls of the current president, favorability polls of the incumbent president, Democratic nominee, and Republican nominee, and state-by-state match-up polls.
- Historic Senate and Presidential results going back to 1992, as well as factoring in emerging trends and historic partisan shifts.
- Presidential Primary turnout.
These are then ran through 10,000 simulations using the "Monte Carlo" method.
Is it accurate?
I have no idea lol
