Guest Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 One thing that I use sometimes when trying to gauge the polling data for a region when there's a long break between polls (or no polls at all) is this: Let's say in Fictional State, Bush got 40%, Clinton 30%, Perot 30%. Those were the results on election day and the region was never polled. If the national polling on election day was 40% Bush 40% Clinton 20% Perot, but when the scenario starts in September, the national polling was 35% Bush 35% Clinton and 30% Perot, I adjust the state results by the change. Between September and November, hypothetical Perot lost 10 points while Bush and Clinton gained 5. So the fictional state would overstate Perot's performance by 10 points, Bush and Clinton's percentages would both be 5 lower. Therefore Bush 35, Clinton 25, Perot 40. Sorry if I explained that poorly. If you need clarification feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
