teradact 0 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 IDK what is going on but, it seems Clinton has an extremely annoying superpower to jump up in polls with like +20 momentum right before important primaries. What is this? I've had this issue before so I played on easy with fog of war off and it still happened. Examples: (I was up in all of these states one week ago) Florida: Clinton (+19.4) Ohio: Clinton (+26.3) Illinois (+15.3) North Carolina (+32.8) Previously it happened in Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, and Minnesota. Edit: Now it's happening in almost every state. I just don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 That's probably because of Undecided voters, all of which are forced to decide on voting day. Normally they're going to go for the more moderate Clinton over the left-wing Sanders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jvikings1 40 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 She might be running lots of ads at that time. Also, she could have some surrogates campaigning and be getting new endorsements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Her totals went up 8.7 and 10.2 respectively. I agree though it's probably the undecideds that are the cause. Any advice to help defend against this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What I normally do is make a lot of newspaper ads starting 3 weeks before, probably 4 a week aimed at the state. Mix negative ones with positive ones. I agree Sanders is ridiculously underpowered in the default 2016 scenario. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FloridaDemocrat 0 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Usually the undecideds also decide on momentum, before a primary or caucus, I generally ad bomb and barnstorm for and against myself and an opposing candidate, respectively, and that gets me the W or tie.
