All right, that's it! If you want even more detail on the methodology, you can find it here. Also taping a podcast on this shortly, which we'll have out soon. https://t.co/FxbzezloWI — PolitiTweet.org

Our polling averages do *not* correct for that kind of thing. They're entirely based on the polls, albeit using the polls in some "fancy" ways. Our forecast model, conversely (not released yet) will blend the polls with other priors/methods to smooth things out a bit. — PolitiTweet.org

@kwcollins We use a prior based on the historical RV vs LV gap. Generally LV polls help Republicans but hurt incumbents, so a bit of a mixed bag for Trump this year. Then the prior is adjusted as we collect polls that provide both RV and LV results. — PolitiTweet.org
