But if we're mostly done with "late earlies" (ballots sent by mail that arrived just before the election—those were good for Trump) and moving on to other miscellaneous stuff, there's no particular reason to expect Trump to keep clawing back ground. — PolitiTweet.org

Arizona's transparency on exactly which type of ballots are in each release of data is fairly poor, which is why I suppose that one might want to hedge a bit. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump needed to win these big but Biden won them. Unless I'm missing something (always possible) this is very negative for Trump's chances of winning AZ. — PolitiTweet.org

That Democrats will have at best a 50-50 Senate majority and more likely a 48-52 minority will constrain Biden's policy ambitions, which is obviously awful news for Democrats overall but also means any policies Biden is able to pass thru Congress will likely be broadly popular. — PolitiTweet.org

There are some reasons to think Biden could be reasonably popular. His personal favorable ratings are decent. Next year may be a year of improvement for the economy and the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

It's also not as though COVID was something that necessarily doomed Trump. Off-hand, lots of incumbents around the world—in countries that handled it even marginally better than the US—seemed to see their popularity rise. (We're working on more rigorous analysis on this topic.) — PolitiTweet.org

Per our reckoning, Trump *underperformed* the fundamentals by 4-5 points based on some combination of his COVID handling and ... everything else. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah, our economics + incumbency prior had the race as a tossup. Growth was solid for Trump's first 3 years, the 3Q recovery has been impressive, and CARES put a lot of money in people's pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

In terms of where the popular vote will end up... keep in mind that there are 1.2 million mail ballots in New York State that haven't been counted yet and based on what's happening in PA (which, like New York, had little mail voting before) those are likely to be VERY Democratic. — PolitiTweet.org

In heavily Hispanic Starr County, TX in the Rio Grande Valley—which may have the biggest swing toward Trump of any county in the country—turnout was up massively, from 11,700 four years ago to 17,500 this year. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the questions I'm more intrigued by is whether polls missed Trump support among lower-propensity Hispanic (and perhaps also Black) voters. These voters can be hard to get on the phone and/or may be screened out by likely voter models. — PolitiTweet.org

A year ago, any Democrat would have been happy with this map, taking back the Blue Wall + (almost certainly) GA + (probably) AZ + what should be a ~5-point popular vote win on super high turnout. https://t.co/PhgGl2DaHd — PolitiTweet.org

@DanRosenheck Ohio's not going to be a 6-point error. Lots of D vote left to count there. Upscale Midwestern metros like Kansas City that counted quickly looked pretty good for Biden all night. And keep in mind that with AZ/GA, Biden's path was robust to some Midwest losses. — PolitiTweet.org
