…from Election Graphs..…
A few days ago I looked at where all the states ended up if you just look at the average results of the last few elections. No 2020 specific data.
But there have already been state level 2020 polls. Sixteen by my count. They are now all included on Election Graphs.
When I do updates here, unless there is a strong reason to do otherwise, I’m going to only discuss the five “best polled” candidate pairs. At the moment, the only Republican polled so far has been Trump. (Sorry Weld fans.) The five best polled Democrats against him right now are Biden, Warren, O’Rourke, Sanders, and Harris… in that order.
So with that out of the way, let’s start looking at some graphs!
The chart above shows the “expected” electoral college result for each of these five candidate pairs, assuming each candidate wins all the states they lead in the Election Graphs five poll averages. This average still includes previous election results since there are no states where there are actually five polls yet.
So what do we see? From the very limited polling we have so far, we see Biden doing noticeably better than any of the other four Democrats when pitted against Trump. In the electoral college, Biden leads Trump by a 42 electoral vote margin. Sanders leads Trump by 6 electoral votes. And then Warren, O’Rourke, and Harris all lose to Trump by 6 electoral votes…..
