Confirmed: Senator Mike Lee is a wanker

[chrisrenrut]

So Mike Lee has a personal Twitter account now, and isn't afraid to get in there and mix it up. He even threatened to sue his opponent, Mr. McMullin for slander. At least, the local media is convinced this is a real account, and not an imposter.

Internal R poll so maybe take it with a grain of salt, but my hunch is the race isn't competitive right now. Well see how it changes and if Dems continue with their recent momentum.

Where are the other 18% of voters?

I saw a poll yesterday that showed McMullin with a 1% lead in the polls. I think your poll is probably more accurate.

I think yesterday's poll was McMullin"s internal poll. I guess we shouldn't trust internal polls at all, but the real numbers probably lie somewhere in between. It seems to me that Lee has been keeping a bit of a lower profile recently as well.

McMullin now within the margin of error of committed voters. There are still another 12% of voters undecided:

A new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll found 41% of Utahns would vote for Lee and 37% would vote for McMullin if the election were held today. Independent American candidate Tommy Williams picked up 2% and Libertarian James Arthur Hansen got 1%. Another 12% don't know who they would vote for, while 5% would mark the ballot for someone else.

Dan Jones & Associates conducted the poll of 801 registered Utah voters for the Deseret News and the Hinckley Institute from Oct. 3-6. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.46 percentage points.

If you look at likely voters, Lee is ahead by 5% or so and that hasn't changed in a while. I don't think McMullin has a chance. Sadly.

The last two general elections should have taught us not to trust polls.

True, but I am trying to manage my expectations.

Not because the statisticians are trying to be wrong, but there is a plausible explanation that Trump voters and conservatives are more likely to lie or refuse to participate so they get undercounted. However, this appears to be more the case in presidential elections where Trump is on the ballot. In 2018 the polls called it pretty accurately.

Mike Lee will end up with close to 60% of the vote. It isn't going to be close.

Not if Luke Skywalker has anything to say about it.

I’m waiting to decide until I hear what Han Solo has to say about the race!

I offered to bet you a Bobo pizza at Via313 that this wouldn’t happen but you refused my bet.

I think Mike Lee wins with less than 50% of the vote.
