Harry Entin: Five reasons Conor Lamb can win

https://twitter.com/forecasterenten/status/969242495996563456?s=21

Two reasons I am more optimistic on this race than I have been all winter, even though Saccone is still favored:

1. We are two weeks away, and this race has not received national attention like GA-6. We political geeks know about it, but it hasn't really broken through to national news. I believe this means that disconnected Republican voters can stay dormant unlike in GA-6.

2. I only recently picked up on how much this is a suburban vs. rural district and has a relatively high rate of college educated voters.

The polls still favor Saccone, but I don't rule out a Lamb win.

I'm actually pretty optimistic on Lamb too. He's definitely had a better campaign than Saccone.

That probably means Lamb loses, though Smiley

Anyone else feel like Lamb has massive momentum right now? https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/in-tight-pennsylvania-race-gop-struggles-to-land-a-blow-against-conor-lamb/2018/03/01/4f7678e2-1d5f-11e8-ae5a-16e60e4605f3_story.html?utm_term=.79368ea72e23

BRD Polling - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rlBtiNl6sz02e1WvEy5vNTMm9AtfeyCLe7jvcYyq9RY/edit


Lamb - 47
Saccone - 46
Undecided - 6

Undecideds lean Lamb 50-46 when pushed.

Trump approval above water 50-44
Casey approval below water 38-45 (yikes)
Toomey approval above water 41-34

Pretty sure Casey won this district in 2012, so not sure how it's impressive for him to be -7 in a supposed "blue wave" year.

I hope Limo is trolling because Bob Casey isn't even remotely vulnerable.

hofold, Trump canceled his events in the district because Lamb was closing in on the polls. You really think that he's going to campaign there now?

I never said he was. Casey is going to put up career-high numbers in the Philly burbs with Barletta running. But it's still distressing to see the continued erosion of Democratic strength in Western PA, even as the national environment is very blue.

Lamb says he's for universal background checks, against raising the age to 21 for buying rifles. #resistance ain't gonna be happy with that.

I'm not getting my hopes up. Still expect a small Saccone victory, especially if Trump's approval keeps edging up as it is now.

I assume other than the primaries this will be our last electoral test until the midterms.


There is AZ-08 and the jungle primaries in California.

Also the Ohio race.

I phonebanked a little this morning. Was talking with this woman who supported Lamb when I saw the Gravis poll. Unfortunately, this race is now Safe R and I told the woman that she shouldn't bother voting. She had heard about the Democratic collapse in the Texas primary and thought the same.

So I see you've given up even attempting to troll.

Mods, please nuke.

Do people understand what a joke is? For gods sake, I literally copied Virginia's post and added some colors and characters.

Wait, why is Limo phone banking in SW Pennsylvania?

There's a hubdialer.com link to phonebank for Lamb that anyone can access.

Anyways, I'm predicting Lamb +1.7

The wave of momentum is crashing alongside Conor.

I think the tariffs and amazing economic news might slow that momentum.

Conor Lamb is almost certainly the best candidate of the several that Democrats have run in federal special elections.

For reference, they also pseudo-endorsed Trump in 2016: https://theincline.com/2016/11/07/pittsburgh-critics-blast-post-gazette-pseudo-trump-endorsement/
