Don't know if this has been posted yet, but the forecast for tomorrow in the district is 25-34°F and light snow.

Snow is just another form of rain, checkmate libs.

Advanced rain

I really cannot see Saccone winning this. The polls showed a continuous shift to Lamb, the crosstabs are extremely favorable to Conor. I would honestly be shell shocked if Saccone won. It would be due to extremely low turnout (Something I don't see happening).

Great numbers for Lamb! *fingers crossed*

In the spirit of genuine debate (rather than concern trolling), if it turns out that Saccone somehow did pull out a victory tomorrow, how exactly would this happen? Or put another way, would would be the cause of the kind of polling error that would lead to Lamb being overestimated in this way?

Snow has destroyed Lamb in the Pittsburgh suburbs... I now predict that Saccone will get 78% of the vote based on my mind model

Not too surprising. 538 and others like Cook have been remarking about strong approve/disapprove since Trump wormed his way into office. Someone who strongly dislikes Trump and what he is doing in office is not liable to help his party, which at this point I think is relatively clear will go far out of their way to protect Trump, no matter how dumb or corrupt his actions are. I have to admit, the lengths they will go is even surprising me. I always thought there would be a breaking point, but I guess that doesn't make sense since Republican voters like Trump a lot more than they like Republican lawmakers.

There are just too many factors that are in favor of Lamb. Lean D.

Wow, no wonder he's about to lose tomorrow. Definitely the tone of a confident campaign.

My prediction prior to today was Saccone winning by 3, now I'm not so sure. I had my doubts before about a Lamb victory tomorrow but that new Monmouth poll is truly astounding! Even with the possibility of snow, Lamb will likely keep it close at a bare minimum. I still suspect that this district's natural partisan lean might help Saccone eke out a narrow win but I am now more confident than ever that Lamb could very well pull this off. It's pathetic how happy I will be if he does.

This is a true tossup and I am at least confident that it will end up embarrassing the GOP with either them losing or barely winning in a district where a Democrat shouldn't have had a chance.

Guys. Lamb is going to win. Let's stop with the "Ohh partisan lean!" "Might eek out!" "Saccone +27" crap. The polls have continuously moved in favor of Lamb, he has the energized base, has the fundraising numbers, etc.

Plus, Saccone is talking like he knows he's gonna lose.

He sounds exactly like Trump here, did he have a stroke or something?

Why did the republican win this by 37 in 2016?

It's not like if Lamb ran in 2016, he'd have won. Don't get me wrong, he's a great candidate (against a poor one at that), but the national environment and who is president has a lot to do with it. I'd even argue it has the most to do with it. In 2016, Obama was still the incumbent and Democrats were in an election under 8 continuous years of a Democratic president who was generally more unpopular than he was popular. That takes a toll.

This is why I sometimes say that I really think most people have forgotten just how much an unpopular incumbent president can hurt their party in elections held while that president is in office. It seriously sucks the energy out of their party while firing up the opposition. Doubly so when said president is extremely controversial, like Trump. They don't call it the White House curse for nothing.

Is it too early to start making Lamb for Senate '22 signs?

In addition to what Virginia said, Murphy was pro-union and Democrats had given up seriously contesting this district with him in it (if they ever did.)

Yeah, don't put the cart before the horse.  There were people talking up Ossoff for President in 2028 before the GA-6 special.
