President: Kamala wins. Blue Wall (MI/WI/PA) holds, plus another 1-2 battleground states. Popular vote wise I think this has been a +2 or +3 race for quite some time, similar to 2012. Biggest difference is that, just like in 2022, there's an avalanche of junk polls to lower aggregates. I think high quality polls are constantly pumping out questionable results (whether Kamala is up or not) because there's a constant assumption this will be a heavy R electorate. I think the opposite. Heavy female, heavy young, lots of black and Hispanic voters while Kamala comes close to Biden's white vote totals.
Harris: 303
Trump: 235
Senate: I think republicans take the senate +1 due to Montana. I think Brown holds on in Ohio. Texas senate race seems like another fundraising mirage IE a dem raises a bunch of money running a national campaign in a red state, loses by 4-6 points. Closest surprise: Nebraska. I think republicans hold the seat but the independent there seems to be in a better position to win than Allred in Texas.
House: Dems take house, +10.
I hope you are right, at this point I genuinely have no idea how it's going to go. Based on what I see I'd say trump, but I feel like much of that is confected bollocks and the media + online discourse might be disconnected from the voting.
I'm not really feeling a united opposition against him, which is worrying me, though on the other hand how can he possibly be more popular now than in 2016
