Based mostly on Rasmussen polling, my final week predictions are a Trump+1 popular vote and 312 electoral vote winning the swing states of NV, AZ, GA, NC, Wi, MI and PA (and all the other expected red states associated with 312.)  
.
I would not be shocked, however, if Trump loses.  Everything is within the margin of polling error, and that assumes their poll weightings are correct -- which is not covered by statistical MOE.  Also can never predict an October surprise, but it is late in the game now.

the polls are so tight, I won’t be shocked if Kamala wins.

I can't even begin to think of anything THAT dumb, so close to an election. Megyn Kelly, who if anyone saw her on Bill Maher Friday said she is voting Trump, was excoriating Team Trump for what happened in NYC.  
.
Kamala +2 in PV and she wins the EC 286-252.

…points to a Trump win at 312 EV, but it could very well be much higher. Harris is not going to do as well as Hillary did.

The electorate has changed massively since 2020 and the sampling formulas have not fully accounted for it.

This I think is the best case scenario for Harris. Trump could do much better than this.

Nicky hasn’t made a prediction and to date has only acknowledged that it’s very close. Yet when the pollsters report it as a toss up, Nicky says they haven’t got it right?

My What If Premise says that pollsters significantly undercount GOP voters in polls. The margins do vary by 2% to almost 10%. But there seems to be this odd phenomenon where that percentage varies by state. I assume this has something to do with how sophisticated and refined the polling is in a given state. I was looking at this the other day, and some states are really out there. The polling in Texas for instance is really bad. Nevada seems a bit goofy too. But Virginia seems to be pretty spot on. Their variance is not that high. This isn’t too surprising, Virginia has a lot of resources, a lot of federal workers, lots of military, etc. But places like Minnesota the variance is like 7-8% in the last couple elections. So how much the polls are off does bounce around a bit. But one thing I haven’t seen is any state undercounting Democrats. It may happen, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it.

Carville issued a non-denial denial. He said produce a witness and he'll part with 100 dollars.

If that report re Carville is true then how come he predicted a Harris win only yesterday on MSNBC?
Methinks ChicKie is peddling bullshit.

Lester noted that Carville issued a curious non-denial denial re his private remarks. No one is questioning whether or not he spoke on MSNBC.

Clearly you were using the bogus Carville story to imply he really thought Harris will lose. Fester then bolstered the "story" by mentioning the "non-denial denial." I posted the MSNBC reference to point out what he ACTUALLY said in public. You were not "questioning it." You never mentioned it until I did. Your torture of language and common sense continues.

If you don't go over a notorious spin doctor's carefully chosen words with a proctoscope, you are even more naive than I imagined.

But sometimes things are obvious on their face; like that the original Carville story is utterly made up.

So I’m going along with the Raging Cajun,Regardless of what some have posted on twitville..
I don’t buy the twitter propaganda bullshit so…there

Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina to hit 270.  Everything else will be gravy.  

calling half the country "GARBAGE"

So far, all the conservatives have predicted a Trump win and the liberals who have offered a prediction are going with Harris.  Is any conservative going to predict Harris? And lib going to predict Trump?

The conservatives are unemotional and form their opinions based on facts while the Libs are all about following their emotions and feelings.  The respective nominees know this and that's why they conducted their campaigns to target these two distinct types of voters.   The facts are not going to change for the conservatives, so they will stay the course.  However, moderate Dems who realized they are being manipulated through their emotions are still available for poaching by Trump.   That is why the more Kamala shows she is playing them through her repetitive rhetoric and avoidance of the issues, the more she will hemorrhage voters who will move over to common-sense with Trump.  She is trying to convince voters that it is more important to hate Trump than to want a better life for themselves, and even hard-core Libs are waking up to her scam.

Every swing state is within the margin of error. So at this point it all depends on the ground game. And Harris is better organized. Musk is in charge of Trump's ground game and he's a rank amateur, plus reports say his ground organization is poorly organized and rife with fraud.

I just found out my uncle vote for Harris.  That does it. I am no longer visiting his grave.

Fester finally said something funny!

It appears the only states left are NV, AZ and AL.  Trump is leading in all three and they total 20 electoral votes, which when added to the 292 on your map equals 312.

I've been waiting for the popular vote to be finished counting -- fucking Democrat retards in California -- to get the final margin to compare against my final week election prediction.  They still aren't finished counting but it's close enough to take the victory lap.
.
I had predicted 312 electoral votes for Trump, a sweep of all seven swing states, and a popular vote margin of +1.
.
Currently it looks like the popular vote margin for Trump is +1.6.   So I was off by 0.6 points.  And obviously got the electoral vote count and swing state predictions dead on.
.
For the popular vote I used Rasmussen's daily results except I did a 10 day running average.  For the swing states I took the best (for Trump) of Rasmussen and AtlasIntel projections.  I think Rasmussen had Trump losing MI and AtlasIntel had Trump losing NC (thought AtlasIntel switched to Trump winning NC after I posted my prediction.)
.
On a personal note, there have been a few DM's addressed to me, probably from members of this particular forum.  However I haven't had VIP access for a few months, so sorry those DM's remain unread.

Great job. I had predicted 305.

I woke up the morning of the election sure they were going to steal it again but then I just had a gut feeling.  

You should give Allan Lichtman a few pointers. His "keys" were WAY off. He blames Elon Musk. 🤣🤣
