PA is the whole thing.

Bad vibes driving through central Pennsylvania. I know itās Trump country, but jfc every other house is Trump signs.
There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now, the enthusiasm. The Democrats do not. Independents are breaking for Romney. And thereās the thing about the yard signs. In Florida a few weeks ago I saw Romney signs, not Obama ones. From Ohio I hear the same. From tony Northwest Washington, D.C., I hear the same.
Is it possible this whole thing is playing out before our eyes and weāre not really noticing because weāre too busy looking at data on paper instead of whatās in front of us? Maybe thatās the real distortion of the polls this year: They left us discounting the world around us.

You know what else there is a lot of in central PA? Land, and land canāt vote. The people live in the non-shithole parts.
I mean we are fucked for sure, but pennsyltucky is the nut low.

Iām going to AZ this weekend. Iāll better know the vibes there afterward.
You might laugh at vibes, but online vibes are not the same as vibes on the ground.

Sounds like some of that virtue signaling that those hillbillies purportedly hate so so much.
Just for fun, but I made a graph showing what UP thinks will happen on election night. If the predictions keep flooding in over the next two weeks, I will update it

Thatās cool!
Some of the predictions were clearly not serious, though.
Iām continuing to see nothing but positive vibes on the ground. Iāve spent over 20 years working either in the military, law enforcement, and EMS. My friend group leans towards upper middle class with business owners and landlords who legitimately benefited from the 2017 tax changes, would snap vote for any establishment Republican, and some who certainly even voted for Trump in 2016 and/or 2020. I have a significant sample of Republican voters to measure vibes.
Yeah the far right is hyping Trump again and putting yard signs back up when a month ago they were silenced. But the class of people who donāt study politics for fun in their free time and get off on believing theyāre thoughtful centrists are 100% swinging to Harris. People who donāt make politics part of their identity but vote Republican because thatās what they were told to do growing up are curious about switching. Iām sure my vibeometer has a higher MOE than a quality poll but there is overlap between what Iām seeing and polls underrepresenting Harris voters by 2-3%. Iām not going to be worried unless a consistent pattern of Trump +3-4% in swing states starts appearing, and voting is already underway so thatās not happening. Harris is winning in a landslide, book it.
