Topics
Galen Druk:本文探讨了距离爱荷华州党团会议还有四个月的时间里,特朗普的提名是否不可避免,以及如果并非不可避免,我们如何将赢得共和党初选的可能性放在历史背景下。 Nathaniel Rakich:就内部民调的使用,我认为拥有更多数据是好事,但必须知道如何处理这些数据。媒体机构可以使用内部民调,但需谨慎解读,并考虑竞选团队发布民调的目的。 Elliot Morris:我不信任党派发布的民调结果,认为其通常会高估赞助候选人的支持率。内部民调在报道中经常被误导性地使用,尤其是在初选中,其效用可能更低。 Leah Askeranam:内部民调虽然不一定准确预测结果,但有助于了解哪些候选人仍在竞争中。在罗德岛的特别选举中,温和派民主党人加布里埃尔·阿莫以33%的得票率获胜,利用了拜登的支持率。罗德岛的初选结果更多地受到候选人丑闻的影响,而非意识形态分歧。很难从罗德岛的选举结果中得出关于民主党不同路线的结论。 Elliot Morris:根据历史数据,特朗普赢得共和党提名的概率约为80%。但存在诸多不确定性因素,例如特朗普是否会退出竞选,以及民调的变动和不确定性。尽管全国民调显示特朗普领先,但仍存在其他候选人赢得提名的可能性。由于历史数据有限,对特朗普赢得提名的预测存在局限性。 Nathaniel Rakich:尽管存在不确定性,但所有证据都表明特朗普至少是领先者。初选结果并非由全国得票数决定,各州的顺序也很重要。除了民调、初选的波动性和顺序外,候选人数量也是造成不确定性的因素。如果某个候选人无法获得超过20%的支持率,那么特朗普赢得提名的可能性就会更高。特朗普需要获得50%的支持率才能确保提名。 Leah Askeranam:虽然特朗普在全国民调中领先,但他尚未在爱荷华州或新罕布什尔州获得稳固的领先地位。 Galen Druk:在犹他州的特别选举中,反特朗普的共和党候选人贝基·爱德华兹与亲特朗普的候选人竞争激烈。在犹他州的选举中,反特朗普的共和党候选人有可能获胜,前提是亲特朗普的选票被分散。今年的特别选举中,民主党表现优于预期。参与特别选举的选民群体可能比以往更加倾向于民主党。新罕布什尔州众议院的特别选举值得关注,因为其结果可能影响该州的政治格局。

The podcast opens with a discussion on the Republican presidential primary, focusing on whether Donald Trump's nomination is inevitable and the use of internal polls in political campaigns.

Shownotes Transcript

Now that we are on the other side of Labor Day and summer is subsiding, this is — as tradition goes — when focus on political campaigns really begins to heat up. The off-year elections this November will get some attention, but the main attraction is still the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

In this installment of the podcast, we ask a question we will undoubtedly return to in the four months until the Iowa caucuses: Is Donald Trump’s nomination inevitable? And if not inevitable, how can we place the likelihood he wins the GOP primary in historical context?

We also have partial results from two special primary elections and we debate “good or bad use of polling” for a classic and controversial topic: internal polls.
