@CBSNews @edisonresearch Our current delegate estimate allocates 42 out of the 54 available delegates in South Carolina...

So far, we've estimated Biden with at least 32 delegates -- over half of what's at stake -- and Sanders with at least 10

#SCprimary2020 Image
@CBSNews @edisonresearch With over 90% of Democratic #SCprimary2020 votes now counted, Biden has substantially cut into Sanders' national delegate lead

Threading some interesting findings on '22 turnout via U.S. Census Current Population Survey...

52.2% of citizen voting-age population voted in '22 — just a point behind midterm record set in '18

69% of voting-age citizens registered to vote — highest on record (since '02)

1/4 Image
Nearly half (47.1%) of '22 votes were cast ahead of Election Day

While 20 points lower than '20, that's 9 points higher than previous midterm in '18

Nearly one third (31.8%) of voters cast ballots by mail (that's also down double digits from '20, while up 9 points from '18)

2/ Image
Use of early & mail voting varied by race & ethnicity...

Highest usage rate came from Asian voters (67%)

Majority of Hispanic voters (58%) voted either early or by mail

Lowest usage rates came from White non-Hispanic (48%) and Black voters (46%)

NEW poll on GOP primary electorate and why most would still pick Trump

MAGA-friendly ideas widely held among Reps...

Want candidates who say Trump won in '20, don't criticize him, challenge "woke" ideas, make liberals angry

Some are exhausted by Trump, but far outnumbered

1/7 Image
It's early, so voters first picked as many names as they are *considering* for GOP nom — then picked one they would vote for today

Trump at 58% vote, winning more of his considerers than anyone else

DeSantis trails by a lot, but has room to grow among those considering him

2/7 Image
Trump may also have support floor: quarter of likely GOP voters considering *only Trump* right now, and no other names tested

Important because someone could win with plurality support if eventual field is fractured again

Another half of voters considering Trump + other(s)

NEW Battleground Tracker out today...

GOP heads into fall still in position to win back House, but advantage a bit smaller after tumultuous summer — trend points toward narrow gains instead of wave

We estimate 226 GOP seats today — 12-seat gain that is smaller than in July

1/5
GOP winning voters who prioritize economy/inflation, so what's tempering overall advantage?

Abortion is big part of story: still on voters' minds, shoring up Dem support, especially with women

More say midterm vote will be to support abortion rights rather than oppose them

2/5
Another part of story is dropping gas prices and uptick in Biden approval — 45% with RVs, highest since Feb

Ratings also up on handling bread-and-butter issues like economy and inflation

Democrats driving gains: +8 on approval from July and +13 on things going well in U.S.

First edition of 2022 Battleground Tracker finds GOP lead of about 25 seats in U.S. House race

We survey voters across all 435 districts and apply an MRP model translating current preferences into seats

Snapshot of electorate, not a forecast — 100 days until Election Day!

1/5
Our poll explains GOP lead cbsn.ws/3JjWqfB

Looks like nature-of--times election: voters most likely to base vote on way things are in country — bad news for party in power

GOP leading among those who cite inflation and those feeling personal impact of higher prices

2/5
Midterms typically referendum on party in power...

Overall, 47% say they're basing their vote a lot on their feelings about Biden — driven by Republicans, most of whom still don't call him legitimate 2020 winner

Trump is still factor for about as many — driven by Democrats

New @CBSNewsPoll study this week on voting in U.S.

In first installment, we find that most Americans say they prefer the voting process be left alone or made easier

With fight over voting in national spotlight, partisans see it as high-stakes fight affecting who wins power

1/6
Ds see risk to their electoral fortunes if voting is made harder, while Rs see risk to theirs if it's made easier

Ds say harder voting results in some key constituencies losing power

Rs less likely than Ds to see gains/losses, but on balance predict latter if voting easier

2/6
Note: partisans' views echo political discourse but may not be right

Many states expanded by-mail voting in 2020, but not clear it was responsible for historic turnout — recent research suggests otherwise

And even if easier voting boosted turnout, unclear Ds always benefit

Thread highlighting takeaways from survey experiment

Given claims that Trump could improve vaccine uptake among supporters, we looked at effects of Trump and Biden endorsing vaccines

Data collected March 17-21 with @YouGov; recontacted people from March 10-13 national poll

1/7
Reps randomly assigned to see either:
Extra Q about Trump getting and endorsing vaccine
No extra question

Dems randomly assigned to see either:
Extra Q about Biden (analogous to above)
No extra question

Idea was to nudge people w/ presidential cue and measure causal effect

2/7
Trump cue comes as news to many Republicans...

Only 11% say they've heard a lot about Trump getting vaccinated and encouraging others to do the same in a recent speech

Another third say they've heard some about it, but a similar number saying they have heard nothing at all

3/7
