Comments on: Amazingly fast response http://election.princeton.edu/2008/08/24/amazingly-fast-response/ A first draft of electoral history Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:35:25 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Sam Wang http://election.princeton.edu/2008/08/24/amazingly-fast-response/comment-page-1/#comment-227 Sam Wang Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:22:08 +0000 http://election.princeton.edu/?p=478#comment-227 I was moved to comment when I saw the change continue in the same direction for several days. Other sites are less precise and therefore would have trouble picking up the change. Caveat: there was at most one day of sampling after the houses event. It is also possible that some other event has driven the change, though I am not sure what that would be. In any event, this uptick is about to be overwhelmed by the next two weeks’ events - whatever their net effect is.

In any event, this uptick is about to be overwhelmed by the next two weeks’ events – whatever their net effect is.

I must say you're very brave/confident. I haven't yet spotted this trend being confirmed at other sites. “Seeing this effect so quickly and clearly comes from having very high precision.”
