No, smoking is in the first instance interior to the human body and not included in the stats.

You are too easy, try harder man, you are not even self consistent. Well, I guess I have to teach you again what an economist is (hint: an economist is not a journalist or a political scientist). Here is the answer to the question you are asking, and it appears that these pollsters are university political scientists. "Donald Trump’s average forecasted margin of victory in the state rose to 1.9 percentage points—the largest it has been since October 9th—on the back of polls from Redfield & Wilton and Washington Post/George Mason University.. " "For the first time in two months Donald Trump has taken the lead in our model, which now gives him a 54 in 100 chance of winning the election. " Why should we trust the results of The Economist publication? Partly because it is anti-Trump, yet gives the edge to Trump in its own model. That is what we need to see for credibility. Alternatively, there would be more credibility if a pro-Republican publication had a model showing Harris winning.

It's okay, we know you are not a working economist so predict away! Your predictions are always fun. Giving you some basic instruction is always fun. I get that you are not working nor have ever studied economics. Here is the description of the model used by The Economist, rather impressive. "Methodology The Economist’s model of America’s presidential election estimates each major candidate’s chances of winning each state and the overall electoral college. Developed with a team of scholars at Columbia University, the forecast combines national and state-level polls with fundamental data about the state of the economy, historical voting patterns and the demographics of each state to predict the likelihood of various outcomes of the race. The model does this by constructing thousands of scenarios, each one containing different vote shares in each state and different values for the impact of polling biases and other characteristics. The model is more likely to generate scenarios that are closer to matching the polls and fundamental data it has been given. The win probabilities presented here represent the share of these scenarios won by each candidate."

The 2024 EV Driver Survey, conducted early this year by nonprofit organizations Plug In America and EPRI, found 89% of EV owners said they are likely or very likely to purchase an EV as their next vehicle, a result Plug In America said has been consistent since the survey was first done in 2021. And among Tesla drivers and EV drivers age 65 and older, more than 90% of the respondents said their next vehicle would likely be an EV. The survey of more than 4,200 consumers, including more than 3,300 EV drivers, showed 77% of those who don’t already have an EV and are considering buying or leasing a car in the next 12 months are considering a battery electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.

Yeah the reduction of the use of Coal also means the reduction in air particulates..... the last 15 years in the US is proof... Higher MPG vehicles results in less pollution.......EVs and Plug in hyrbids means even less pollution than your beloved clunkers put out and you are against tougher emission standards.. which means your clunkers are sent to the crushers....or getting rid of the sale of clunkers....and you get all giddy when coal is used .... shows how mentally challenged you are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
