What's your prediction for the 2024 US election?
Who's winning POTUS? Will it be called on election night or drawn out? Congress? Etc

I think we'll have a Dem trifecta after election night. I feel the even the nonpartisan polls have overcorrected in favor of Republicans after 2016, and since the overturning of Roe, polls have been underestimating Dem candidates.
According to some of the information in here they seem to be claiming we're still overestimating Dem performance in presidential elections, but that midterm elections where Trump isn't on the ballot thing are more accurate. :(
It's certainly possible. The polls are showing it's effectively a tossup. But my real theory is that things are fundamentally different after the death of Roe, and that the pollsters really don't have a way to capture that. Yes, it is a harsh year for the Senate, but there are some dark horse races, namely Texas and Nebraska, that may really surprise us.
I've been reading some discussions this week about fake polls claiming Republicans are winning to make Dems think there's no point in voting. Apparently it was a technique used in a previous recent election? It would explain all the results I've seen in the last few days showing them with a strong lead, where a week or two ago other polls showed an even race. Doesn't really matter though, everyone should remember that the only thing that counts is getting out and casting your vote no matter what the polls might suggest.
There have been a lot of Republican polls posted, part of their "flood the zone" strategy. But I think even the nonpartisan polls are underestimating Dem support a bit.
One can hope, but I suspect nobody will be announcing a victor on Tuesday night.
