Re: Next Mayor 2019
The 538 standard is to eliminate party bias in polling in races where party is a strong predictor of voting. Not sure I would use this site as a predictor of bias in a left vs left race where party isn't on the ballot.DaveKCMO wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:46 amRemington's score from FiveThirtyEight.com is a C: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/johnmatrix wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 8:20 am Kc Ragfourm's golden girl still down in the polls

That said, this poll is effectively useless to predict a winner, it has huge spread right now based on the number of undecideds and bias.
It shows anything from Lucus winning 73-27 to Justus winning 66-44.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
She won my vote with the debates last night. I got the feeling Lucas was saying yes to everyone and telling them what they wanted to hear. When there are hundreds of citizen groups pulling in every direction, you need someone who will say no.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Remington's "races called correctly" score is 67%.
Regardless, it's an open secret that Lucas is working with people affiliated with the polling firm and that Remington's intense interest (free polls that usually cost!) in the mayoral race is connected to that. In short, take it for what it's worth until an independent outlet (like the Star) does a poll.
Remington's February primary poll showed Justus in the lead and Steve Miller in the #2 spot (he finished fourth).The percentage of polls in which the polling firm correctly identified the winner of the race. If the poll indicated a tie for the lead and one of the tied candidates won, the pollster is given credit for half a win.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Remington's methodology produces results that lean more Republican more than the real world so 538 adds 1.1 points to a Democratic candidate in their model.DaveKCMO wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 3:49 pm Remington's "races called correctly" score is 67%.

So which Democrat do we use as the proxy Republican in the mayoral race so using their model makes sense?
Knowing who is paying for the polls is dramatically more useful than the 538 model.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Pay no attention to polling. A bad rainstorm on Election Day could up-end this race.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Energy and momentum doesn't matter, it's all about turnout. There's plenty of examples of people not voting because they felt their candidate was going to win so they don't need to make the effort.

It totally matters. If folks arent excited they arent going to show especially for a local election.flyingember wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 9:11 amEnergy and momentum doesn't matter, it's all about turnout.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
I'm not following this race very closely, it seems to me that we have two good options and I don't really care that much, but just so I'm clear on the current rag dynamic: is the poster people were lambasting as a racist elsewhere basically the only person rooting for the black guy to win? Or have I got something twisted?

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Basically the two candidates are nearly identical on their voting records, so it comes down to character and leadership style. Most of us aren't on here saying "Lucas is losing" but one (new-ish) poster is saying "Justus is losing" so we're pretty much all reacting to that fakey Remington push-poll rhetoric.

Seems very bot like in the approach. Definitely not a bot but trying to drive division and doubt while prroviding no real insight.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
This site while informative on new projects is a haven for big money in Kansas City. Many are associated with developers in town so have skin in the game. If you'll notice I have a different opinion on some issues but they never address said points. Instead they go for character assassination IE: Racist, Bot, Etc. It's much easier for them to do this than admit being wrong because thats potential free money they will be losing once the political tide turns and they are beginning to with Justus down in the polls. Again notice how there's been a few polls released and somehow said poll is a Republican conspiracy. Why the hell would a Republican pollster slant polling for Lucas who IMO is a far left politician?mean wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 6:55 pm I'm not following this race very closely, it seems to me that we have two good options and I don't really care that much, but just so I'm clear on the current rag dynamic: is the poster people were lambasting as a racist elsewhere basically the only person rooting for the black guy to win?

Re: Next Mayor 2019
Im sure some people on this site are developers or associated with, I would be surprised if anywhere near half were. Lots are just development nerds. My guess as to why people have an issue with Lucas, and this is my problem with him too. He keeps saying he wants to make more affordable housing, but he has no idea how to do it, and just feels like companies that are looking to do it will make it for him. He is basically virtue signaling everyone who feels like Kansas City has an affordability issue. He also clearly has no idea how cities work, because when they Justus says she wants a department of transportation, he makes a wise crack like a kid about pot holes. I think ultimately he would be fine, but he has no fresh ideas and would probably slow the City’s growth. I don’t even live in Kansas City I’m not in development. So there is a refutable point to why someone may not like him. Lucas isn’t far left he is just unimaginativejohnmatrix wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:20 amThis site while informative on new projects is a haven for big money in Kansas City.

Re: Next Mayor 2019
You would think with the economy booming and all the apartments being built in the metro area eventually the market will settle down and prices will become more affordable. I give Lucas credit for atleast trying to discuss new issues it's getting people to pay attention. The current mayor had became stale and too one track minded on development.Riverite wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2019 8:31 amIm sure some people on this site are developers or associated with, I would be surprised if anywhere near half were.
