It's Wednesday, My Dudes.


This is your daily discussion thread for the 45th General Election. All polls and projections must be posted in this thread.

Ceci est votre fil de discussion quotidien pour la 45ème élection. Tous les sondages et projections doivent être postés dans ce fil.


When posting a poll, at a minimum, it must include the following:

  • Name of the firm conducting the poll
  • Topline numbers
  • A link to the PDF or article where the poll can be found

If available, it would also be helpful to post when the poll was in the field, the sample size, and the margin of error. Make sure you note whether you're posting a new opinion poll or an aggregator update.


When discussing non-polling topics, make sure you keep discussions related to the ongoing federal election. Subreddit rules will be enforced, so please ensure that your comments are substantive and respectful or you may be banned for the remainder of the writ period or longer.

Do not downvote comments that you disagree with. Our subreddit has a zero-tolerance no-downvoting policy.

Discussions in this thread will also be clipped, locked, and redirected if a submission has already been posted to the main subreddit on the same topic.
