Yep. My question was directed to Jonathan. NBC's final poll--which came as close as any media poll to nailing it--also showed that low-propensity voters were overwhelmingly leaning Trump. Voters whose likelihood to vote ranked at 9 or 10 were tied in that poll. Voters whose likelihood to vote was ranked at 7 or 8 were going Harris +2. And the voters who were at 6 or less for likelihood to vote supported Trump +16. Shor's findings were absolutely consistent with that.

imo Millions of Biden voters stayed home; Harris lost by about 250,000 in 3 states that matter; i contend city voters turned out in lots fewer % than rural voters; so, imo the above analysis is flawed; it is a debatable topic in my view

Trump picked up 3 million more voters between 2020 and 2024.

Data and polling both tell us they were in a large part low propensity.

Yes but overall turnout was down and Harris lost a more Biden votes than Trump gained from 2020 (millions of blue state D voters stayed home) . . so I don't think anyone can make a clear cut definitive statement either way. I think if we'd had 2020-level turnout Harris would've concievably won the PV if not the EC.
