A day before the 2024 election, I have decided to slightly change the margins for my official Senate map. I was not expecting any last-minute data that came in would affect the model, but it has.
I am now predicting a 57-43 GOP Senate majority for 2024. AZ will now be classified as tilt R in my final Senate forecast.
Here are my newly updated OFFICIAL Senate margins for the 2024 election. (I am only listing the ones with changed margins from the original post. All other states remain the same margins.)
🔴WI: Hovde +2.9
🔴MI: Rogers +3.2
🔴PA: McCormick +3.3
🔴NV: Brown +2.1
🔴AZ: Lake +0.2
🔵ME: King +12.1
I will be dropping my final 2024 election predictions soon on both Youtube and X. Stay tuned.

2024 Vote Share Model:
(10/31/24):
🔴Trump: 50.7% (+3.9)
🔵Harris: 46.8%
Daily Average: 🔴Trump +3.88
7-Day Average: 🔴Trump +3.96
The race is stabilizing at about Trump +4 nationally in my model which would lead to a blowout win for Trump in the electoral college. I have no doubt in my mind that Trump is winning this race as the swing states are gone for Harris. Now the conversation turns to how many deep blue states like MN, NH, NM or VA could flip red.
2024 National Vote Share:
🔴 Trump: 50.8% (+4.1)
🔵 Harris: 46.7%
🟣 Third Party: 2.5%
Trump is continuing to expand his Popular Vote lead now to +4 points in the latest update for my model. The recent national shift is favoring Trump as he is gaining everywhere and has major momentum closing out this race.
He has now crossed the 50% mark which would easily be the best national performance of his political career.
🚨Gold Crown Politics OFFICIAL 2024 ELECTION PREDICTION:
As a political forecaster, I’m now officially calling the race for Trump. I project he wins 2024.
I was meaning to do this sooner, but it doesn’t make much of a difference now. Trump is running away with this race, and you guys won’t believe how much he leads my national average now. Stay tuned!

The state polls typically get redder in the final 2 weeks before Election Day, and STILL underestimate Trump. He currently leads the 2024 swing states by an average of 1 pt in RCP. I’d say it’s likely he ends up leading them by an average of 3-5 pts on Election Day and still gets underestimated. Works like clockwork.
The best national pollster from 2020, Atlas Intel, now has a margin of Trump +3.1 in their latest poll.
My model average is Trump +3.15.
Looks pretty damn spot on.
