Electoral College poll updates from 2014-10-18 (UTC)

06:54:10 After some consideration, I have removed some UArk poll results that were Clinton vs Generic Republican in AR. http://t.co/3gg65DGb3U
06:57:38 I include prev elec results in my avg’s when there are not enough polls on a candidate pair in a state, other generics didn’t seem to fit.
06:59:02 Since this affected the average in AR for Clinton vs every Republican, there were many status changes.
06:59:18 I will report here on just those affecting the вЂњtop fiveвЂќ best polled combos.
06:59:43 That would be Clinton vs Christie, Paul, Bush, Huckabee and Cruz.
07:02:48 In AR, Clinton vs Christie moved from Weak Clinton to Strong Christie. http://t.co/YkNUil42aA
07:03:34 In AR, Clinton vs Paul moved from Weak Paul to Strong Paul. http://t.co/8w1Gi68gQ1
07:04:09 In AR, Clinton vs Bush moved from Weak Bush to Strong Bush. http://t.co/gKdL47KhH8
07:04:44 In AR, Clinton vs Huckabee moved from Strong Huckabee to Solid Huckabee. http://t.co/9xvpZlhUsI
07:05:30 In AR, Clinton vs Cruz moved from Strong Cruz to Solid Cruz. http://t.co/vDPwxpmexr
07:06:48 Nationally, Clinton best case vs Christie moved from Clinton by 204 to Clinton by 192.
07:07:43 Nationally, Clinton best case vs Paul moved from Clinton by 236 to Clinton by 224. http://t.co/27ifbbaJLC
07:08:29 Nationally, Clinton best case vs Bush moved from Clinton by 188 to Clinton by 176. http://t.co/ok7J0g9NXb
07:09:18 Nationally, expected Clinton vs Christie moved from Clinton by 168 to Clinton by 156. http://t.co/O12etrci9U
07:10:19 None of the Republican best cases, nor the tipping point states or margins changed after eliminating the UArk results.
07:13:15 The order of the вЂњbest polledвЂќ pairs did change fr Clinton vs Christie, Paul, Bush, Huckabee, Cruz to Christie, Bush, Paul. Huckabee, Cruz.
07:16:30 That’s it for the changes caused by removing the UArk Clinton vs Generic Republican results in AR. Sorry for all the changes.

00:21:57 So my five free days are over. I got done less than half of what I wanted to get done. But it was a good break anyway. Just not long enough.
00:24:21 Of course, I’m still a bit sick, still tired. So there is that. :-/

06:00:47 Stuffy head still not gone, but now my asthma is acting up and the respiratory side of things is deteriorating quickly. So much fun! :-/

19:50:50 .@ScottNY71 @wgseattle Mine hit two weeks yesterday. It was worse the first week, but still doesn’t feel like it is ready to be вЂњdoneвЂќ. in reply to ScottNY71
19:50:58 Retweeted @wgseattle 18:05:56 @abulsme Same here, it lingers on and on. Was doing albuterol and menthol ricolas and mucinex too. Get better soon Sam! in reply to abulsme

19:57:31 Retweeted @ScottNY71 19:56:45 @abulsme @wgseattle We had 4 days that felt like a nasty cold plus flu: congestion, fever, aches, etc. then "just" congestion & exhaustion. in reply to abulsme
19:59:16 .@ScottNY71 @wgseattle Yup. Sounds like same thing. Not pleasant. Esp since in вЂњjustвЂќ part you feel like you really SHOULD be doing stuff. in reply to ScottNY71
20:01:23 Retweeted @ScottNY71 20:00:50 @abulsme @wgseattle @Scatterbrandy @AmyNotAmy We think it's enterovirus. Basically, a bad cold but never diagnosed bc it was just a bad cold in reply to abulsme
20:02:20 .@ScottNY71 @wgseattle @Scatterbrandy @AmyNotAmy Maybe. We haven't even been to the doctor or anything. Because it is "just" a cold… in reply to ScottNY71
20:02:30 Retweeted @ScottNY71 20:01:58 @abulsme @wgseattle In that "just" part, you're strong enough to do stuff, sick enough to feel awful doing it. in reply to abulsme
20:03:19 .@ScottNY71 @wgseattle Exactly. And you end up pushing yourself and doing too much, and probably delaying real recovery. :-/ in reply to ScottNY71
20:03:42 Retweeted @ScottNY71 20:03:32 @abulsme @wgseattle @Scatterbrandy @AmyNotAmy Exactly. Enterovirus is really just a cold unless you have other health issues. in reply to abulsme
