Since you didn't address the substance of my post, I guess you didn't actually read it.
My point is that political science research shows that when your candidate gets strongly positive polls it INCREASES your side's turnout. It does NOT make your side's voters complacent.
But there are exceptions. You may be one and are projecting your mindset onto the majority, which would be faulty inductive reasoning. But I appreciate that you want to win.
Also keep in mind that people who post on highly political sites like FreeRepublic are extraordinarily high propensity voters, who vote no matter what the polls are -- whether great, good, meh, bad, or horrible.
If you want to affect actual turnout, telling other Freepers to vote is preaching to the choir. There's a world of low-propensity voters out in the real world waiting for your obvious enthusiasm.
I read it fine.
But as you said:
“Also keep in mind that people who post on highly political sites like FreeRepublic are extraordinarily high propensity voters, who vote no matter what the polls are...”
Shows that my post was directed at people on FR as the general population isnt reading this site. And it wasn’t directed at voting, but at the activism of political junkies and activists as we are to not see a “good” poll as a reason to think that you can now relax.
