A Foray into the 2024 Presidential Election, Part XII
It's been a couple of weeks, since the last review. Not a lot has changed, but there were some minor adjustments.
The republican edge in Arizona, narrowed a bit (-0.2%), but still in the slight range beyond the margin of error.
The republican edge in Pennsylvania, increased a bit (+0.8), which moved it from the Toss Up category back to slight, with it being just above the margin of error.
