I promised some comments on the methodology behind the recent UNH Green Mountain poll showing Amanda Janoo leading @PhilScott4VT 51-43 (including leaners).

One caveat (so far!): the ChatGPT reweighting of Navigate's results using UNH's age distribution was meant to be illustrative, not exact.

Because UNH doesn't publish its weighted likely-voter age distribution (or at least I couldn't find it) the calculation used its published age figures and assumed uniform age distributions where the polls' age brackets differed.

The discrepancy is potentially significant, because younger voters overwhelmingly support Janoo, so including more of them in the turnout model is going to increase her support.

According to @ElectProject, just under 33% of Vermont ballots have been returned as of today. That's running behind the 2022 midterm turnout.
