With the 2020 U.S. presidential election approaching, this project page is a list of state by state predictions made by Conservapedia editors to provide a helpful insight on the background of the overall election. Projections are made by analyzing the best and latest available polls in each state, as well as a host of non-numerical factors.

Statewide projections

To estimate the likely distribution of electoral college votes this November, a first stage is gathering cumulative data on polling from which to draw inferences.

Alabama

College Votes at Stake: 9

Alabama looks set to be another comfortable win for President Trump. Two different polls show the President with a comfortable 20 point lead over Biden. [1]

Source Date Sample Biden Trump
Mason-Dixon 2/11/20 625 38 58
WPA Intelligence 1/28/20 500 38 59

Alaska

College Votes at Stake: 3

Alaska was a Republican red state in the last election and all indications suggest it will be so again in 2020. A Zogby Analytics poll from July-August 2019 showed President Trump comfortably beating all candidates and beating Biden by 5. A more recent poll shows President Trump continues to lead Biden. And another shows a complete decimation. [2]

Source Date Sample Biden Trump
Zogby Analytics Jul-Aug 19 321 40 45
Public Policy Polling Jul 2020 1081 45 48
Auburn University Jul 2020 558 41 55

Arizona

College Votes at Stake: 11

Arizona looks set to be a tough race this time. A couple of polls show Trump closely behind Biden, but within the margin of error, in the state. A June 2020 poll shows President Trump pulling ahead, supporting Conservapedia's analysis of President Trump's powerful ground game within the State.

Source Date Sample Biden Trump
Gravis Marketing 06/27/20 527 45 49
Monmouth University 03/14/20 847 46 43
Public Policy Polling 03/02/20 666 48 47

In addition, the ground support for President Trump looks very good in Arizona: "“We have over two million voter contacts,” said Keith Schipper, the campaign’s regional communications director responsible for Nevada and Arizona. “Contrast that with Joe Biden, who just hired his first two staffers last week. They are parachuting in to try to build these relationships. Arizona voted for the president in 2016 and it’s going to go for him again in November.” [3]

Arkansas

College Votes at Stake: 6

Arkansas will be a very comfortable victory for President Trump. Polls from February show President Trump sailing to victory with a lead of 22 points.

Source Date Sample Biden Trump
Progress Campaign Poll 02/27/20 643 36 58

California

College Votes at Stake: 55

California being one of the most liberal states in the union is a safe bet for the Democrats. Emerson Polling shows Biden leads Trump by 30 points, but only 54% of Californians expect Biden to be the next president. Enthusiasm for Trump is higher at 55% while sleepy Joe Biden has a low enthusiasm rate of 48% in California.

Source Date Sample Biden Trump "Biden Expectation"
Emerson Polling 05/10/20 800 59 29 54

Colorado

College Votes at Stake: 9

Colorado has consistently polled in favor of Biden, but some of those polls were before the disclosures of Tara Reade that Biden sexually assaulted her had had their impact on voters. It remains to be seen if Biden's lead will decrease as a consequence of it in coming months.

Michigan

College Votes at Stake: 16

Michigan is a top swing state typically and it was an extremely close call in the last election, with President Trump eking out a narrow victory by less than 0.5%. All indications are it will be a close race again in 2020. An Atlas Intel poll from March 2020 shows President Trump in a narrow lead.

Source Date Sample Biden Trump
Atlas Intel Mar 20 1120 44 46

Minnesota

College Votes at Stake: 16

Minnesota is another swing state typically and was also a close call in the last election, with President Trump losing by a small margin less than 5%. All indications are it will be a close race again in 2020. A Mason Dixon poll from May 2020 shows President Trump behind Sleepy Joe Biden.

Source Date Sample Biden Trump
Mason Dixon May 2020 800 49 44

Mississippi

College Votes at Stake: 6

Mississippi is a red state which President Trump comfortably won in 2016. All indications are that he will win it again by a comfortable margin.

Ohio

College Votes at Stake: 18

Ohians have high levels of enthusiasm for President Trump, at 70% vs just 39% for Biden, a factor that could be key in a landslide victory for the President. Trump's lead over Biden is much closer, at just 3 points, but the massive enthusiasm gap could have a huge impact e.g. on voter turnout, on election day, Nov. 3rd.

Source Date Sample Biden Trump "Trump Expectation"
Emerson Polling 05/10/20 725 43 46 62

Oklahoma

College Votes at Stake: 7

Similar to 2016, President Trump should comfortably win Oklahoma, normally a reliably red state.

Tennessee

College Votes at Stake: 11

President Trump repeatedly demonstrates a very solid ground game and massive support in Tennessee. Conservapedia predicts he will almost certainly carry the state.

Texas

College Votes at Stake: 38

Texans are very enthusiastic about Trump (67%) compared to Biden (40%), a factor that could prove decisive in the end. Trump's lead over Biden is much closer, at just 5 points, but the huge enthusiasm gap suggests Biden is just unable to click with voters in the way that President Trump clearly has.

National projections

Stony Brook University's Professor Helmut Norpoth, who correctly predicted a Donald Trump victory in 2016 against mainstream media naysaying, estimates there is a 91% likelihood that President Trump will win again in November 2020: ""OK, the key to the November election is the primaries. And, the only primaries [are] already giving us a lot of information," he explained.

And, based on that, Donald Trump won them very easily in his party," Norpoth continued. "Joe Biden -- the likely nominee for the Democrats -- had a great deal of trouble holding it together. But, on balance, it's that stronger performance of primaries that gives Donald Trump the edge in November."[4]

2020 Election Projections

State Biden 2020 Electoral
College Votes
Trump 2020 Electoral
College Votes
Comment: Explanation/Reasoning
Alabama 0 9 Two polls showing clear victory with 20% lead.
Alaska 0 3 Five percentage point lead implies a likely victory.
Arizona 0 11 Too close to call, as more data is needed for clear inference, especially with fake "polling" rampant. While generally considered a red state, Arizona has long elected RINO John McCain into office, given a coalition of neocons that especially play an important political role in Maricopa County. Currently somewhat of a tossup, Trump's chances of winning are similar to Martha McSally's in the latter's concurrent Senate special election. The state is currently being carpetbagged by common sense-lacking California liberals who move there and continue voting for Democrats that favor destructive policies. Awarded to President Trump on strength of ground support. [5]
Arkansas 0 6 A comfortable lead of over 22% showing certain victory.
California 55 0 30 point lead for Biden means he will be hard to beat here.
Colorado 9 0 Polls imply Biden has a lead of nearly 20 points in the state. At one point a Republican state, Colorado has been trending blue ever since the 2008 presidential race, although Trump lost by only just under 5% in the state in 2016.
Connecticut 7 0 Candidate Biden has a commanding lead in the polls.
Delaware 3 0 Candidate Biden has a commanding lead in the polls, although some have noted that the state isn't as solidly blue as many expect.
Florida 0 29 President Trump won Florida in 2016 and still has strong support; the state is known for tending to favor incumbents.
Georgia 0 16 President Trump comfortably won in 2016, although Georgia is slightly trending blue.
Hawaii 4 0 President Trump lost the state in 2016.
Idaho 0 4 President Trump comfortably won in 2016.
Illinois 20 0 President Trump lost the state in 2016.
Maine 4 0 Incumbent strongly favored. Trump lost in 2016.
Maryland 10 0 Incumbent strongly favored. Trump lost in 2016.
Massachusetts 11 0 Incumbent strongly favored. Trump lost in 2016.

Ohio 0 18 Enthusiasm gap suggests a decisive victory for President Trump.
Oklahoma 0 7 Past trends suggests a likely victory for President Trump.

Texas 0 38 Enthusiasm gap suggests a decisive victory for President Trump.
Washington 12 0 Polls show a comfortable lead and victory for Candidate Biden.
