While most seem to be within the margin of error, it seems like it's 2 elections in a row where margin-of-error discrepancies saw a lot of elections go the other way compared to polls, which undermines a lot of confidence in pollsters' abilities. Pollsters nowadays really struggle for representative samples. There was some good articles I read about the UK elections and polls that suggested that phone interviews don't reach certain demographics almost at all and internet polls have a significant self-selection issue. | ||

Everything I'm reading here suggests we're going to have another Trump win soon. Hopefully not though. | ||

As the Dems move more and more secular and anti-religion with their progressive wing growing expect Latinos to continue to move to the GOP. | ||

That's at 61% reporting; it breaks toward Trump at 66%. | ||

Democrats in the Senate explicitly avoided that because they knew it was a bad strategy. That is a boogeyman made up by conservatives. | ||

Polls are off by more than just a mere "margin of error" this year. I suspect representative polling methods and coronavirus precautions don't mix, along with the standard batch of polling problems in recent decades. | ||

Their polls are shit. All polls with MOE more than 1.5% should be thrown out and almost to a tee they are +4.5% MOE. That invalidates their polls. Almost all elections will fall within those MOE so saying, but...it's within MOE is so dumb. Pollsters heavily outweigh D's compared to R's, but they'll continue to double down with "we're accurate, look at MOE". | ||

Hopefully not though. Can't entirely blame the pollsters, Trump supporters outright lie to them.They hold resposibility for oversamples/undersamples though. Main reasoning for my map i made back in September was just give Trump +4-5% minimum in all swing states lol. https://tl.net/forum/general/532255-us-politics-mega-thread?page=2598#51955 Probably would have Biden winning PA right now though, Trump a chance in NV considering hispanic issues for Biden. | ||

Maybe the dems are better on COVID, but people are turned off by their economic proposals or foreign policy, etc. You're acting like people are one-issue and they don't calculate dynamically. Plus, we have no idea how people ordinally rank their preferences. get real seriously. no one has fucked up your country more than trump on multilevels and if he wins you're really fucked. | ||
