Of course I started a thread yesterday about how the media was in CYA mode, but now the pollsters are joining in.
Not celebrating yet, of course, but it's a good sign!

(8,447 posts)At like 50.08 or some shit right? Doesn't Silver also do nothing but aggregate all polls, including bullshit ones? If he's saying Kamala is +50 WITH the bullshit polls, then I LOVE that.

(12,046 posts)He works for Thiel now and probably not to be trusted but he has been outspokenly critical of the polling in this cycle. He argues that its statistically pretty impossible to get these 50/49 polls in state after state after state even if its basically 50/50 race. Its happening because these pollsters are tweaking their internals to get the results they want so as not to stand out in the way Anne Selzer did. They are scared to be wrong.

(22,437 posts)...all the threads and posts these last few months, of all the chicken little dire predictions and polls. So we can bring them back and laugh at them four years from now when trolls post "OH NOEZ! DEMOCRATS ARE LOSING!" based on phony polls that year.
