      I always like to praise Michael when he writes something sensible, as here.https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1223816098463801345 …

      The only people super invested in one canceled Iowa poll are hardcore data junkies whose primary experience of politics is via Twitter. The caucus is in two days, who cares at this point

      It's just one fucking poll people, so whatever the results it wouldn't have materially altered the aggregate polls (which are the best source we have), nor the final results (which are in 2 days).

          I don't think people particularly care about the poll per se so much as the extremely shady cancellation of the poll

          Assume that a bunch of younger people tweeting about this on a saturday night have some kind of void we are trying to fill.

          it takes like zero effort to tweet, just because people are tweeting doesn't mean they're super invested

          No, but it would have altered the front-page of Iowa's biggest newspaper tomorrow. I believe there is a decent amount of empirical work suggesting that perceptions of "momentum" on the eve of a vote can aid a candidate

          Maybe. But I think the candidate who is likely to win on Monday will do so not on the back of a perception of momentum but on the back of an unprecedented army of volunteers.

          Because a lot of what goes into politics is narrative driven. That's what polling tries to engineer.

          It's not the poll people are mad about. It's the fake news.

          Not only is it just one poll but it has hardly been infallible in the past; in 2016 it had Trump leading for the GOP caucus. https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2016/01/30/donald-trump-reclaims-lead-latest-iowa-poll/79562322/ …
