    The United States is looking at the biggest voter turnout, as a percentage of the total number of eligible voters, in well over a century. My instinct is to say that makes polling less reliable but I'd love to know what actual experts think.

        This would indicate that the polls would be incorrect in a not-totally-awful way, no?

        I think so, but I'd love to know if we have any idea of who exactly all these new voters are.

        Really kind of odd that this is happening in the middle of a plague.

        It's happening because of the plague, in a way.

        the polls see the huge turnout, its why Marist is just doing RV. That said, LV screens may be less than accurate this year.

        Just makes the LV screen more like the RV, yes?

        Not a polling expert but my guess is it depends entirely on how different pollsters weight their polls and which demographics increase turn out. If it's a surge in the young, but Black voters are suppressed in some states, or if it's a surge across the board, etc. etc. etc.

        LVs are traditionally older and whiter so the skew on LVs could be significantly off if a lot of young people and POCs are voting for the first time or first time in several elections.
