    Now that we're all, rightly, questioning polls, worth remembering the outsized roll NY Times polls had in damaging Elizabeth Warren's campaign by showing she did poorly against Trump. I often saw people who said they liked Warren cite those as grounds for not supporting her

        Given the actual vote however, there is a legitimate argument to suggest she would have fared far worse.

        So much twitter punditry ignores this basic fact! If the hyper engaged voters of a primary couldn’t get behind her (and voted for her), there’s no reason to believe the general would have been different.

        Oh come on. She's my senator, I like and vote for her, but there is no way she wins this general.

        Warren was the worst possible candidate the Dems could have nominated, imo. She would have probably lost the popular vote and absolutely lost the election. She had no appeal marginal voters and would have hyper-mobilized the right/Trumpists

        idk she seems like exactly the type of dem suburban types love (wine track, high education, etc) and trump voters were already hyper mobilized

        I'm a huge fan of Warren. She once had her own section of the site. But polls consistently showed her doing worse against Trump than Biden. I don't think there was any unique or significant role for polls associated with the Times.

        I think we can pretty much all agree polls mean nothing now
