      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

      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.

      Warren would have lost Florida by 10 points

      I feel less certain about all this stuff given polling failures.

          Sure, but the answer can't be "Hey, if the polls were bad, anything is possible!" We have concrete electoral results in Warren's case. None of them suggest that she would have been able to beat Trump.

          Max Kennerly Retweeted a left-leaning but high-quality polling outlet

          Independents in battlegrounds who weren't happy about Biden liked her a lot. Who knows how this would've played out with entirely different facts, but, to Jeet's point, the NYTimes/Siena really did seem to affect her chances and drive later polling down.https://twitter.com/SeanMcElwee/status/1285224283527053312 …

          Systemic polling error undercounting Trump support makes you think that Warren would have done better because polling error? Please explain that logic
