    Whole lot of “but the polls were right!” today. Yes, national averages were pretty good. Ditto for some states. But Michigan—Elissa Slotkin’s point of reference—was a disaster. Trump’s average in the month pre-Election Day was 41. He wound up at 47. That is a catastrophic miss.pic.twitter.com/L4GJo9L9dO

        Oh, and Pennsylvania was almost as bad, and Wisconsin was even worse. That was your ballgame in 2016– those three states. So, no, the polls were not right.

        Biden is not going to lose these states if he's ahead by even 5% in the popular vote, let alone 8%.

        Also almost every single one of those polls in the last week or two shows Trump in the 43-45% range. The Comey announcement pushed him over the edge. Clinton would have won if the election was a month earlier.

        This is valid. However, the Congresswoman's assertion that pollsters haven't adjusted their methodology since 2016 is simply not true whatsoever.

        So you see the part where it says Clinton average lead was 3.6 in the week prior? And trump won by .3? 4 points is typically within the margin of error. Love your work typically but you’re out to lunch here.

        I'd buy this if the economy were still good but... Look around! What the hell is going well right now!

        The country is collapsing -- and it will get worse when expanded UI runs out with the pandemic still raging. Name literally one thing going well right now.
