Lol, Atlasintel was the most accurate pollster, Trafalgar was the second. Lol @ all of us, forever and always.
When the ājust make up what I want the outcome to beā pollsters outperform all Nate Silverās A+ rated pollsters, might be time for Nate Silver to sit out for a while. God he is so insufferable.
Donāt worry, an obnoxious āum, ACTUALLYā¦ā explanation is forthcoming.
He already did an article about how the polls were only mediocre this year, but not bad: The Death Of Polling Is Greatly Exaggerated | FiveThirtyEight
And in third place we haveā¦Rasmussen?!
Which means that Bidenās approval/disapproval rating right now is probably around 47 percent approve 51 percent disapprove per Rasmussen.
I really donāt get this line of thinking at all
like, do you actually think atlas/trafalgar are the best polling operations out there?
Obviously not, but for the past four years the āmake up the results we wantā firms doing as well or better than the real poling firms kind of makes you start to wonder about the utility of polling at all.
I guess bellyaching about dipshits on a heater is pretty on-brand for someone named ārivermanā

Of course not.
Polling is FUBAR, this is self-evident. They missed Wisconsin by like 12 points. Nateās āWELL AKSULLY THE POLLS WERE PRETTY GOODā act is just absurd.
The dude just needs to admit the polling is way off, nobody knows exactly why, and go from there. His mega-arrogant Iraqi General routine is ridiculous.
Yeah, i mean the one saving grace in 2016 was that National polling was pretty good even as state level polling sucked. In 2020 even national polling sucked.
The other Nate kinda refutes @NateSilver538 here:
