The titanic Biden-Trump election likely will be decided by roughly 6% of voters in just six states, top strategists in both parties tell us.

    Pollsters have continuously & spectacularly failed over the past 8 years to account for the overturn of Roe vs. Wade At this point it’s either on purpose or they are incredibly incompetent.

      I always compare polls to the photo finish of horse races, which we had two of this last weekend. At best, polls are only an indicator of opinions in a brief moment in time. At worst, the sample size is incorrectly constructed or the question is in a way to skew results.

        Wouldn’t it be more akin to a snapshot during a race? Anything can change after that until the finish. A photo finish strikes me more as final night counting of actual votes. And “too close to call”
