    Default All the ways pollsters and the media were wrong, wrong, wrong

    I told most of the people who asked about polls that they can add 6 points to every poll showing Biden in the lead. I was pretty much right on.

    I am still VERY curious and suspicious about Arizona's outcome. I have never seen it go Democrat in my lifetime.

    All the ways pollsters and the media were wrong, wrong, wrong

    They blew it again. After muffing it spectacularly in 2016, when Hillary Clinton was supposed to cruise to easy victory over Donald Trump, pollsters and the media should be ashamed by how wrong they got this year’s election.

    Even after their cross-their-hearts-and-hope-to-die promises to fix flaws in their methodology — which always errs in their preferred, liberal direction.

    Like Clinton, Joe Biden was supposed to be a sure winner — possibly in a landslide victory over President Trump. Polling “guru” Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight gave Biden a whopping 89 percent chance of winning. RealClearPolitics’ compilation of polls showed Biden with an average 7.2 percentage-point national lead; some polls had the spread in the double digits at various times. In the top battleground states, Biden averaged a 2.3-point lead, according to RCP.

    Analysts talked of a “blue wave” — with Democrats winning the Senate as well as the White House, and gaining dozens of seats for their House majority. The message, amplified by a feverishly anti-Trump, left-leaning media, was clear: Donald Trump was toast, a one-term president who’d drag the whole party down. Count on it. And it sure is about time.

    So, what’s your point?

    Did you think anyone was going jump in and defend the polls? Nobody cares, it’s history, polls were wrong, they have been wrong before and will be wrong again, so what?

    Lefties can turn ANYTHING into a scam. They use polls to dishonestly manipulate elections.

    So the polls that predicted trump would lose were wrong? The election that made trump lose was also wrong? The voters were wrong? When you think everything and everyone is wrong in the same way, it is you that is wrong, we are right.

    They also project their own corrupt views and actions onto everyone else as well.

    Wrong again dumbass; the polls that predicted a Blue Tsunami for the Party of the Jackass were all wrong. Like I stated before the election, add six points to every poll that had Biden in the lead.

    On the Wednesday morning after the election at 5:00 a.m., Trump had more than a 700,000 vote lead in PA. By Saturday, Biden had a 82,000 vote lead. It's a fucking miracle!!.
