“Yes, the Polling Warning Signs Are Flashing Again,” announces a New York Times headline. “Democrats are polling well in exactly the places where surveys missed most in 2020,” adds the Times.

That warning sign is flashing again: Democratic Senate candidates are outrunning expectations in the same places where the polls overestimated Mr. Biden in 2020 and Mrs. Clinton in 2016.

Polling was never broken. Polls over sample Dems, to discourage Republicans from voting. This tactic has been used for a very long time now.
