The polls couldn't predict active collusions with Russia to make margins in key swing districts close. Surprises happen.
This has been one of the most stable races in history, and whatever chances Trump had likely didn't hinge upon him NOT catching COVID and being hospitalized a month before Election Day.
Flashback to October 16, 2016, when NBC News eagerly reported that Hillary Clinton was up 11 points with just three weeks to go.
Conclusion: It was over.
Deja vu, anyone?
Once again, polls are only as good as the day you were taken. So Clinton would have likely won if the election was held on October 16. When Nov. 1 arrived to the day before the election, polls in battleground states had become too close to call.
Hillary has always been unpopular, & disliked by many groups. I don't think Biden has the same heavy baggage, although I will admit he has some ( they & we all do).
A question for Trump supporters: If the polls are so wrong, why do you keep starting threads about them or mentioning them in many other threads? Surely if they are so wrong, they would mean nothing?
It's the same thing whenever the stock market goes up= TRUMP IS THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER, but when it craters= NOT TRUMP'S FAULT!
Confirmation bias has real life consequences.
