They were accurate to the point that Clinton out performed expectations on the popular vote. Polls are not predictions, anyway. Yes quite. They were signaling a massive electoral landslide for Clinton, which as you've indicated, the electoral college is all that matters. Thus why 538 had to put out numerous articles over the next few weeks explaining why they were dead wrong then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware mate, I live here, haha. To be fair to pollsters, the winner takes all nature of (most) American states makes it difficult for them in close runs. If pollsters say that Biden will win a state by 0.1% and he actually loses by 0.1%, for instance, they are accurate to within 0.2% across millions of votes. And, still, completely wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed a few things to fall in his favour and they did. They don't make predictions, they simply run a model which runs umpteen simulations and works out probability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you voted did you vote the same down ballot, and can you do that with one tick or button or do you have to do it for every job? Not that I'm nosey or anything.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempted to switch Fox on for bantz. Watching the Chapo stream. Atm they're watching compilations of people taking hits to the baws. In 2016 I started watching Infowars for a laugh, fell asleep and woke up to Alex Jones and Roger Stone drinking champagne and grinning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Very early numbers from Kentucky look promising for Biden but surely nobody expects that to hold up, however, not even a threesome with Brianna Keilar and Kate McKinnon would give me as much pleasure as seeing Mitch McConnell getting well and truly hounded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arabdownunder Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Highest turnout in 100 years is bad news for Trump surely. His entire strategy was based around eroding the soft Biden vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
