Biden could still win the popular vote by 9. Several of these states that look off are going to change a lot in the next couple days.

For instance. I bet Biden wins MI by 5.

We will be lucky to win by a couple thousand votes.

Never again am I gonna out stock in a poll until they can consistently an accurately forecast - and even then I’m gonna give em a lot of side eye.

Where the company manufacturing it won't allow inspection due to proprietary rights is dead to me forever. The pollsters have improved their methods.

And just yesterday morning said Florida was a “toss up.”

Are the internal polls of the candidates that much better and if so, why?
