Would you have wanted to know the true poll numbers?

Would you have wanted to know, for weeks heading into the election, that PA, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona were statistically tied? That Biden would lose Florida handily? I'll be honest, I wouldn't. Someone posted some close polls on the Sunday before election here, and we all freaked out til we got some showing Biden winning Wisconsin and MI by 9 or 10. I'm glad the polls screwed up so much since it gave me peace of mind for weeks heading into the election.

1. The polls were not that wrong

It was the machines and the rat fucking with the mail in ballots

2. Yes. It would have helped get out the Democratic vote.

3. It seems to me Biden's internal polling was accurate per media reports

They believed the race was close in MI, WI, and PA. Felt “pretty good” about PA.
They believed they had a better chance of winning GA than FLA.
They believed AZ could flip.

Not bad.

The question for me is what was going on with the Senate and House races. We need reliable data. Too much money spent for too little return.

4. I thought BIDEN won Michigan by 160k not 9-10k am I wrong

5. The problem isn't just the public polls.

The internal and district level private polls are off quite a bit as well. That's where I have a bit of problem because it affects actual strategy for campaigns up and down the ticket and our party level investment into "toss up" races. I am happy Biden still won at the end but I wish the data is more accurate so our candidate/party can form a smart, effective and accurate strategy.

On a personal level, I think you are right and it helps me sleep better before election. But I don't want the campaigns to have inaccurate data.

6. assume the polls were wrong

for a very, very long time. Never assume the vote totals could be incorrect. No election security is great!
