In Iowa so much for the trash poll at DRM

1. I always thought IA is more a reach than TX.

It was barely competitive when Biden was at his high with Trump's disastrous first debate and his COVID positive period. My impression the whole time is republicans will go home near election day. It's the senate seat that I am looking at there.

2. DRM is gold standard of the polling outfits . . . .

that said, they are not perfect.

7. I know they call the DMR the gold standard but after doing so digging

Did not correctly call the last 2 dem primaries,
Did not correctly call the gop primary in 16

Over 20 percent of Selzer’s polls over the years for general elections have been wrong (I think the number I saw somewhere perhaps from Nate Silver was 21). So for GE polling she’s just another fair-to-good-but-not-great pollster that sometimes calls it wrong.

3. I agree- Biden should keep it close so that we get the Senate

I have to say Michelle Obama is not helping us by not going to Iowa.

4. Good news on the senate race. It'd be great to take that one.

5. I tweeted Mrs Obama and asked her to go to IOwa

I am not sure why she is not going. Granted, she is not listening to me.

6. The Seltzer poll

Has 12% undecided. That seems high in this environment. Not doubting the quality of the poll. I believe trump will get around 48% so where does the other 52% go to?
