Pollsters were wrong. AGAIN. Please explain why.

I can only think of two reasons why a predicted Kamala grand slam instead became a hat trick for Republicans (they now control the white house, senate, and house of representatives).

First possibility : millions of people lied to pollsters.

2nd possibility : those Pollsters lied to us.

Which do you think it was?

Third possibility the pollsters lied to themselves. They have routinely over-represented Democratic voters in their samples. They just keep on making the same sampling mistakes and shooting themselves in the foot.

I think there is some slanting toward giving those who are paying for the polls what they want to hear going on as well.

@bowman81 @bowman81 i'm leaning into the theory that they did this deliberately, to hoover up as much campaign money as possible until the last second. no candidate or campaign will pay for bad news.

@bowman81 I have said for decades that polls are inaccurate and biased, they only select on average ot 1,500 people in specific areas to show what they wish to.
