They definitely have not learned their lesson. I was just looking at a number of polls that show Biden with an 11 or 12 point national lead and huge leads in battle ground states. No way are those polls accurate.
Regardless of the outcome, predicting some Biden blowout is pretty crazy. The lack of enthusiasm for Biden and incredible enthusiasm for Trump are at levels that I'm not sure I've ever seen. The crowds Trump is drawing are off the chain.
I think if Robert Cahaly and the Trafalagar Group nail tomorrow like they did 2016 they are going to supplant Nate Silver and 538 as the go-to pollsters.
But we'll know whether the polls are wrong (again) pretty soon.
The polls were wrong .
In a deeply divided and diverse electorate it may be impossible for national polls to be accurate .
You were absolutely correct about this being a close race.
Most on my side were too optimistic about the mythical blue landslide.
Biden will eek out a close, hard fought win, but the nation remains as divided as ever.
I'm happy that "Uncle Joe" will win , but I hope he avoids being pushed, too far left.
The country is too divided to generate much congressional consensus for extremes now.
Perhaps, you can join me in a future , civil political discourse on this forum.
Stay safe
